How do you feel about the world bringing back bangs? It’s a hairstyle that will always come in and out of style. Just last year we saw that boredom had bred a trend of cutting your own during lockdown.
A homemade trim might just be your worst nightmare, especially if you ever experienced a wonky cut after your mom convinced you it was easier than taking you to the hair salon.
Some of us haven’t had bangs since the early 2000s when we had just started school, it was the ultimate sweet ‘kid’ look that came paired with the innocent bob. But if you’re one for hopping on a trend, and we really rather must say it’s a HOT one to jump on, then let us introduce you to long bangs.
Why are long bangs making the cut?
We don’t know about you, but we can’t scroll through our TikTok or Instagram feeds without convincing ourselves we need long bangs. They’re grown out from the traditional short fringe, with a middle parting that you might know as Curtains.
Whilst a 16-year-old wouldn’t shy away from shouting ‘YOU’VE GOT CURTAINS’ about ten years ago, we can’t seem to find a trendy girl without them now. They add volume, whilst also achieving a sleek and shiny texture. You can put your hair up and style them, or wear your locks down and create a blowout look.
Dah-ling, we’re here to help you become the trendiest chic on the street. Add a little oomph to your hair and follow the following steps to learn how to style your bangs.
Go BANG with a Beautiful Blowout
Who said you can only achieve a blowout at the hair salon? Oh no dah-ling, when you’ve got N4 hair products you can achieve anything at home. With these products you don’t need to skip hair-wash day just to get the style to stick.
After washing your locks with N4s Volumizing Shampoo and Condition (for ultimate oomph), apply N4s Styling Foam to your damp hair. It’s the perfect product to give your hair a gentle but effective lift that it needs for the blowout. Make sure to start applying it at the top of your hair so you can volumize deep into the roots.
Use a boar bristle brush, and work on your long bangs by rolling your hair around the brush as if you’re using it to curl your hair. As you take the brush out of the strands, pop a hair roller in place, hairspray with N4s Mighty Hair Spray. Leave them in as you fix the rest of your hair to secure long-lasting volume.
As you take them out, comb in place, and bang!! You have ultimate volume from your long bangs. For a more in-depth blowout tutorial, read How to Refresh a Salon Blowout at Home.
Sugary Sea Waves for a Choppy Cut
One of the main reasons why we absolutely LOVE long bangs is because of the irresistible texture it gives your hair. Some people mix the look up with long layers, which pairs perfectly with beachy style waves.
The looseness combined with the different lengths of the strands gives the illusion of even longer hair than you have. You can easily achieve this look with a curling wand, however N4 has you heat-protected with the Sugar Texturizing Spray.
Spray evenly onto damp hair and dry using a diffuser. Your long bangs and layers are the main component to this style, touch up with N4 Sugar Texturizing Spray and you’re sorted!
Party in the Front, Business in the Back
You’ve got long bangs so show them off dahling! Never chop them and then decide to cover them up. You’re on trend, you’re looking gorgeous, you’re sophisticated…
Now, what’s one way to really show them off you may ask? We’re back to the classic pony, but this time keep the bits of your fringe down. Follow our top tips on how to master the perfect pony to begin.
There’s two ways you can go about this. You can follow the likes of influencer-sensation Molly Mae Hague who sweeps her long bangs over to one side, or you can keep it as a middle parting.
Whichever you decide, you are then going to grab a wide-barrel curling iron and wrap each part around to form an irresistible curl. There’s no need to brush it out as this single curl holds so much effect by itself. Finish off with N4s Mighty Hair Spray to keep your hair in place, and you’re ready to head out.

The smell was so amazing, had a great lather and made my hair feel incredible. Unfortunately, it made my scalp very oily and even caused me to break-out on my scalp and at my hairline. I have an oily scalp and was looking for a clarifying shampoo to help minimize my oil but this is sadly not the product for me; it seems more suited for dry, damaged and color-treated hair. I took one star off because it didn’t clarify but added moisture, another star deducted since it made me break-out and another star removed as the price is exorbitant, especially considering it doesn’t accomplish what it’s intended for.

By far the best shampoo I have used.

LOVE this shampoo!!! I cannot express this enough. I used to have to wash my hair every day due to dirt and oil collected at the scalp area. Since I’ve been using this product, I am not in that vicious cycle anymore! I can skip shampooing and thus treating my hair better!

Best shampoo I have ever used, and I have used a ton! This leaves my hair soft and shiny, and sometimes I don’t have to use a conditioner after I have used it because of how nourishing it is! Love this stuff and have the big bottle!

This is a fantastic product. I don’t love it quite as much as the hydrating shampoo, but it smells lovely and leaves my hair clean and soft.

This was is perfect for anyone who needs a deep clean. My hair is so weighed down by product after a few days and I was very pleased with how clean and livelier my hair was after using. Smells great too.

I am obsessed with the line, after a got a few samples from Birch box, I went out and bought a bunch of products, so I was estatic to get new (to me) samples this month from my birchbox. As expected they were amazing. Hair felt clean and not striped. Full of life and healthy. I followed with a few drops of their oil. I Love that they don’t have any crappy chemicals and most of, if not all of their products are vegan.

I got like three uses out of a sample packet for this shampoo and that’s impressive!
A little certainly goes a long, long way..(especially when you have rather short hair) But just like the other products i tried, this smells amazing!
It’s a different than most shampoo kind of smell in the best way possible. I felt like i was in some kind of high maitanence hollywood salon. My hair felt and looked wonderful, combated my frizziness due to overly curly hair. I just love this product!
Love all n4’s products (:
Amazing! –
Super rich lather, smells wonderful, and left my wavy hair shiny :). A little goes a very very long way, so start with a small amount and add more as necessary. Enjoy!

This shampoo is great! It smells nice and cleans and freshens my hair. Love this formula and that a little bit goes a long way.

This shampoo is my holy grail! I would be one frizzy headed girl without it. It smells so fresh and makes my hair unbelievably shiny!!!

I am so surprised that a clarifying shampoo can make my hair feel so silky. Normally my hair is “squeeky” clean after a clarifying shampoo. Not with this. It is very thick and I love the scent as well.
