Over the decades, the way bangs are worn kept on changing, but now, baby bangs are back! And they are here to stay this 2019.

If you’re planning to get a new look soon, why don’t you give baby bangs a try? You can get it along with a fresh haircut. Call your stylist now, book an appointment, and get ready to wear baby bangs for short hair.

1. Befriend the blow dryer

You can’t let your bangs dry on their own, especially baby bangs. You wouldn’t want them to curl and point to different directions, would you? When you step out of the shower, spray heat protectant on your bangs and blow dry them down and straight. Then, comb your fringe with a tail comb or fine-toothed comb for a sleek, clean finish.

2. Go for regular trims

This is true for all types of bangs and more so for baby bangs. Schedule a trip to the salon to have your fringe trimmed every two or three weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows. Ideally, the tip of your baby bangs should be of equal distance from your hairline and your eyebrows, as if dividing your forehead in half. Don’t ever, EVER attempt to trim your bangs on your own; trust us, this could lead to a hair disaster.

3. Don’t forget the rest of your hair

Baby bangs are high maintenance, and styling them can take up time and energy. However, don’t let this make you neglect the rest of your hair. It needs to get regular trims, too, so your short hair keeps to its shape. Also, make sure that your hair is free from frizz and damage. You may have the hottest bangs in the world, but if your hair is damaged, your fringe can’t save your look.
