Cut Your Bangs Too Short? Proven Fixes to Make Them Look Longer

Cut Your Bangs Too Short? Proven Fixes to Make Them Look Longer

Tired of brushing hair out of your eyes, you grab scissors and trim your bangs in the bathroom. Result: they're shorter than planned.

Lengthen with serum
After shampooing, apply a small amount of oil-based hair serum to your bangs. It weighs them down slightly, making them appear longer. Bonus: added shine and smoothness for healthier-looking hair.

Sweep to the side
Camouflage the length by parting your bangs to one side and securing with a pin or headband.

Blow-dry straight
Use a thin brush and hair dryer to pull bangs straight down over your forehead. Stop at 90% dry, then apply another layer of serum.
