Curls and bangs look amazing together. So, we give you the best 20 curly hair with bangs hairstyles. But before that, here are a few tips:
How To Decide If You Want To Get Bangs?
- They take time and effort to style each morning.
- Need to be trimmed every 2-3 weeks
- Start with shaggy bangs if you’re unsure
- Aware of your hair texture
- Blunt bangs are high maintenance
- Wash the bangs regularly
Different Types Of Bangs
Blunt Bangs
These are thick front bangs that are cut in one length. These bangs look the best on oval and oblong faces. The best length for these bangs is about eyebrow length.
Tapered Bangs
These are bangs that vary in length. If you have front bangs, then they may be short at the center and gradually increase in length on the sides. They can also be choppy, like a mix of short and long.
Side-swept Bangs
Side-swept bangs are bangs that are swept from one side to the other side. They look amazing with short curly hair. If you are considering a pixie haircut, then try this hairstyle.
The side parting always takes weight from the side. If you have a round face or a heart-shaped face, then this is the style for you.
Side Bangs
These are bangs that loosely drop to the sides. They help in making the face appear slim. If you have a round face, then these are a good option for you.
Curly Bangs
While not many women go for curly bangs, they are incredible and the best way to show off curls. Curly bangs take the focus away from your face. If you have a broad forehead, or a round face, then consider these bangs. The coils make your face look slim and conceal the length of your forehead. These bangs look great on square faces as well.
How To Maintain Your Bangs
- Having curly bangs means having to be climate prepared.
- Use a tried and tested shampoo and conditioner that you know works well for you. Don’t change shampoos in between. You can check with a hairstylist on which shampoo and conditioner to use.
- Trim your bangs regularly.
- Watch your bangs when you moisturize your face. Make sure you don’t get any cream on your hair. The ingredients you use to moisturize your face might not be suitable for your hair.
How To Pick The Best Bangs For Curly Hair
The best way to decide what bangs you need is to see if they work with your face shape. If you aren’t sure what your face shape is, then here are a few pointers.
How To Measure Your Face
The first step towards selecting the right hairstyle is knowing your face shape. To know your face shape, measure the width of your jawline, cheeks, and forehead.
- Using a scale, first check the width of your forehead. Find the widest point of your forehead. For most people, it should be in the middle of the hairline and eyebrows.
- Then, check the width of your cheeks. It’s an ear to ear measurement beginning and ending at the points where your ears touch your face. That should be the widest dimension of your cheeks.
- Next, measure the widest points of your jawline.
- Finally, take the longitudinal measurement of your face, beginning at your hairline and ending at the tip of your chin.
Square Face
A square face is one where the jawline is square rather pointy or angular. If you have a square face, then keep your bangs straight and just below the eyebrows. Straight bangs, feathered in the center, create an even look and keep your face not too accentuated. You can also try heavy bangs that are eyebrow grazing in length.
Round Face
You need to take away from the width of your face to give it a slimmer look. Focus on accentuating your features.
If you have a round face, then go for an arching straight full fringe just below the eyebrows to balance the softness of your facial structure. Deep side bangs also work. Tapering bangs with a slight parting at the center also look good on round faces.
Heart Shaped Face
A heart-shaped face is the widest at the forehead and gradually narrows down to the chin.
Side-swept bangs tapering on the same sides look amazing on heart-shaped faces. Consider feathered shaggy bangs as well. Wispy bangs look incredible on heart-shaped faces.
Oval Face
An oval face is angular at the jawline. If you have a pointed jawline, then you have a diamond face. The thing about an oval face is that all fringes look great on it. So, take your pick!
It also depends on whether you have a high or short forehead. The way to check that is to see if your forehead is smaller than or bigger than your nose.
Long Face
If you have a long face, then short bangs are a no-no as they will enhance your forehead. Try long bangs that are either full center or side-swept, and we promise it will look amazing.
Short Forehead
If you have a short forehead, then consider a sloped fringe that is longer on one side. It’s a deep side-swept fringe that makes your forehead appear larger than it is.
High Foreheads
If you have a high forehead, then full side-swept bangs is the way to go. Let the bangs be near the eyebrow and taper as they reach the sides of your face.
How To Cut Your Bangs
Things To Keep In Mind
- Curly hair should never be cut wet.
- Re-wet the hair to let it dry.
- Do not stretch your hair
Things You Will Need
For Straight Bangs
If you want a full center bang, take the front portion of your hair, using a rat tail comb, in the shape of a triangle and cut it evenly. If you want your fringe tapered, then cut it just below your eyebrows and keep making it long as it reaches your ears.
For Straight Side Bangs
The way to take the side parting right is to make sure it’s aligned with your eyebrow. That way when you cut your hair, it’s appropriately cut and not messy and all over the place. Once you’ve made the parting, begin cutting the rest of the fringes a little longer, giving it a tapered look.
For Curly Bangs
Part off the section of hair that you will use to make your bangs and let it fall on your face. Clip off the rest of your hair. Comb the hair, making sure to remove any tangles. Keeping your eye as the reference, cut your hair upwards and outwards. You won’t be able to cut your hair altogether so use the part that you cut as a reference for the rest.

Maintenance For Curly Hair
Curly hair needs more moisture. Your body secretes a natural oil from the scalp to help moisturize your hair. For straight hair, it is easy for the oil to spread all over the strands. But it’s not the same for curly hair. Due to the shape of the coils, the ends of the hair don’t get enough oil. The same goes for when you condition your hair.
- Stop using heat styling methods. Heat will damage your hair. Also, if you keep straightening your hair, you will lose your curls eventually.
- Use leave-in conditioner from time to time. Organic leave-in conditioners moisturize the hair and keep it protected.
- When cutting your hair, don’t keep it wet, cut it dry and natural. Don’t stretch your curls too much.
- Apply gel on your hair if you have thick curly hair. The gel will spread better on your curls than a mousse.
- Try curling your hair without heat. While using rollers, apply a curl defining or curl enhancing cream. They also act as a leave-in conditioner. Coat your hair thoroughly but apply a thin sheet of cream.
- If you decide to style your hair using heat methods, then use heat protectants. Spray a good amount of heat protectant on your hair before you style it.
- While using a towel, do not rub it across your hair. This leads to hair breakage. Pat dry your hair. Use microfiber or cotton towels preferably.
- When blow drying your hair, use a diffuser. It spreads the hot air evenly through your head.
