You can easily keep long bangs back using various methods, including styling techniques and hair accessories.

Keeping long bangs out of your face is simple and allows you to change up your look.

Methods for Keeping Long Bangs Back

When your bangs have grown out or you just want them off your face, several options are available.

Using Bobby Pins

A straightforward and effective way to secure long bangs is with bobby pins. As mentioned in the reference from the video "My Go-To Hairstyles For Grown Out Bangs," you can "use a bobby pin" to hold them back. This classic accessory is versatile and discreet.

  • How to use bobby pins:
    • Gather your bangs.
    • Twist them slightly or sweep them to the side.
    • Secure the section with one or more bobby pins, placing them strategically to hold the hair flat against your head.
    • For extra hold, insert the bobby pin with the ridged side facing down.

Braiding

Braiding your long bangs into your hairstyle is another stylish way to keep them back.

  • Techniques:
    • Side Braid: Part your bangs to the side and create a small French braid or standard braid incorporating the bangs along your hairline. Pin the end discretely behind your ear.
    • Headband Braid: Braid a section of your bangs or hair near your hairline and sweep it across your forehead like a natural headband, securing it on the other side.

Styling with Products

Hair products can help keep bangs smoothed back or to the side.

  • Products to use:
    • Hair Spray: A light mist can help hold bangs in place after styling them back or to the side.
    • Gel or Pomade: A small amount can slick bangs back or create a sleek side-swept look.
    • Texturizing Spray: Adds grip, making it easier to pin bangs or keep them styled to the side without slipping.

Using Headbands and Other Accessories

Accessories are a fashionable way to manage long bangs.

  • Accessory Options:
    • Headbands: A simple or decorative headband pushes all bangs back or holds them in place.
    • Scarves: A folded scarf worn as a headband adds color and keeps bangs secured.
    • Clips: Small or decorative hair clips can be used similarly to bobby pins but offer more visibility and style options.

By utilizing these methods, you can effectively keep long bangs back and enjoy different hairstyles.
