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

Your bangs dry faster than you think and once it starts to get air-dry, it will already start to set into its natural shape. You’ll get the best results if you start blowing out your bangs the moment you step out of the shower.

With your fingers and a hair dryer (with the nozzle attached), finger-comb your bangs from side to side until it’s almost fully dry. Finish by rolling the ends under with a small boar-bristle brush. As a rule of thumb, always angle your hair dryer downwards to smooth the cuticle.

Split your bangs into three sections – two on the side and one in the middle. Next, grab a straightener and gently curl the hair inwards towards the forehead. For the pieces of hair framing the face, smooth them outwards with the straightener to tame frizz and seal the shape.

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.

To prevent your bangs from getting greasy midday, mattify your forehead with powder and fill in your brows with a powder-based product.

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.

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.
