Thin to thick fringe ideas

How to style wispy bangs

Wispy bangs are soft, fun and totally eye-catching. Whether you’re feeling the micro wispies or longer lengths, they keep things light and breezy. With less hair than a full-on fringe, your forehead still gets its moment to shine, while those wisps add all the dreamy movement and airiness you could ever wish for.

Using a hair straightener to create movement in your fringe

A flat iron can be your wispy bangs’ best friend. Use it to add a subtle curve to your bangs, but be careful not to overdo it. You are going for a gently tousled look – not board straight.

Pro tip: Work in small sections, and always start with low heat.

Master the art of the blow dryer

To achieve the effortless “I woke up like this” vibe with your wispy bangs, you’ll need to bring you’re A game when blow drying. This isn’t just a rough dry – most fringes require styling, so pay attention to your technique!

Blow dry your bangs while they are damp, using a round brush to lift them at the roots. For that piecey look we all know and love, twist the brush slightly as you go. You are aiming for the ethereal goddess look.

Pro tip: Use a bit of mousse or volumising spray before you start. Just a smidge though!

Wispy fringes aren’t meant to be perfect – let them do their thing

The beauty of wispy bangs is in their imperfection. Don’t stress out if a few pieces don’t want to fall just right, that’s part of the look. Let them do their thing and embrace the messy, carefree vibe.

Pro tip: Use your fingers to separate and fluff the bangs throughout the day.
