Bottleneck bangs are having a moment in the spotlight (for good reason), offering a modern twist on the classic fringe. They're inspired by the shape of a bottleneck, and start wider at the top and taper down to a more narrow point. They blend seamlessly into the rest of your hair, creating a soft, face-framing effect. Bottleneck bangs are perfect for those who want to add bangs to their hairstyle without committing to a full fringe.

Unlike blunt bangs, bottleneck bangs are low maintenance, growing out gracefully and reducing the need for frequent trims. They also provide a contemporary twist on classic bangs, making them a favorite among fashion-forward individuals looking for a modern yet timeless hairstyle.

Styling Your Bottleneck Bangs

Here’s how to style your bottleneck bangs with a classic blowout look:

Step 1: Apply a lightweight mousse or texturizing spray to damp hair.

Step 2: Blow-dry your bangs using a round brush, directing the hair to the sides to enhance the bottleneck shape.

Step 3: Finish with a touch of lightweight hairspray to keep your bangs in place without making them stiff.

If you’re looking to embrace your natural texture:

Step 1: Apply a sea salt spray or a texturizing product to damp hair.

Step 2: Blow-dry your bangs with a diffuser attachment to enhance natural waves or curls.

Step 3: Use a curling wand to add a few loose waves to your bangs if needed.

Step 4: Finish with a light-hold hairspray to maintain the tousled effect.

To maintain the shape of your bottleneck bangs, it's important to visit your stylist every 6-8 weeks for regular trims. Book with ash salon here!
