How to Wear Bangs With Curly Hair

Bangs can add volume, balance, and lift to any hair style – curls included! They look incredibly flattering if worn soft and wispy or long curtain fringe, giving you a facelift, volume, and balance. Use lightweight gels or creams with shea butter, avocado oil, macadamia nut oil, and jojoba oil to keep curly bangs smooth and bouncy. We especially like this product featuring these oils!

Micro-Bangs

Micro bangs are short, daring bangs that add an unmistakably bold statement. Your hairstylist may suggest blowing out or flat ironing them smooth to create an eye-catching style as Bella Hadid has; otherwise, they might suggest leaving them curly and sweeping them to one side, as Bella has.

Messy Piecey Bangs

For a messy yet coiffed look, piecey bangs with separated strands for an organic feathery and choppy effect are ideal for creating an effortlessly coiffed look. Perfect for curly or wavy textures alike and great with bangs below the eyebrows like Winnie Harlow’s thick pixie!

Graduated Cut for Shapely Bangs

If you want your bangs to maintain their shape, consult a hairstylist about a graduated cut where one side is longer than the other to soften the sharp features of square and round faces. This style works exceptionally well on Asian face shapes.

Full Blunt Bangs

While there may be an outdated notion that bangs and curly hair shouldn’t go together, due to shrinkage and resembling too closely to a poodle-esque style, this style disproves it. Working with a stylist specializing in curly hair creates an easily manageable fringe that blends beautifully into the natural waves in your locks. This girl has an elegant chin-length French bob that features face-framing curtain bangs in a dirty blonde hue that is weightless yet sophisticated. Highlighting the volume of her natural curls, these bangs graze across her eyebrows before tapering down to soften her forehead. Pairing long wavy curtain bangs with a hair scarf adds a playful element to any curly hairstyle. A diffuser attachment on your blow dryer can keep your curls bouncy and frizz under control, while for smoother results, use either smoothing cream or smoothing iron (spraying your strands first with a heat protectant is advised!).

Cropped Bob with Bangs

Put some drama and femininity into your short, curly bob with wispy bangs for an eye-catching style perfect for mature hair. This charming layered cut combines tight coils with face-framing fringe for an adorable style, ideal for mature locks. Ask your stylist to use platinum lowlights throughout your tresses for added shine, with emphasis placed on your fringe and around your face to emphasize your eyes and give a truly gorgeous finish. For those wanting to try the bangs trend but are still deciding whether to commit fully, try this angled bob with side-swept fringe and deep side parting for maximum impact without taking up too much space. The deep side parting provides the illusion of long, wavy bangs without taking up too much room in their own right. Showcase your beautiful curls with this textured, chin-length French bob with loose, wispy curtain bangs and loose, wispy curtain bangs for an eye-catching style that shows off your lovely waves. A chocolate brown hue gives this cute cut an incredibly sophisticated yet seductive aesthetic for a night out on the town; just dust on some dry texturizing spray to keep strands in place!

Soft Wavy Curtain Bangs

Curtain bangs are an excellent way to frame curly locks in an elegant and feminine manner, framing the face softly yet subtly. Medium-length hair works best, as this style blends naturally into natural coils. If you want something bolder, dying your wavy bangs, a cool gray shade will complement most complexions while looking less garish than brighter hues. Straight bangs work best with straight hair textures like straight and sleek locks; however, most curly textures can also wear them. The key is keeping them short enough not to cover too much of your face or be swept sideways or tucked behind ears – Storm Reid’s choppy bangs are an example of this trend, featuring long textured strands that fall over her eyebrows and brush against her eyes, creating a flirty and attractive look; Janelle Monae also wears fluffy, voluminous waves that feature this trend beautifully.
