5 Ways to Successfully Pull Off Long Hair Bangs
5 Ways to Successfully Pull Off Long Hair Bangs
1. Side-Swept
Long and sleek bangs look super sexy when swept off to one side, so don’t be afraid to try out this mod look if your bangs are longer. To get this come-hither vibe, start by applying a styling wax, like S Factor by TIGI Creamy Molding Wax, onto your bangs to help them stay in place. Then, begin to gently brush out your bangs with a fine-toothed comb, and pin off to the side with some classic bobby pins.
2. Curled
Curling long bangs also helps them look prim and polished, especially if you want them to appear a bit shorter than they already are. To give your bangs some curl and extra volume, use TREsemme Beauty-Full Volume Touchable Bounce Mousse before styling to give your bangs a necessary pick-up. Then, take a 1/2-inch curling iron and proceed to curl your bangs around the barrel. To give your bangs a curly-wave effect, take a paddle brush and gently brush your curls out.
3. Middle-Parted
Parting your bangs in the center also gives them a sleek and sophisticated appearance. A look that feels both ’70s boho and runway-inspired, achieving this style doesn’t take up too much of your time. To get this simple look, start by applying a dime-sized amount of TRESemmé TRES Two Mega Firm Control Gel onto clean hair. Then use a fine-toothed comb to brush both sides of your bangs off to the side, keeping the emphasis on the middle part.
4. Long and Fringed
We won’t deny that wearing your bangs long and fringed always makes for a fashion-forward style. However, If you find that your bangs are getting super oily too fast, using some dry shampoo as you style helps keep any greasiness at bay. The key to using dry shampoo correctly is not overdoing it on your bangs. Too much product will weight them down, making them look limp and lifeless. We love the instant refresh we get from Nexxus Keraphix Dry Shampoo.
5. Streaked
Playing around with some color is another way to show off your longer bangs, especially if you want a look that really turns heads. For a dramatic twist, try highlighting your fringe with a bold color, or experiment with color-blocking (we’re talking thick platinum bangs!) to give your ‘do an eye-catching finish.
