Hairstyles to Cover Up Badly-Cut Bangs
Badly-cut bangs is a misfortune you have to tolerate. Hair doesn't grow instantly and trying to fix them with a new haircut can make matters even worse. However, this does not mean you have to remain indoors until your next haircut. Certain hairstyles can help you hide disproportionately short bangs and restore your confidence. Does this Spark an idea?

Pull Bangs Back
-
The most practical way to hide your badly-cut bangs is to remove all of your bangs from your forehead. Use gel or mousse on your bangs and comb them back. Put a headband over the bangs to hold down the hair and prevent short bangs from standing upright, ruining your cover. This hairstyle is also your only option when bangs are too badly cut to try blending them in a side sweep or spike bangs.
Side Sweep
-
Check whether the bangs are longer on the right or left side of your forehead. Starting from the side with the longest side, sweep the bangs across your forehead. Some mousse can help you keep the side sweep intact. This hairstyle allows you to blend short bangs with those of ordinary length, effectively hiding them. It is not a bold hairstyle, making it a suitable choice for business or casual social occasions.

Spike Bangs
-
Spike bangs work exactly like the side sweep: you blend short bangs with those of ordinary length to try and hide them. After the shower, blow dry your bangs. While using the blow dryer, separate the bangs into sections with your fingers. When your hair is dry, put some hair gel in your fingers and apply it on your bangs sections with smooth downwards strokes.
Clip-In Bangs
-
When the bangs are so badly cut you cannot blend them, but you don't want to pull them back, the only option left is to use clip-in bangs. You can use clip-in bangs exactly like hair extensions. Before clipping them on your hair, you must part your hair in the middle. Pulling your natural bangs back will add volume over the forehead and make your clip-in bangs look unnatural. Snap in the extension to complete the hairstyle.
