Lay it flat

If you have any type of forward fringe, it is probably one place you are not looking for volume. Flat laying fringe can be hard to come by, but it makes a fabulous statement when achieved. Though I am sure someday it will be back, because all styles seem to return somehow,but for now the poof and tube bangs aren't usually the goal of today's women. Here is a quick tip on getting that smooth, tamed bang look.

When you hair is really wet, before you do anything else, blow dry your bangs. Get a comb, hold the dryer above your head with the nozzle down, and direct the dryer down while combing the hair straight constantly. If you have any cowlicks, blow dry and comb them opposite of the way they want to fall. This technique will eliminate any curl or band in the fringe, hopefully eliminating the need to flat iron. It also works when fighting cowlicks along the front hairline for any reason.

If you have a longer swoop bang, try blow drying it to the opposite side of how it lays then pulling them back to the correct side after they are dry. This will give them a bit of shape and life. This only works however, if you have no cowlicks and a longer fringe.

Overall, I always recommend blow drying your fringe first, as soon as you get out of the shower. This will really help tackle the issues of cowlicks the unwanted popup. Fringe responds best to blow drying rather than flat ironing or curling. Check out posts starting here for more details on all type of fringe.
