Now You Know—20 Ways to Style Curly Hair With Bangs

For a more classic high meets low look, have bangs cut right at the arch of the brow, while leaving the sides long enough to hit the shoulders.

If you accidentally cut your hair too short or want to mix up the textures in your style, smooth out your curly bangs with a round brush and blow dryer combo.

Even with shorter hair, adding light layers, especially around the face—from the temple to the chin—allows the bang to take center stage.

Go for more drama by playing with angles. Have your stylist cut a more triangular shape along the sides to pair with a near micro-bang.

If your curls sprout in various lengths and coil structures, let them flow exactly how they fall. Odessa A’zion went more modern mullet here with longer spirals down the shoulder and short baby waves hugging her face.

One way to instantly add dimension to curly hair is with highlights. Chunkier stripes put bangs in the spotlight, and the color process may even stretch the curls slightly if you prefer a longer fringe.

Keep your length by skipping the layers and centering the cut just below the brows.

With incredible volume like this, use a mousse or non-crunchy gel to add some piecy definition to the bangs so they don’t get lost in the height.

Vibrant colors on big, bold curls go hand in hand.

Keep the definition focused on the fringe and lightly brush out the rest of the curls to easily add some contrast.

Consider face shape when choosing a curly bang. Tanzyn Crawford’s tapered face balances well under this more rounded curly cut.

Here's a well-defined, side-wept look that'll be easy to pull back when you don't want to wear a traditional bang.

Short on short plays nicely on smaller faces and makes the bang look less micro than it actually is.

If you’re not ready to commit to a bang, fake one by sweeping a curly updo forward to hang over the forehead.

Curly bangs are bold as is, but adding a fiery tone to your curls level up their boldness tenfold.

Instead of a slicked-back front, pair a long, curly ponytail with a matching crinkly bang, like The White Lotus’s Natasha Rothwell does here.

Keep the crown voluminous and let the baby hairs peek out by splitting your fringe down the center.

Or skip the edges and go for high definition, center-parted waves.

Try more of a day-two roller set look that’s fluffy and voluminous without needing tons of definition.

Sweep the back into a high pony as the front cascades over the forehead. Pull a few pieces out in the back to keep the style casual.
