Well, I heard them young girls talking about something called volume bangs the other day. I didn’t know what it was at first. Sounds like some kind of newfangled thing to me. But you know, I got curious, so I listened in a bit.
How to Make Bangs Have More Volume
They were saying it’s about making your hair, the front bit, look all big and fluffy. Like a pillow or something. I used to have nice, thick hair, back in my day. Didn’t need no volume bangs, whatever those are. But I guess times have changed. Now they want their hair to look like it’s full of secrets or something.
So, the first thing you gotta do, they said, is wash your hair. Well, that’s just common sense, ain’t it? Can’t have dirty hair if you want it to look good. You gotta get all that grime and grease out. Use some soap, or shampoo, I think they call it.
- Wash your hair. Use some of that shampoo stuff.
- Get it all nice and wet. Like when you water the plants.
- Rinse it good. Don’t want no soap left in there.
Then, here’s the tricky part. They said something about a blow dryer. Now, I’ve seen those things. They blow hot air, right? Like a little wind machine. You gotta use that thing on your hair while it’s still wet. Point it at the bangs, those front bits of hair.
And get this, you gotta use a brush too. One of them round ones. You wrap your bangs around it, like you’re wrapping yarn around a stick. And then you move that blow dryer back and forth, back and forth. Like you’re sawing wood, but with air. I don’t know, sounds complicated to me. But I guess that’s how you get that volume they talk about.
Keep doing it until your bangs are dry, they said. But be careful! Don’t let that hot air stay in one spot too long. You’ll burn your hair, or worse, your head! Gotta keep that thing moving. It’s like cooking, you gotta keep stirring the pot so it doesn’t burn, you see?
Some Other Stuff About Bangs
Now, some girls, they got these bangs that are all messy. On purpose! They call it a “messy fringe”. I don’t get it. Why would you want your hair to look messy? But hey, to each their own, I suppose.
They say you don’t have to do all this blow dryer stuff every day with those messy bangs. Just let them be, I guess. It’s supposed to look “relaxed” and “effortless”. Like you just rolled out of bed. I always thought you were supposed to comb your hair in the morning, but what do I know?
And another thing they kept saying is, do it right away. They said you gotta blow out your bangs as soon as you get out of the shower. Don’t wait. Don’t let them dry on their own. I guess they’ll go flat or something. Gotta get that volume in there right away, while the hair is still wet.
Back in my day, we didn’t have all these fancy tools. We just used a comb and maybe some water. If we wanted our hair to be big, we’d tease it with a comb. Make it all frizzy. It wasn’t good for your hair, I’ll tell you that. But it did the trick. Nowadays, they got all these special products and tools.
Volume Bangs Is a Trend
But these volume bangs, it is just a trend. It will come and go. Just like them bell bottoms or them big shoulder pads. Everything comes back around eventually. So if you like these volume bangs, go for it. If you don’t, well, just wait a while. Something else will come along. That is just life, you know?
But hey, if you wanna try it, go ahead. Just be careful with that blow dryer. And don’t worry if it doesn’t look perfect. Just have fun with it. That’s what I always say. Life’s too short to worry about your hair, but if making your bangs big and bouncy makes you happy, then you do you, honey. You do you.
