You can either do it by a hairdryer or by a curling iron, up to your comfort. However, it is most important to do it on 80% dry hair if with a blower and on 100% dry hair if with a curling iron.
Our tips to you are to always style the hair outwards to have that flowy look. Therefore ;
- Hold the brush vertically straight
- Curl your hair with it
- Twist and blow holding the blower in front
Never on the other hand hold the brush horizontally straight and blow from the top, as this will create a different look. Curtain bangs are mostly known to be styled and more stylish if styled with a bit of curl also known as a movement.

Being completely honest with you here, this is best done on damp hair. Moreover either do it right away when you’ve just washed your hair or spray damp your hair with lots of leave-in conditioners. Whichever way you are going it is always best to spray some leave-in conditioner to your hair even when you are not applying any heat to your hair. however, funnily enough, you will probably need it more to help you with moisture and frizz yet it will not flat out your hair. For this, we are linking to you our favorite leave-in hair conditioner for this method. We find it best for the summer days because it has 12 effects, which is incredible.
Leave it up to dry for about 30 minutes or an hour if you want to be extra safe. Unpin the clips and remove the roller/s when done. It is up to you if you want to use one or two rollers, whatever works for you best. Both will have good results as long as they are done upwards. Finish the look with some flexible hairspray for a bit of hold and you are good to flaunt your bangs. 💁

We recommend flexible hairspray for that flexible none stiff look. As curtain bangs are meant to flow and look natural not solid as a rock.
