Some of the ways to style your curtain bangs are;
- Flat Iron
Use a flat iron after blow-drying your bangs to style your bangs in the direction that you want them to be. This is the simplest way of styling your curtain bangs. Twisting the flat iron assists to give your hair more curls especially rolling it from your face downwards.
- BlowDrying And Brushing
As you blow-dry your bangs, use a brush to make curls on your hair to the waves and style that you desire. The heat from the blow drier helps to hold the curls into position. Blowing them while brushing with a round bush gives the curtain bangs a bouncy feature making them firm and curlier.
- Curling Iron
The difference between the curling iron and then blow-drying with a brush is that the curling iron makes more curls compared to the blow-drying method. Adding some moisturizing spray to the curls after styling helps to keep them in shape.
Curtain bangs can work absolutely well for people with thin hair and one that is not of large volume as the addition of curls helps to make the hair fluffier. When styling and blow-drying your curtain bangs, you may want to make your hair damp first to prevent heat loss. You can also make curtain bangs by folding damp hair into rollers and leaving them overnight this enables you to get curls even without using irons or blow driers.
Curtain bangs is a long-lasting hairstyle that only requires regular trimming and incorporating curls as the hair length increases making it a cost-effective hairstyle. While it is an easy-to-style hairstyle, we recommend getting it done at your salon if you are not sure the kind of variation you need.
