10 Quick Fixes For Unruly Bangs

The fringe is undeniably back again (I mean, just look at how chic Emma Watson looks these days), but they can be a lot of work to maintain. And in addition to everyday maintenance, sometimes you just really need to fix bangs on a totally bad hair day. And as any one rocking them will tell you, it's not as easy as throwing your hair into a ponytail. When you have bangs and fly-aways, you need to actually style these babies since they're front and center, right there on your forehead. Luckily, there are a ton of ways to make them look great even on your worst hair days.

It doesn't have to be a struggle, either, sometimes it's as easy as a little flyaway-smoothing styling cream or using a perfectly-sized round brush to blow them out. If styling products or heating tools just aren't working for you, a silk scarf is a statement piece that works great, too. Whether you just finished working out or you woke up with creases in your bangs, there's a solution. And don't freak out if your bangs are looking a little flat or oily today, these ten quick fixes have got you covered.
