Help! I want these bangs! (Pics inside)

[NuMe2004]

Can someone please tell me how I can get these bangs (as seen on Ashanti)...and make them stay put. I'd greatly appreciate it .

Thanks in advance!

There is only one picture and I don't see any bangs.

If you mean the style, start here (with slight variations of course):

Be careful with the teasing - backcombing can cause damage to your hair if done often.

I'm sorry, I should have been more clear. I consider them to be "lifted bangs," but I don't really know what you'd call it.

Oh, okay. I'm not sure how to make it stay though.

Thanks for sharing that . He gave her a slightly different look than what I'm going for, but I get the point.

You're right, all that teasing can't be good.

You don't have to go through all of that or add any hair. The hair you have on your head should suffice.

Here's a photo of one that I did recently:

In order to get that look I suggest you rollerset your hair for the "bump"/"hump"/"rooster" or whatever folks call it. (The curls from a rollerset really helps give the style much more body/fullness). Section your hair at the right temple back to where you want the bump to end and then curve the part until you reach the front of your left temple. Make sure both sides are centered properly. Next, you can either a.) comb or tease the roots to pull the hair up and simply pin the ends in the back, or b.) finger comb that section up and then back (covering the back part) and then secure the hair with booby pins.

There are so many techniques that you can use, but the hair on your head should be enough. Also, you may want to flat iron your hair if you want it as smooth as Ashanti's, however, in that case you hair will be flatter and your bump may not look as full. HTH.

I think that's called a bouffant.

Thanks to everyone for the tips !
