Bangs often become an inseparable part of the image. It can complement the hairstyle, give a face severity or, conversely, beauty, and also hide skin defects: wrinkles, scars, redness. However, women who wear bangs know how difficult it is sometimes to pack. Below are several options for straightening it.
At home
Hair dryer
As the hair straightener can be the most common hair dryer that every woman has. Using a hair dryer is one of the most common ways to straighten bangs, as it is simple, fast and affordable.
However, you should follow a number of recommendations on the use of this equipment.
- Use a hair dryer is necessary only on clean hair. If you do not have time to wash the whole head, then try to gently wash only the bangs.
- Before straightening, treat the strands with mousse or foam. So hair will be less to push and longer form. In addition, after treatment with mousse strands will be more obedient during straightening.
- During the drying of the dryer, use a round brush. Comb the bang "inside". Thus it turns out the traditional version of straight bangs with inward-curved tips.
- It is better to use a brush with natural bristles. While the hair dryer is running, direct the air from the top down. It is recommended to use a narrowing nozzle. Forget about the possibility of turning on the diffuser. This mode threatens with the fact that the hair will just fly apart in all directions and it will be quite difficult to put it back into an even straight bang. The mode of "cold air" after laying will allow to fix the result.
To give bangs style and some boldness, use wax for styling. So the hair will look somewhat casually, which is now a fashion trend.
Iron
Women with curly hair are familiar with this tool. The device straightens the curls, and it can also be used to straighten the bangs. There are also several rules for this.

- If hair in a bang is already damaged, it is thin and liquid, then choose the minimum temperature for straightening.
- The whole procedure is performed on dry hair. If the strands are wet, then a hot tool can burn them.
- Before straightening, treat the bangs with gel, foam or mousse, separate a small strand a couple of centimeters wide, clamp it between the plates and walk along it with a flat iron a couple of times from top to bottom.
- At the end of the procedure, spray the bangs with hairspray to secure the result, but be careful: if you overdo the varnish, the bangs may lose their lightness and airiness, it will be sticky, dirty, a very unaesthetic effect of “icicles” is possible.
Keratin
Keratin straightening well is not only an excellent result in the form of smooth, straight strands - after this process, the hair becomes shiny, which looks very aesthetically pleasing and prestigious. Such shining hair can be seen in the video that advertises shampoo for hair.
Before the procedure, the curls are well washed with a deeply cleansing shampoo so that the molecules of the reducing agent can penetrate deep into the hair follicles. Next, the bangs are dried with a hairdryer, then keratin is applied, and the strands are again dried at an average temperature.
Then the bang is straightened with an iron at a temperature of 210–230 degrees. This stage will allow the tool to penetrate each hair and regenerate its damaged cells.Next, the hair is rinsed with warm running water. To fix the result, it is recommended to process the hair with a high-quality professional mask. The effect of this procedure is possible within ten weeks.
However, if a woman is not sure that she will be able to correctly perform all the steps, then it is better to contact the salon for professional help.
