Abergel recommends keeping the length \u201cjust above the eyes [as in, pupils] but just below the brows\u201d and with a little less of a pronounced peak than curtain bangs. But more risk-averse types might opt for keeping the length closer to the tip of the nose.<\/p>\n
The cut can also be adapted to straight or wavy hair. (My hair is wavy, and on days when the barometer simply isn\u2019t cooperating and my bangs won\u2019t lie flat on my face, I brush them away from my forehead where they blend right into the rest of my curls.) If your hair is tightly coiled, \u201cyou\u2019ll want the bangs to be a little longer since they will shrink up,\u201d Kimble says.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve been hesitant to cut any type of bangs in the past because of cowlicks, it\u2019s time to pull out your big-girl hairdryer and follow this advice from Abergel:<\/p>\n
\u201cMake sure the roots of your bangs are very wet before blowdrying. Then, use a Denman brush [with nylon bristles] or comb to direct the bangs tightly across the forehead, from one side to the other, as you\u2019re blowing them dry. This takes away cowlicks and makes them fall as naturally as possible,\u201d he says. Unless you\u2019re going for a really pronounced curled-under look, \u201cyou shouldn\u2019t use a big round brush while blowing bangs dry,\u201d Abergel says. In fact, the famous stylist Vidal Sasoon never used a round brush to style hair, only a Denman brush or a comb to smooth it, he adds.<\/p>\n

If your hair is fine and thin and you want a bit of extra volume throughout your bangs, consider sprinkling in a bit of dry shampoo, such as The Rootist Clarify Dry Shampoo Powder, or spritzing in a volumizer, such as Virtue Volumizing Primer, while you\u2019re blow drying. If your hair is really thick, you may want to hit your bangs with a flat iron after drying to ensure they don\u2019t get puffy, Kimble says. And if you\u2019re wearing your mid-face bangs curly or wavy, prime them with a moisturizing cream, such as Kim Kimble Signature Selection Curl Cream, then let them air dry, for a piece-y effect.<\/p>\n

Another must when styling mid-face bangs? Creaseless clips. \u201cI like to clip them in right at the root while they\u2019re still cooling from the heat of the dryer to help lock them down,\u201d John D says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
