Growing out your bangs? Here’s our N4 Stylist approved hacks on what to do with them

BONJOUR DAH-LING! What to do with all these quarantine bangs?! Sure, it was great fun chopping, experimenting and styling, but we’re moving on from those lockdowns, and so should your hair. Although these shorter, dangly, face irritants might seem completely useless now, you’re in luck because your hair is totally in style this season! That’s right, you can put down the scissors because you’ve officially begun 2022 with a BANG! Now is the time to embrace your hot hairstyle, and we’re here to help you along the way. N4 has rounded up some of the sexiest and sassiest, downright legit gorgeous ways to style your bangs as you grow them out. Here’s HOW.

Curtain Bangs

There couldn’t be a more gentle and elegant way of transforming your blunt bangs than by forming them into a pair of romantic curtain bangs. You’re going to want to split and wear them as a middle parting. We recommend using N4s Volumizing Shampoo and Condition before styling your curtain bangs. These products will give you a delightful long-lasting bounce, no matter your hair type. Washing your hair will help set it in its new parting when you use a little heat. As you dry your hair, it’s a good idea to use a boar bristle brush to give your roots a lift that will make your curtain bangs swoop. To refresh this voluminous look, simply use your hairdryer on dry hair the following day and apply N4s Non Aerosol Hair Spray for a lasting hold. They’re bangs with benefits baby!

Have a Side Part-y

Remember when we all went through the stage of having massively oversized side bangs? Our whole head pretty much would make up the entire fringe. It may be something we look back on and cringe, but side bangs are actually the perfect way to grow out your full bangs. Hear us out. This time, we’re going to skip the extreme volume and opt for a sleeker and more modern look. Like before, it’s always a good idea to start by washing your locks, this time with N4s Hydrating Shampoo and Condition. These will moisturize and rehydrate your thirsty hair, whilst giving the strands a beautiful shine that will work well with this oh so sleek and chic style. Just before drying, evenly coat your hair with N4s Smoothing Balm as this will help any unruly strands from rebelling against the change in parting. You can then adjust your hair parting, putting a heavy amount onto one side. Dry into place with a hair dryer and the shape will be set! Voila! You can even use N4s Sugar Texturizing Spray if you wish for a side parting but with beach-inspired waves.

Braid Them

Oh we do love a braid! Let’s be honest, the braid will never ever go out of style. It’s just about deciding what braid to do. Decisions, decisions! Right now baby braids are all the rage! And what better timing to try them out?! We say that because a baby braid is just a small plaited piece of hair, usually done with a small section. You simply just need to make a middle parting with your bangs and braid either side, and then secure with a hair tie. Finish with a light spritz of N4s Non Aerosol Hair Spray to ensure they stay in place, and you’re done dah-ling!

Pin It Up

We’re on to the hair accessories, and 2022 is definitely showing a fantastic roundup of clips, pins and sparkle! You really can’t go wrong with a couple of bobby pins, so we suggest choosing some that have some pretty jewels on them. Because after all, you’re all queens and you deserve some glitz as well as glamor! You can use N4s Firm Hold Gel if you struggle to keep your hair flat and sleek on your head, or if you’d like a lighter approach then maybe N4s Fluoro5 Elixer Restore & Repair Oil will be the perfect touch up.
