Keep your bangs in check this summer


 
Bangs are crazy cute—until the weather heats up and they’re just plain crazy. Here’s how to work with your hair to ensure it looks adorable all summer long.


Problem #1: Your bangs are leading to breakouts


Turns out, your hair gunk can sooo cause your skin to freak out. Not cool. For those of you with longer, side-swept bangs, it’s time to break out your fave headbands, an arsenal of bobby pins and stylish clips to keep those bangs out of your face. Summer is also a great time to experiment with new styles like pulling your bangs back in a side braid or twisting or pulling your bangs back into a small poof.


If you have shorter bangs, make sure to keep your forehead as grease free as possible by washing your face in the morning and evening. Try using oil-blotting sheets for a mid-day pick-me-up.


Problem #2: Your once-sleek bangs are now a frizzy mess


It’s all about the conditioner, girl. Make sure your hair is hydrated so that it doesn’t puff up. Blow your hair dry with an anti-frizz leave-in conditioner before straightening your bangs.

Problem #3: Your bangs get greasy


Finally, it might seem tough, but resist the urge to touch your bangs to pull them up out of your face. Constantly playing with your mane will just make the oil add up. Keep some dry shampoo handy to touch-up your strands and eliminate afternoon greasies.

My bangs don't really get greasy, they just get sweaty and they curl up. Any tips on keeping them dry?




Hey girl, hairspray is a great way to go! Spray them straight and carry a comb with you so you can adjust them throughout the day if they don't cooperate.

MOD!!MOD!!MOD!!MOD!! ok so i have layered hair and my hair always flips out. i use a straightner but its beginning to damage my hair. my hair is very stubborn so hair stuff doesnt work. is there any haircuts ar any better hair products i could use that wouldnt damage my and not flip out? thanks!

 

Hey girl!  When you do straighten your hair, you should use a heat protector spray to minimize damage (you can find it at the drugstore).  You could also use a round brush and blow dry it, although that still could cause some damage.  I did a quick search, but I'm not sure about styles.  You should bring up the sitch to your stylist the next time you go in for a cut.  He or she may know a way to cut it that reduces the prob.  xoxo
