Shape your bangs

Wrap your bangs around a velcro roller to give it a nice, curvy shape. The velcro roller will also help your bangs curve inwards.

Tease your hair

Get a section of hair from your hairline up to your crown. Tease this section by backcombing from mid-length to the roots to give your hair some volume. When you’re done teasing, gently smooth out your hair using a comb or your fingers.
