Bang Bang Boogie

One of my very best girlfriends sent me an e-mail this morning with this in the subject line: I got bangs! This is a big deal for her; she has literally had the same long, straight hairstyle her whole life. Naturally, her husband hates them. She is understandably still adjusting to them and – in the spirit of all things beauty – I wanted to give all you bangin’ girls out there some tips for keeping them looking their best.

1. Before you get bangs, discuss options with your stylist. As always, bring in a picture of your ideal look. Bangs are hot right now, so pics will be easy to find.
2. When bangs look greasy – but the rest of your hair looks great – secure majority of your hair in a ponytail, and just wash the bangs. This is a great trick when you’re in a hurry…wait, when are you not?
3. No time to wash? Pull bangs straight up, spritz with a little hairspray, twist back into a poof and secure with a bobby pin. Very young-pop-star of you, but also chic.
