How to Maintain Straight Hair With Bangs

Straight hair is a classic look that has an elegant feel.

With the evolution of using your mother's iron and ironing board to a handheld straightening iron, creating straight hair has never been more simple. From bangs to waves that reach down your back, an entire head of hair can be straightened easily. However, maintaining this look throughout the day can be slightly challenging, especially if hair tends to be naturally curly. With a few tips and tricks done in the morning, your hair will still be straight and beautiful in the evening.

Things You'll Need

• Hair-straightening serum and protector
• Hair clips
• Comb
• Hair straightening iron
• Extra-strength hairspray

Instructions

1. Rub a pea-size amount of the hair-straightening serum between your hands. Brush it throughout your head of hair, combing it in with your fingers. Also brush it over your bangs.

2. Clip up most of your hair except for 1 inch left around the bottom. Comb it out so there are no tangles and straighten it in 1-inch pieces.

3. Let down another 1-inch layer from the clip and straighten it as well. Repeat this around the hair until the entire head has been straightened. One major means of maintaining straight hair throughout the day is straightening it properly initially.

4. Comb down your bangs over your forehead, ensuring they are not off to one side or another. Straighten them as well, combing them out afterward to ensure that they cool straight.

5. Spray your hair and bangs with a light mist of the hairspray. Use the palms of your hands to pat down any flyaways and smooth over the entire head.

Tips & Warnings

• Heat a matte paste between your hands and gently comb it through your bangs for a chunky look.
