How To Style Afro Bangs To Make a Statement
From the loosest of curls to the tightest of coils, there is an afro bangs hairstyle for you! Check them out in this style guide below!
1. Perm Rod Curly Bangs
Perm Rods are so effortless to achieve and are a great way to add definition to any afro hair texture. To achieve this look, wash your hair with a shampoo like Dove Amplified Textures Hydrating Cleanse Shampoo then slightly dry your hair. After, use a styling mousse like Bed Head by TIGI Foxy Curls Mousse. Then, roll in your perm rods.
After a few hours, or the morning after, when you take out your perm rods, pick out your curls. Don’t forget to part the front part of your afro into a bangs shape afterward.
2. Curtain Afro Bangs
Loving the look of afro bangs but not ready to have your hair in your face 24/7? Then try wearing curtain bangs. With curtain bangs, you split your bangs in half and have each half frame the sides of your face. To add an extra touch to your curtain bangs, try layering it for more definition at the front of your hair.
3. Fringe Afro Bangs
Afro bangs with fringes are another great way to wear your bangs if you want to avoid having too much hair on your face. To achieve this look, when parting your bangs grab less hair for the front of your hair. Then pick out your curls so that they are spread out.
4. Side-Swept 4C Afro Bangs
Go for a gorgeous retro 80’s inspired look with this side-swept bang! To create this look, part your afro in half horizontally with a little more hair in the back part. Then out the back part in a puff. Afterward, pin down the bang area down until you have your desired shape and size for your afro bang.
5. Raised Coily Afro Bangs
This raised afro bang is a great style to sport whether you have a smaller or larger afro. You can accomplish this hair look in the same steps as the side-swept afro bang. However, instead of pinning your hair sideways, pin it slightly back until you achieve your desired afro bang shape.
Also with this style, you do not need to part your afro in half. Instead part your hair closer to the front of your hair, and make sure you have way more hair in the back part of your hair as opposed to the front part of your hair.
6. Bob with Bangs

8. Round Afro Bangs

9. Layered Bangs
If you have a curly hair texture, and a longer afro, then this is the style you may want to consider trying. This look is so versatile to where you could either dress up your look glamorously or wear it if you are going for a more casual look.
