3 Easy Ways to Style Curtain Bangs
Follow along to learn how to style curtain bangs 3 different ways, including a flat iron method. It’s easy and you can change your style from day to day.
Tools and materials:
- Tail comb
- Sink
- Small, round brush
- Hair dryer
- Hair straightener
- Claw clip
- Texturizing product
Method 1: Base style
1. Separate your bangs
Use a comb to separate your bangs from the rest of your hair.
2. Blow-dry your bangs
Wet your bangs. Attach the concentrator piece to your hairdryer.
Brush your bangs from side to side while drying, using a round brush.
Blow the air downward until your bangs are completely dry.
3. Style the long pieces
Take the long pieces of your curtain bangs to the sides. Put the round brush behind them and apply more heat with the hair dryer.
Repeat with the long pieces on the other side.
4. Style the middle section
Collect about half of the middle, shorter pieces and brush them down to one side while drying them.
Then grab the rest of those shorter pieces, even with some from the first half. Then brush and dry them to the other side.
Without heat, brush under the middle section to smooth and add volume.
This is the base style that I use for the other curtain bang styles.
You can leave your bangs like this, you can add some product and take the bangs to the side, or follow on for the other methods.
Method 2: Wavy, natural vibe
If you have straight hair, you can start at this point. If you have wavy hair, you should start with blow drying, as in the first method.
Your hair should be dry before beginning this second method.
1. Curl small sections with your flat iron
Pull back the rest of your hair in a claw clip. Then work with very small pieces to curl them inward on the flat iron.
Once curled, pull the end toward your ear until it cools off.
Continue until after the halfway point of your curtain bangs.
Then grab the last section and curl it to the other side.
2. Comb through
At this point your bangs should look a bit crazy. Tame them by running a comb through them, keeping fingers at the top to anchor them.
3. Curl the tips
Touch up by curling the ends of any longer pieces downward so that they aren’t sticking out.
This style is more relaxed and wavy. You can add product or even add more waves to the rest of your hair if you want.
It looks cute with the hair up as well:
Method 3: Basic with flat iron
This style is especially for people with wavy to curly hair.
1. Work with the long, outer sections
Never go straight downward with your flat iron because it will end up benign too straight.
Always give a slight bend, following your head shape as a guide.
Continue with the other long sections of bangs.
2. Work with the short, middle sections
Do the same motion with the short, middle section of hair, following a curve over your face, being careful not to burn your forehead.
3. Style with your fingers
Use your fingers to mold and style the hair to sit in the right place. You can add dry shampoo or texturizing product if you want.
The results are similar to the first method, just without a blow dryer.
Of course, if you have very curly hair, the results will be different.
