Hair fix: no more flat bangs

next
The Master

bangs48

I don’t know what the humidity level is at where you live, but it’s pretty darn high here in North Carolina. And while some people struggle with frizziness or curls in humidity, my hair melts. It goes limp and lifeless with a quickness. So, I managed to time filming this video tutorial on a really humid day, which was perfect to show you how to keep your bangs up off your face even in rough climates.

I share really simple concepts for full, swoopy bangs in this tutorial and I hope it helps you style your own bangs well!

Kate, You have no idea how refreshing your tutorials are. It’s amazing that a couple little tips can make such a big difference. I have had those “growing out” and “annoying fall in front of my face bangs” for quite some time. Thank you, thank you. Bless you and your little family <3

Thank you sooo much!!! I recently grew my bangs out and they happen to be about your length. I JUST said to my daughter yesterday, I don’t think this length bang is going to work for me this summer with the humidity as yesterday was our first taste of it in the Northeast and they were falling in my face. Thank you, thank you for posting this tutorial!!! Literally, when you first started your “quick fix series” I said to myself, “Oh! I hope she does a tutorial for just this situation with bangs!” And you did!! 🙂

You’re so clever! Thanks for the two-finger tip, the hair under my bangs always gives me the most trouble. Love this series!

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I tried it out this morning, and ta-da! The little secret to spray your fingers is simple but perfect and works amazingly well. Exactly what my bangs needed for the summer and honestly every other season 🙂

Thank you for this tutorial. It is very helpful. I wasn’t able to find a gallery you have mentioned in your vlog, so could you please help me to locate it?

This is great, and I’m excited to try it when I style my hair tomorrow. My bangs are shorter swooped bangs right now, and I am CONSTANTLY trying to keep them from splitting. Advice for this?

Looks great! I can see myself in a mirror where I sit at work (soooo like right now) and i’m always messing with my hair to get it to be less flat – I will try this ASAP.

Hi, I was wondering if you might be willing to provide some frizz-free tips or summer styles for those of us thick wavy or curly chair. From this time of year through the end of September (I live in D.C.) my hair is pulled into a low pony tail–I try to give it some height and make it polished looking and I have been trying your tutorials (great resource!). I was thinking that perhaps the products I am using or how and when I am using them might help allow me to wear my hair naturally, rather than the blow-dry and flat ironing I do during the winter. I am a mom to a 2-year old girl and am new to your blog! Thank you, its great!

Reply
Jean says · 05.12.14

I’d like to see this also. My hair is very wavy. I’d love not to straighten it with a dryer in the summer, It’s nothing but frizz if I don’t.

Kate, you are so sweet in your videos, and very helpful! Thanks for these tricks for a girl who is LOST in this world without her bangs! 🙂

Thank you so much! The tips were great and I can’t wait to try hairspray on your fingertips!! Genius, I never heard of that or would have thought of it, I love, love that kind of thing!! Thanks!!

I love love love your blog! But, I am not able to read it on my phone very easily anymore. I am a mommy of 2 and don’t always have time to look at it on a computer or iPad. Can this be fixed? Thanks!!! I especially love your videos!!!

Joanne says · 05.12.14

I love your website/blog. I look forward to it each day. I have extremely course, dry, hair. Humidity and flat ironing makes it worse. I have tried many products to help protect my hair and make it softer and smoother but not much seems to really work. Do you have any suggestions on how to make my hair softer, especially when I want to curl it? Thanks!

Katie @ Cup of Tea Blog says · 05.12.14

Agreeing with a few of the previous comments on the 2 finger trick! I actually slapped my head and said “Duh” out loud (aka DOL). I touch my hair a lot, which makes it flat and limp, so making sure those front pieces don’t touch my face is key! Great video. Love this series!

Kate says · 05.12.14

lets make “DOL” a thing 🙂

This tutorial came at the perfect time as I just had my hair cut and was complaining to my hairdresser about how my front pieces always just hang! I’ll definitely try this…although I will say that I have a widow’s peak and it is causing one piece of hair to be very unruly!

What an AWESOME trick! I’ve been growing my bangs out the past few months and now with Summer coming (and crazy humidity here in Wisconsin) I was worried about what to do with my bangs. Can’t wait to try this out!

Love the tips, especially the 2 finger hairspray one. Quick question, why do you call them bangs? I’m from Australia & we call it our fringe.

Could you do a post on scalp health? I have this awful bad habit of picking my scalp until there are scabs. So gross. I’ve heard Tea Tree Oil helps but I feel like that’s so 2003. Any other suggestions??

I am that obnoxious lady that spends all day pushing her bangs out of her face. And I always knew hairspray would be the key. I just couldn’t figure out how to get the underside of my bangs without ruining all the work I had put in to styling my bangs or making them look “shellacked”. Thanks for the awesome tip!!

Sarah @ Seriously Lovely says · 05.13.14

I love the last tip for getting hairspray on the underside of the bangs. Those little hairs tickling my forehead always drive me crazy. Can’t wait to try this!

I’ve been meaning to take a better peek at your blog for awhile + after attempting an updo of my own yesterday, I thought ‘I totally need to go see if I can manage any of Kate’s tutorials!’ We’ll see. I’ll keep you posted.

THIS tip though — I’m so glad I found it. My bangs get gross in ALL weather. I actually chopped some off the other day because they were bugging me. [Sheepish look…] Yes, I took the scissors to them myself. Eek. I *think* they’re not too bad though. With this tip, tomorrow I’m gonna try to make them amazing. 🙂

Believe it or not, even in the UK we’re prone to high humidity summers – this one’s been horrendous. I’ve seen a big surge in clients trying to beat the frizz; they wake up in the morning, do their hair and by lunchtime they’ve gone all labradoodle!
