Curly Hair and Fringe Dilemma
Welcome to a week celebrating curly hair! One of the biggest curly hair problems is whether to have a fringe / bangs and how to style them. Curly hair has a tendency to shrink up once it curls. I don’t know anyone with curly hair that hasn’t had a fringe cut too short or a disaster.
Should You Get Bangs with Curly Hair?
Many curly-haired individuals struggle with whether or not to get bangs. The decision ultimately depends on the type of curls you have and the amount of maintenance you are willing to put into styling your bangs. If you have loose curls, bangs can be a great addition to your hairstyle. However, if you have tight, coiled curls, bangs may require more maintenance to keep them looking polished.
The Best Bangs for Curly Hair
If you decide to get bangs with curly hair, it’s important to choose a style that complements your curls. Wispy, textured bangs are a great option for curly hair as they blend seamlessly with the natural texture of your hair. Additionally, longer, side-swept bangs can be a low-maintenance option for curly hair, as they can easily blend in with the rest of your curls.
How to Style Curly Bangs
Styling curly bangs can be a challenge, but with the right techniques, you can achieve a polished look. Start by applying a styling product to damp bangs to help define the curls. Use a diffuser attachment on your blow dryer to dry your bangs, scrunching them gently with your hands to encourage the natural curl pattern. Once dry, use a small barrel curling iron to touch up any areas that need extra definition. Finish off with a lightweight hairspray to hold the style in place.
Mistakes to Avoid
When getting bangs with curly hair, there are some common mistakes to avoid. One of the biggest mistakes is getting bangs cut too short. Since curly hair has a tendency to shrink up, it’s important to communicate with your stylist about the length you want your bangs to be when dry. Additionally, cutting bangs too bluntly can result in a harsh, unnatural look with curly hair. Opt for soft, textured edges to create a seamless transition between your bangs and the rest of your curls.
Conclusion
Ultimately, the decision to get bangs with curly hair comes down to personal preference and the amount of maintenance you are willing to put into styling your hair. If you decide to take the plunge and get bangs, be sure to choose a style that complements your natural curl pattern and work with your stylist to avoid common mistakes. With the right styling techniques, curly bangs can be a stylish and flattering addition to your overall look.
