How to Style Curly Bangs (Without Cutting Your Hair)
By Devri Velazquez · Updated December 8, 2015

This easy tutorial will help you create the look of full and defined curly bangs in a few easy steps!

If you do not already have bangs, you can create the illusion of bangs by tying up the rest of your hair in a high bun and leaving out the front section, just like YouTuber Issavia did below. Your hair will need to be a similar length to Issavia’s in order for this to work.

If you already have curly bangs and you just don’t know how to style them, then follow the same steps for a defined look that lasts days.

1. Decide how much hair you want in front of your face. Put the rest of your hair up away into a high ponytail or bun.

2. Part your hair and start flat twisting that front section on thoroughly detangled hair that is about 60% dry.

3. Issavia suggests detangling, then added a styling mousse with a shea butter mix for hold and definition of each flat twist.

4. Make your bun as sleek and as high as possible. For an even bigger bun, use Marley hair.

5. On the “cool” setting, use a blow dryer to speed up the drying process of your flat twists.

6. Using coconut oil, carefully unravel each flat twist in order to prevent frizz from happening.

Now you have natural looking faux bangs, no scissors necessary.
