SHAGGY AND CURLY
TIME: 0 minutes. They’re the perfect match
for anyone who wants to wear their bangs
natural, says Austin.
WHAT YOU NEED: Air...from the earth.CHOPPY
TIME: 3 minutes. They don’t need to be
perfect (they’re supposed to look relaxed).
WHAT YOU NEED: A dryer and texturiz-
ing spray for a lived-in look (try Nexxus
Between Washes Air Lift Dry Texture
Finishing Spray, $12, drugstores).LONG
TIME: 5 minutes. You’ve gotta do some
strategic brush work on these.
WHAT YOU NEED: A dryer to blow your
bangs downward (so the center section
lies flat against your forehead) and a
round brush to create a flip at the ends.

hairstyle she
used to have
like...“When I start to look
tired, I know my
bangs need a trim
to open my eyes up
again. I use a pair of
manicure scissors to
point-cut them just a
bit.” —JESSICA PELS,
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF“Keratin treatments!
I do only my bangs
to cut the styling time
in half and prevent
frizz. It lasts three
months and costs
$10 0.” —LAUREN
BALSAMO, SENIOR
BEAUTY EDITOR“I use a hair mist (like
Carol’s Daughter
Hair Milk Refresher
Spray, $12, ulta.com)
to add bounce when
my curly bangs fall
flat.”
—ISABEL CALKINS,
BEAUTY WRITER“I train my bangs to
stay in place with
flat clips that sit flush
against my head
while I get ready.”
—CARLY CARDEL-
LINO VACCARO,
BEAUTY DIRECTOR“Make yourself a dry
shampoo cocktail
to soak up oil—use
a powder formula
along your hairline
for volume and a
tinted one on the
rest.” —LBPRO TIP
The shorter
your bangs
are, the longer
they take to

they are, the
easier they
are to work
