It wasn’t very hard to notice that curtain bangs have been one of the trendiest hairstyles these past months—they dominated every social media feed. It seems they are here to stay and are even getting upgraded. Say hello to wafty bangs—a fuller, airier, and more dramatic version of curtain bangs.
The waft fringe is defined by its length—it is long and grown out with a shorter inner center, graduating downwards at the side of the face. It’s an unfussy hairstyle that lends itself perfectly to the ever-popular French girl aesthetic. While wafty bangs don’t require much effort to pull off, there is definitely an art to achieving all that fluffiness and volume.
The easiest way to amp up your bangs, according to hairstylists, is to use a rolling motion in conjunction with a large round brush and a hairdryer, or a hot brush. To make sure your hair stays in shape after you style it, use a thickening and lifting spray, which will add volume without your bangs turning crisp. To finish, most mediums hold hair spray or even dry shampoo. Keep scrolling for some witty bangs inspiration.
