You don't need to blow-dry and flat iron your bangs to make them look amazing. Instead, try this totally natural, damage-free technique that avoids heat and saves time.

Having bangs is both a blessing and a curse. While they’re undoubtedly super cute, the face-framing #lewk often requires a whole lot of work—and patience!—in order to get that wispy, carefree aesthetic. And, no matter your hair type or texture, a lot of that effort involves hot tools like a hairdryer or a flat-iron…or both. But there’s actually a simple way to get flawless bangs without all the heat damage.
To ensure your bangs don’t get totally dried out with split ends galore, just twist ’em. According to Byrdie, you can skip the hot tools and instead divide your wet bangs at your part, twisting them outward toward your ears the best you can then pushing those twists to either side. Next, go about your morning routine, making sure to avoid touching your hair. Once dry, your newly-trained bangs will fall nicely, naturally over your forehead.
To ensure your bangs don’t get totally dried out with split ends galore, just twist ’em and ditch the hot tools.
No matter your hair type or texture, the technique helps to guide your strands as they dry to prevent sections from jolting out in opposing directions. So, get ready to save time in the morning, improve the health of your hair in general, and look great doing it.
