How to Blow-Dry & Style Your Bangs

Start with a fringe that suits you 

Fringes can completely transform your look, but the key is choosing the right style for your hair texture and face shape. When selecting your fringe, focus on styles that highlight your favourite features and complement your style. 

Fine, straight hair can look beautiful with a textured or angled fringe, which requires less styling while enhancing your hair’s natural movement.  

If you have curly hair, a soft, layered fringe can create a playful look, especially with some long layers that complement your hair’s natural curl pattern. 

Thicker hair often looks striking with a straight fringe that holds its shape and frames the face. 

Why styling makes a difference 

Proper fringe styling brings out the best in your haircut. Effective blow-drying techniques and styling products give your bangs the perfect amount of volume and bounce. 

Styling your fringe properly helps your hair to stay in place and out of your eyes throughout the day. When done right, your fringe can become an essential part of your signature style. Whether you wear your hair up or down, a fringe frames your face and complements your overall look. 

Expert advice for styling your bangs

A well-styled fringe highlights your features and adds character to your haircut. Try these expert techniques to create a fringe style that lasts:    

• Start with clean hair: Clean hair is easier to manage and holds its shape for longer.  

• Use heat protection: To keep hair healthy and shiny, use a heat protectant spray or cream.  

• Use a large, round brush: Blow-drying around the right brush can add volume to your fringe.  

• Create a sleek finish with hair straighteners: Work evenly through small sections for consistent results.  

• Finish with hairspray: Apply a fine mist of hairspray to keep your style in place throughout the day.  

• Refresh with dry shampoo: If your fringe appears flat, dry shampoo can add texture and volume without adding weight.  

• Try a diffuser: For curly hair, a diffuser attachment on your hairdryer can enhance your natural texture.

How to blow-dry your fringe for maximum volume

1. Start with clean, damp hair. 
2. Use a small amount of volumising product before styling. 
3. Position your head upside down and rough-dry your fringe first. 
4. Use a round brush underneath your fringe (the larger the brush, the softer the volume). 
5. Direct the airflow from your hairdryer onto the brush, moving from the roots to the ends. 
6. Rotate the brush away from your face while applying heat. 
7. Set your bangs with a cold shot. 
8. Use a small amount of finishing product or hairspray, applied from underneath, to maintain volume.
