How to Do Faux Bangs Using Your Own Hair & 2 Bobby Pins
You don’t need to cut your hair anymore if you want to try out bangs for a day! I will show you how to create faux bangs with your own hair. No hair pieces or scissors are involved, just two bobby pins and a little time!
I discovered how to make faux bangs when I did my 60s hair video. I then perfected the DIY faux bangs technique a little more, and I’m so excited to show you how you can do it, too.
Tools and materials:
- 2 bobby pins
1. Section your hair
I like to start with a center parting just because I like this look best. Starting from one side, section the front part of your hair, as shown. So, from the top down to your temple.
2. Estimate the length
Pull the section forward, straight over your face. Then, hold it down approximately where you want your bangs to end.
3. Twist and pin
Grab the ends and twist them outward.
You should have something like this. Pull the top strands, so they aren’t bunched up.
Then, keep twisting the ends while holding the top part in place. Also, spread out the hair, so it’s nice and neat.
Pin your twisted section right on the side of your face.
Straighten and spread the top as needed.
There’s your first half done!
4. Repeat
Now, follow the same process on the other side, ensuring the length of your faux bang is the same.
5. Make adjustments
You can go back and adjust your hair as needed.
