If there's one hairstyle moment that's had everyone reaching for their scissors lately, it's the bang hairstyle. And no one has made a stronger case for the fringe than Ananya Panday, whose effortless, face-framing has become one of the most searched celebrity looks of the season. But here's the thing: bangs are as high-maintenance as they are high-impact. Get them right and they're transformative. Get them wrong and you're two days away from a very regrettable side-part. We asked two industry experts—Loic Chapoix, creative art director at Dessange, and Amanda Carvalho, celebrity hairstylist and founder of her own salon—to break down exactly how to wear, style, and care for your fringe this season.
-
Ananya's curtain bangs work because they're kept soft, swept, and simply styled. Let the fringe be the focal point and keep the rest of your hair low-key.
-
Wash bangs separately every 1-2 days; the rest of your hair doesn't need to follow the same schedule.
-
Blow-dry on low heat with a round brush, always finish with a cool shot to set and fight frizz.
-
Trim every 3-4 weeks and keep dry shampoo on hand for humidity and midday refreshes.
