A Truly Painless Way to Grow Out Your Bangs

If you've ever tried to grow out your bangs (or your hairstyle for that matter), then you'll know it can truly be a pain.

If you've ever tried to grow out your bangs (or your hairstyle for that matter), then you'll know it can truly be a pain. But there's an easier way to get through the long, often awkward process.

"To grow out fringe, work with your stylist to thin it out," explains Jen McGann, the director of cosmetology at Tricoci University of Beauty Culture. "Really texturize it and take some of the perimeter weight out on the bottom."
