Curly Bangs: Cut and Style — Playbook #2

Curly Bangs: Cut and Style — Playbook #2. Here’s a field-tested path you can run for two or three wash days, then decide.

The core idea: fewer, better steps. Cleanse the scalp well, condition until slip, style on soaking-wet hair, then hands-off until dry.

Steps

1. Layer gel/foam; rake then scrunch
2. Cleanse the scalp; avoid roughing up lengths
3. Detangle with water + conditioner in sections
4. Apply leave-in on soaking-wet hair

Toolkit

• Deep conditioner/mask (monthly)
• Hard-hold gel or mousse for humidity
• Microfiber towel or T-shirt

“Hands-off until fully dry is half the battle.”

Example

For high humidity: leave-in + hard-hold gel, then hover-diffuse to 60% and finish with cup-and-hold. Don’t break the cast early.

Tools angle: choose diffusers by bowl and airflow, and brushes by flexibility and slip—comfort beats hype.

Common Mistakes

• Touching hair before fully dry
• Over-cleansing or never clarifying
• Skipping sleep protection
