How To Style A Wig With Bangs ?
Styling a wig with bangs can instantly transform your look — whether you’re going for sleek, playful, or natural vibes. Here’s a complete step-by-step guide with expert tips to help you style it beautifully and make it look natural. 👇
Step-by-Step: How to Style a Wig with Bangs
1. Prepare the Wig
-
Detangle first using a wide-tooth comb or wig brush, starting from the ends and working your way up.
-
Put the wig on a stand or mannequin head — it’s easier to style that way.
-
If it’s a human hair wig, lightly mist with water or a heat protectant spray before styling.
2. Put on the Wig Properly
-
Wear a wig cap to flatten your natural hair.
-
Adjust the wig straps for a snug but comfortable fit.
-
Align the bang area so it sits naturally above your brows or wherever you like it.
3. Trim the Bangs (If Needed)
✂️ Most wigs come with bangs slightly longer than necessary so you can customize them.
-
Use hair shears (not regular scissors).
-
Trim little by little, keeping your head upright.
-
For a soft, natural look, point-cut (cut vertically, not straight across).
-
If you want side-swept bangs, cut them diagonally and blow-dry them to one side.
4. Style the Bangs
Depending on the type of wig and your desired look:
Style Type | How to Do It | Works Best For |
---|---|---|
Blunt Bangs | Flat-iron straight, then lightly curve the ends under using a round brush. | Sleek bob or straight wigs |
Side-Swept Bangs | Blow-dry at an angle, then smooth with a flat iron toward one side. | Layered or wavy wigs |
Wispy / Curtain Bangs | Use a flat iron to flip ends slightly outward for that airy, feathery vibe. | Curly or body wave wigs |
Curly Bangs | Define curls using a small-barrel curling iron or flexi rods. Use mousse for hold. | Curly or afro wigs |
5. Blend and Finish
-
Use a wide-tooth comb to blend bangs with the rest of the wig.
-
Apply wig styling mousse or serum to smooth flyaways.
-
For human hair wigs, finish with a light mist of shine spray.
-
Check in natural light — adjust length or part if needed.
🌟 Bonus Tips for Natural Look
✅ Always cut bangs while wearing the wig, so the length fits your face.
✅ Avoid heavy oils — they can weigh bangs down or make them separate.
✅ Try heatless styling if it’s synthetic (no blow dryers or straighteners).
✅ If the bangs feel too thick, thin them gently with thinning shears.
