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.
