Bangs never go out of style. It always seems a good idea to get them, right? They can make you look classic and chic at the same time, no matter what the current trend is. But unfortunately, we can't all be like K-pop idol Lisa of Blackpink, whose bangs stay in place even when she's doing the craziest choreography: Yours get windblown and cowlicky; they don't tend to behave.
It's super annoying to always have to mind your bangs when you're at work or hanging out with friends. But... there's hope, yet: There are tricks and tips you can do to keep your bangs in check, no matter what.

Blow dry them right away
The first rule of having amazing bangs: DO NOT LET THEM AIR DRY. Start the styling process right after you get out of the shower. If you let your bangs dry naturally, they have an annoying tendency to go haywire. To train your bangs according to the style you want, blow dry them.

Use a small round brush for volume
While blow-drying your bangs, use a small round brush to add extra volume. This keeps them from laying flat on your forehead and gives them a livelier look. Hold the hairdryer facing down over your head and brush your bangs to your desired direction.

Use anti-humidity hairspray
Finally, keep your bangs in place by using an anti-humidity hairspray. This will help prevent frizz and separation caused by humidity. Don't use too much, though — it could cause your hair to clump together.

Use a mini flat iron
If your bangs are extra frizzy, you may smooth them with a small flat iron. Opt for a slimmer and smaller flat iron so that you can go all the way up to the roots.
