Regardless of your hair’s length or texture, 2024 is the year for bangs. They can shine a spotlight on your features by framing your face, and are relatively low maintenance with the right techniques and products. If you have curly hair, you’ve probably considered and abandoned the idea of bangs, simply because of how unpredictable curls can often be.
ADVERTISEMENT “Curly hair can look great one day, and like a frizzy mess on the next. Humid conditions may make curls difficult to style,” says celebrity hairstylist (inset) Drishya Bhagyanath. However, she also notes that on the plus side, if your hair is naturally curly, you can look effortlessly well-groomed with minimal styling, instead of using heat to iron or blow-dry it straight.
“Curly hair behaves differently than straight hair. When getting your bangs cut, keep in mind that your hair will look shorter once it dries off. Avoid cutting your bangs too short when your hair is wet.
Alternatively, you could ask your stylist to cut your bangs while your hair is dry,” Bhagyanath advises. Before committing to bangs, remember that they will need regular trims and touch-ups to keep looking their best. If you aren’t prepared to take the plunge, you could experiment with pinning up the front-centre section of your hair to create faux bangs, try clip-on bangs, or even a textured shag with longer curly bangs.
Choose your bangs based on the face shape and hair type, Bhagyanath adds, offering the following guidelines: >> .
