okay lady help me out - how do you style your bangs? Mine have not been playing nice with me lately and I need help and you are my bang inspiration. xo

I’m flattered!

Mine have actually been giving me a bit of trouble this week, so maybe i’m not the right person to ask!

Anyway, since I dry my hair in sections, they are the last part of my routine. They are mostly dry by then, but I take the blow dryer above my head—pointing down at my bangs—and blast them for a couple of seconds in the direction I want them to be. (Explaining this is rulllll hard, so bear with me.)

Then I take my massive round brush, get right up under to the roots of my bangs and blow dry them UP and then down the side of my head, over my ears. That gives them a nice shape and a tad bit of volume so they’re not sticking to your forehead. If needed, I repeat that step. [To clarify, I hold the brush longways so that it’s parallel to my part.] Finally, I grab the bangs with my round brush from underneath and pull them down over my eyes just for good measure.

That probably made no sense. I can try to take a video of me doing it tonight if that would be of any help!
