With the temps getting hotter every day, bangs can easily become a sweaty mess, especially when you’re trying to grow them out. If you’re in that awkward middle stage when you’ve got longish bangs that are tough to make work, read on for our hair-savers that’ll keep ‘em outta your eyes and off your face.

 

1. Pin ‘em back

Brush your bangs back towards the back of your head. To add volume, push them forward so that the bangs pouf up a li’l. Secure with a fun feathery peacock hair clip.

2. Twist ‘em

Whether you like to part your hair in the middle or wear it to the side, a great way to keep annoying bangs out of your eyes is to twist ‘em: Pull your bangs up, give them a twist and pin to one or both sides. For an extra style boost, add a jeweled bobby pin. Glam!

3. Braid ‘em

Braided bangs will turn your tresses super chic instantly! Try a fancy fishtail braid or just loosely weave ‘em down the side. Secure with bitty bobby pins and voilà! For extra fanciness, add a braided headband that’s close to your hair color.

4. Hide ‘em under a cute headband

You picked just the right time to grow out your bangs: Headbands are the must-have accessories this season. Try a feathered one, or pick one with a sweet side bow. For your biggest bash, add this gorge sequin headband to your collection:

MOD!
I cut my hair to my shoulders, and it came out so puffy! My hair is naturally curly and really hard to straighten. How can I style it so that it looks good? Are there any ways to make it grow faster?




Hey girl!

I hate when I end up cutting my hair shorter than i wanted :/ Look for smoothing serums that will help tame your hair. You can also experiment with fun hair clips to keep everything in place. Next time you're at the mall, stop my a hair care store and ask a stylist there for her pro advice. 




best of luck!

my mom won't let me thin my hair! i mean i have really thick hair even though when i was younger it was not too thick but thin enough where i could tolerate it. ever since my bro cut my hair (made it shorter/cut bangs) it became SO thick! before it was straight and average thickness, now it's really wavy and thick. i don't like it cuz i can never put it in a bun without it falling and it looks really weird when i put it in a side/regular ponytail. it also makes me really hot in the summer. I HATE IT! my mom says i'll like it thick when i'm older cuz i'll get thinner hair but i don't care!! how can i convince her to let me thin my hair?? THANKS! Smile

 

Hey girl!

I think your mom has a point. Thick hair is so great. Trust me, people who have thin hair wish for hair like yours. The key is to figure out how to style it in a way that you like. Maybe you need to try some new products like wave spray or cream for wavy/curly hair. Make sure you keep it super moisturized and conditioned. My advice? Don't thin it!

Two things:
1. I really want highlights,but im not allowed to get them done professionally,how can i get natraul highlights? My hair is a black/brown color.
2. I want to get an awesome BTS wardrobe. The only thing is I dont have enough money for a totally new wardrobe. I want to ditch everything in my closet, but as i said earlier, i dont have the money. Any ideas for a cheap, but amazing wardrobe?

 

Hey girl!  For highlights, time in the sun helps naturally lighten your hair, but be careful and wear sunscreen (on your scalp, too!).  For your BTS wardrobe, an easy way to get an amazing wardrobe is to get a few statement pieces and lots of piece that you can wear in different ways.  Try getting a solid colored maxi dress that you can wear with lots of different prints, accessories, and in a lot of ways.  If you get a few pieces you can wear in various ways, you'll be able to look like you got a whole new wardrobe. xoxo

What is the best brand of shampoo/conditioner to keep my hair soft and my ends from splitting? (my hair is dry if it helps)
THANK YOU!!!




Hey girlie,

Try using a leave-in conditioner on the ends of your hair. When you're done your shower, comb your hair to get out all the water drops. While it's still damp, apply the conditioner and comb it through. My fave is Garnier Fructis' Sleek & Shine Leave In Conditioner Cream Smile There are also plenty of dry hair shampoos/conditioners out there, so take a look at the labels the next time you're at a drugstore and pick one that you think will work for you! Your hair is unique so what works for us might not work for you - the best way to find your "best" products is by trying a few Smile
