Hairstyles to hide the bangs Especially when it starts to grow out and you don’t know what to do with it anymore

At the beginning of the year, it seemed like a brilliant idea: new look, new you, so you went for the bangs. It looked perfect in the salon. Then real life happened. Humidity, wind, oil that appears out of nowhere, and suddenly your freshly washed bangs go from Sabrina Carpenter to Lydia from Beetlejuice in seconds. Every morning, you find yourself wondering why you signed up for this unpaid daily commitment. Because as much as bangs give you a different, more charming and innocent vibe, they also require constant maintenance, something you really didn’t feel like dealing with. And when it’s like that, there’s only one solution: make them disappear. Luckily, it’s easier than you think. Here are 5 clever hairstyles to hide your growing bangs.

Hairstyles to hide your bangs while they grow out

A side part is always a good idea

The side part is the simplest trick and also one of the trendiest. By sweeping your hair to the side, your bangs blend into the lengths and magically stop looking like that awkward regrowth sticking in front of your face. Just use a bit of blow-drying and a round brush for direction, add a touch of gel to keep them in place, and if they rebel, clips do the job. You can style the rest of your hair however you like: updos, half-up styles, or loose waves.

How to create a 2000s pouf

@brookewiersig Trying to perfect my 2000s pouf I want it flatter but I’m figuring out how to do that #2000s #y2k #y2kstyle #hairstyling #hairtips Genie In a Bottle - Christina Aguilera

Word on the street is that the 2000s pouf is back, and honestly, it couldn’t have done us a bigger favor. Tease and slightly lift the bangs, then pin them back with a clip or a few bobby pins, and they disappear perfectly while integrating with the overall volume. The result is a super edgy, styled look without looking like a desperate attempt to hide your bangs.

A cute headband

@kendra.tt I also have a huge headband collection because I wear them so much these headbands from walmart tho are so cute! I have nothing like them! #headbandhairstyle #headbands #bangshairstyle #hairstyletips #walmartfashion Sweat and Hustle - The Brazilians of Bossa Nova

When you really don’t feel like using a blow dryer, brush, or gel, a headband becomes your best ally. Just place it across your forehead, tuck your bangs inside, and voilà: gone in a second. You can get creative here: choose a colorful, patterned, or textured headband, or go for a maxi one for a vintage Brigitte Bardot vibe. It’s the laziest, simplest trick, but it always works.

Pin your bangs behind your ears

@devonisabellla The long awaited slick bangs/hair headband tutorial. Sorry it took so long yall. @CHLO @Alexandra Mercier Ik yall weee both waiting for this #hairstyle #hairtutorial #bangs #slickback original sound - nxghtxcore.audios

If you don’t have a headband, you can always make one with your own hair. Sounds weird, but just grab sections from the sides, pull them behind your ears, and secure them with a bobby pin or a tiny elastic. Leave the rest of your hair free, slightly forward, and your bangs disappear in an instant.
