Mini Bangs Are Back

Explore the resurgence of mini bangs for a bold, modern look. Learn styling tips for sleek, textured, curly, and side-swept micro bangs.

Article 1

Bangs are strands of hair cut to cover the forehead in various lengths and styles. Mini bangs, also known as baby bangs, are a shorter version of bangs that sit just above the eyebrows and fall 1-2 inches below the hairline. Popularized in the late 50s and early 60s, these edgy bangs have become the newest sensation.   

Known in the UK and other parts of the world as "the fringe", mini bangs add a bold touch to any hairstyle. From sleek and blunt to wispy, textured, or curly, these bangs are a great way to highlight facial features and add a fresh modern look. 


Mini Bangs: The Bold Trend Making a Comeback

When styling micro bangs, start with clean, smooth hair. Cleanse and condition with lightweight, smoothing products like [Herbal Essences, Jojoba Oil Sulfate Free Smoothing Air Dry Shampoo](https://herbalessences.com/en-us/our-products/jojoba-oil-sulfate-free-smoothing-air-dry-shampoo/), __and__ [Jojoba Oil Sulfate Free Smoothing Air Dry Conditioner](https://herbalessences.com/en-us/our-products/jojoba-oil-sulfate-free-smoothing-air-dry-conditioner/) that help tame frizz and make hair silkier. Gently dry your hair with a microfiber towel to keep frizz and flyaways at bay, then apply a heat protectant, such as __Pantene Pro-V Heat Primer__, to protect your short locks from heat damage. Blow-dry your bangs downward using a round brush, or small paddle brush to help lay the hair flat for a polished, salon-worthy finish.

How to style microbangs.

After your hair completely dries, use a mini flat iron to press and smooth your baby bang. Work in small sections to flatten to perfection. Apply [Mielle, Mango & Tulsi Nourishing Instant 3-IN-1 Serum](https://mielleorganics.com/products/mango-tulsi-nourishing-instant-3-in-1-serum) throughout the hair to add shine and keep flyaways in check. For extra hold, lightly mist baby bangs with a flexible-hold hairspray like [Aussie, Mega Flexible Hair Spray](https://www.aussie.com/en-us/mega-hair-spray) to keep them in place, but soft and touchable without a stiff or crunchy feel. 

Rock sleek, straight micro bangs

For a light, playful effect, apply a texturizing product like __Pantene, Natural Waves, Texturizing Salt Spray__ to dry hair to add definition without crunch for a soft finish. Spray small sections of your microbangs and tousle them with your fingers to give them an effortless look that complements messy buns, waves, or pixie cuts. Avoid heavy products that weigh hair down. Finish with a quick shot of hairspray to maintain the shape and hold style.

Try textured or wispy micro bangs.

Want to give your micro bangs a classic, vintage-inspired look? Curl them under. Apply __Pantene, Miracle Rescue 10-in-1 Multitasking Spray + Keratin__ to protect, smooth frizz, strengthen, and add shine. Blow dry on low heat and use a round brush to shape your bangs brushing toward your forehead. Add a pump of light-hold hairspray to set your style without stiffness to achieve a flawless finish.

Micro bangs create super cute looks, but on days when you don’t feel like styling them or you want a change, pin or clip them back. Use decorative pins, clips, or barrettes to pin your bangs back for a quick change. It’s a fun, low-maintenance option for lazy hair days, workouts, or when you’re showcasing a statement makeup look. Add a touch of [Aussie, Instant Freeze Gel](https://www.aussie.com/en-us/instant-freeze-gel) to keep them in place for up to 20 hours.

Pinned back or clipped

Micro bangs aren’t meant for just straight hair, naturally curly or textured hair micro bangs are a thing too. Apply a moisturizing, curl-defining product like [Mielle, Pomegranate & Honey Twisting Soufflé](https://mielleorganics.com/products/pomegranate-honey-twisting-souffle) or a leave-in conditioner to hydrate and style your bangs. Natural micro bangs create a fresh, soft look that is full of movement and volume. Finger coil individual curls to add more definition or scrunch for a carefree vibe. Give your curly styles an urban chic vibe. 

Curly or natural micro bangs

If you need an effortless but cute look, side-sweep your micro bangs when they begin to grow out. Side-sweeping bangs add movement and sophistication to your style. Apply a lightweight pomade like [Mielle, Mongongo Oil Pomade-to-Oil Treatment](https://mielleorganics.com/products/pomade-to-oil-treatment) to help tame frizz and create soft, sleek styles with high shine. Comb your bangs to one side and lock them into place for a sleek, edgy look. 

Micro bangs can add a fresh, modern pop to almost any hairstyle. With the right product and cut you can easily pull off this bold, trendy look.
