#1: How to Style Straight Bangs

Whether thick or feathered, wearing bangs straight has been the most common way to style hairstyles with bangs. Here is how to make your bangs lay as you want it to.

Start drying your fringe with a paddle brush: direct it from one side to the other, following your motion with a hairdryer. Carry on until your bangs are about 70% dry; then use a round brush and blow dry your hair straight forwards. Make sure you don’t lift your fringe up and don’t curl it, otherwise it will look too poofy. Any wispy side pieces around your face can be added to that drying pattern too. End your blow dry with a cool air blast to lock in the shape of your hair and add that extra shine.

#2: How to Style Side-Swept Bangs

With the well-selected length and finish, side-swept bangs can complement any face shape. Whether your fringe is eye-skimming or reaching your cheekbones, you can style your side bangs to perfection following these steps.

Direct all your hair to the opposite side from where you want it to sit eventually, take a wide barrel brush and blow dry it backward – this will give your fringe a relaxed bend with loads of movement and volume.
