Side Twist + Fishtail Braid
Part your hair to the side side and grab a chunk of hair from the front. Loosely twist the section in opposite direction of the part. Stop twisting at your temple and secure with a bobby pin. Fishtail-braid remaining, loose hair.
Chunky Side Braid
Start by parting hair on the side and sweeping hair over the opposite shoulder. Beginning at the part, French braid large sections of hair. Continue braiding to the end and wrap a hair tie around each end to prevent unraveling.
Modern-Day Victory Roll
You'll need a boatload of bobby pins for this bang-hiding hairdo, but it's totally worth it. First, detangle strands and section off the areas you want to roll. Starting at the end of your hair, roll under or over, really, whatever feels right. Pin the twist with a few bobbies to your scalp and repeat on the next section.
Scarf Headband
Since headbands are probably already your go-to for a bad bangs day, why not slip on a super-cute version. Grab a scarf and DIY your own headband .
Slick Middle Part
Middle parts are tres chic now, and they are also great for disguising stubborn overgrown bangs. First detangle strands by applying a generous amount of leave-in conditioner (or moisturizing gel if you have thicker/curlier hair), focusing on your bangs. Par your hair down the middle and use a fine-tooth comb to smooth strands down and behind your ears. Secure the style with a ponytail or a bun.
Wrap-Around Braid
This style looks far more complicated than it actually is. (Would I lie to you?) Start by parting hair on the side or middle. On one side of the part, start to French braid or flat twist hair around the crown to the nape of your neck. If you have hair left from that side, braid it normally and secure the end with a small elastic. Repeat on the other side. Finish by pinning the ends against your scalp. Gorg, right?
Braided Pompadour
You're already a pro at pinning your bangs back when you do a ponytail or bun. Mix things up by braiding them back instead. Simply grab the section of hair in front, including your bangs, and do a French braid. Once you reach the crown of your head, pull strands into a pony or bun. Now, just wait for the compliments to roll in.
