How to achieve Bae Suzy’s curled bangs in K-drama Start-Up

Raise your hands if you’re obsessed with Bae Suzy’s airy curled bangs in the newest K-drama “Start-Up”.

The 26-year-old multi-hyphenate plays Seo Dal-mi, a young and ambitious first-time CEO of a tech startup in “Sandbo” (Korea’s Silicon Valley) caught in a love triangle with Nam Do-san (played by Nam Joo-hyuk) and Han Ji-pyeong (played by Kim Seon-ho). Suzy’s light and wispy bangs are perfect for fine Asian hair because it gives the illusion of height and volume in the rest of your hair.

But the thing about bangs is it’s not a wash-and-go hairstyle. You’re more likely to wake up with them awkwardly sticking out at all angles of your forehead. It takes time and effort to get perfect K-style bangs. Read on for some tips to help you achieve Suzy’s iconic hairdo.

Velcro rollers may seem a little old-school but they are the perfect solution to unruly bangs. Not to mention, the most low-maintenance way to fake a blowout. When your hair is still damp, take a small roller and place it under the roots, tucking the ends in to give it a slight curl. Take the curlers out by rolling them in a downward direction.

Another tip to prevent your bangs from getting limp and flat by noon: apply your hair styling product on the rest of your hair and only use what is left on your hands on your bangs.

Tip #7: Soak up excess oil with dry shampoo

If your complexion is on the oiler side, it’s likely that the excess sebum will transfer to your bangs. We recommend packing a little mini dry shampoo to stop your tresses from separating and to keep your bangs airy and voluminous throughout the day. For best results, hold the dry shampoo about 10 to 12 inches away from your scalp.
