Curly Bangs Hairstyles for Every Type and Texture

Bangs are in a hair category all their own. One of the most common misconceptions about bangs is that they're only for straight hair. But, we're here to dispel that myth because curly hair and bangs is a pretty amazing combo.

For anyone who's debating whether or not to get curly bangs after seeing them on celebs and all over Instagram, Nexxus Style & Trends Curator Lacy Redway has some advice that can make the decision easier. "With curly hair, it's easier for bangs to blend into your hair, and you can easily tuck them away if you want," she says.

Discussing your desired look with your stylist is key to getting a bang style that enhances your face shape. Post-cut, Redway says to be careful when you're diffusing your curls so that you don't experience any shrinkage. "Use silver clips to assist drying your curly bangs to assure that the bangs will not shrink as much," she suggests. "The clips will help keep your curly bangs down."

On non-wash days, Redway recommends using a curl spray like Nexxus Between Washes Revived Curls Crème Spray on your bangs to keep them smooth and manageable when you're styling. Convinced yet? Get all the of the curly bang inspo you need with the following 10 celeb hairstyles.

Zazie Beetz

We're obsessed with Zazie Beetz's springy, coily bangs and updo. The loose curls throughout give this look a messy and undone feel that is utterly romantic.

Ruth Negga

The baby bang and curly bang go together like wine and cheese. Ruth Negga's curly baby bangs are the focus of this swept up look, that has loose pieces pulled out for a more lived in look.

Alanna Arrington

Alanna Arrington's naturally curly bangs blend seamless into her chin-length curly locks. To enhance your natural curl pattern, try running an air-dry product through your damp hair, and then rough-dry it with your hands. Kenra Professional's Air Dry Creme 6 works on all hair types, plus cuts down on frizz and drying time.

Sandra Oh

Sandra Oh's SAG Awards hairstyle is a prime example of how well curly bangs and topknots go together. The Killing Eve star's hairstylist, Ted Gibson, spritzed a little bit of Shooting Star Texture Meringue, a texturizing spray from his namesake haircare line, to give her natural curls more definition.

Zendaya

Want a haircut that'll enhance your curls and your highlights? Look no further than Zendaya's shag and piecey bangs.

Natasha Lyonne

If you were distracted by just how good Natasha Lyonne's curly, voluminous hair and bangs are in Russian Doll, join the club. Off-screen, her loosely curled wispy bangs are just as perfect.

Solange

When you think of curly hair with bangs, you think of Solange's mid-length cut. The curl to volume ratio is just, chef's kiss.

Yara Shahidi

Create the illusion of side-swept bangs like Yara Shahidi by switching your part over to one side so that your shorter layers look like, well, you committed to getting bangs. Applying a little bit of Oribe's Curl Gelee on these pieces can help keep them in place.

Juno Temple

Now this is how you do curtain bangs when you have curly hair. Juno Temple gave her look a '60s-inspired twist by parting her hair down the center and adding some light bangs to her face-framing layers.

If your naturally curly bangs aren't cooperating, try a small- to medium-barreled curling iron and create curls yourself. This polished, side-swept curled bang on Tracee Ellis Ross really stands out.
