Tips for making fake bangs
Using staples
First comb your hair and part it in the middle. This works with almost all hair lengths, but the longer the better. If you want side bangs, part your hair sideways.
Then, take a section from the front on the left side of your hair. Two to three fingers thick, continuing the hairline, it should go from the middle of the forehead to the left temple. After that, put the rest of your hair back.
Mark the place where you want the false bangs to end. Mainly holding the strand in front of your face, mark where you want it to end with your fingers. Take a clip and mark it in the chosen place. Short bangs work best with this method, as long as they are eyebrow-length.
Then, curl the hair underneath the clip. Keep the part above her and vertical, while it is horizontal below, then roll it inwards towards her face. Remove the clip from the strand and secure it with a clip behind your ear. Repeat the process on the other side of the hair.
Then just arrange the rest of your hair, letting it fall over the trapped strands. Straighten your bangs with your fingers to make them look more natural.
Using coke
Your hair needs to be long enough to create a high ponytail, as it will need to be pulled forward so that it covers your forehead. It’s ideal if you do this so that the ends of your hair extend past your eyebrows a little, so you can style them however you see fit.
If your hair is curly or wavy, straighten it first. However, the length of the hair has to be a little past the shoulders to be ideal.
Take all the hair and use an elastic band, keeping the hairstyle secure. Then separate some of the hair formed by the ponytail and throw it over your forehead. To attach the fake bangs, place a clip on each side, so that it is attached to the head. If you prefer, add another elastic band to the ponytail for more security.
Therefore, make a bun with the rest of the ponytail. To make a simpler bun, just twist the ponytail and wrap it around the base, securing it with a clip.
Using a hat
If your hair is long enough to cover your forehead when tied up, you can do this method. First, make a half ponytail, running your thumb through the hair at eyebrow height, securing the top half with a small elastic.
Then, throw the tail over your head, arranging it so that the ends are in a natural shape. Don’t worry if your hair gets messy.
In order to spread the bangs so that they fall on the forehead in a triangular shape. It has to be wider above the eyebrows, and narrower on the sides. Do this by placing staples, one on each side. Run a comb through your bangs and arrange them however you see fit.
Finally, put on a loose-fitting beanie-style hat, covering your entire head except for the fake bangs. This way the ponytail is hidden, while the long hair is left loose. Don’t wear anything tight on your head, as it can hurt and give an artificial effect.
