While both of these vintage-inspired styles can help to frame the face, each offers its own unique look.

On thicker hair, they can break up some of that weight the front may carry.

Straight, wavy, curlythey all work, youll just end up with slightly different looks.

Spino suggests doing your research before going for the big chop.

Be sure to look for pictures of waterfall bangs on people with hair texture and style similar to yours.

Remember: The more inspo pictures you could bring, the better.

With that said, here’s how you may want to style waterfall bangs depending on your hair texture.

Thin Hair

For thin hair, style with the intent of adding volume.

“Style with a round brush or Velcro rollers,” Spino says.

“This will add volume.

This will smooth them down just enough to showcase the texture in the bangs.”

Let them fall naturally, framing the front of the face.

“Forcurly hair, we have options,” says Spino.

The other option would be to blow them out for a smoother style."

Instead, let them fall naturally, in whatever form the waves take.

However, for frizzy hair, apply some product.

“I love waterfall bangs wavy,” Spino says.

“I would use an anti-frizz product to enhance the wave and simply air dry.
