The glamorous new hairdo you were so excited to get didn’t turn out quite so well. Instead of the lovely longish locks you were hoping to get, you’re now left with awkward-looking bangs that don’t quite reach your eyebrows, and make you look like a boy.

The good news is, it’s going to grow back. The bad news is, it’s going to take a few months. Don’t fret. You just have to know how to grow your bangs gracefully, until you look like your old self again. Here are tips how.

The Brush And Blow Technique

If your bangs fall down the front of your face in an unpleasant way, here’s a quick remedy you can try: brush your bangs to just one side of your face. If your part is usually on the left, blow dry your bangs to the left side, sweeping it, and allowing it to blend with the rest of your hair. If it’s long enough, then you can tuck it behind your ears.

If your bangs still can’t reach the side of your head, use bobby pins to secure them. Find those that match your hair color. For example, if you’re dark-haired, black pins will suit you best. Use enough pins to secure your hair, then tuck them properly under your hair, so they won’t be seen.

Another tip: If your bangs get into your eyes and irritate them, blow dry your hair to add fluff every morning. If your bangs are fluffy, they won’t get into your eyes

Pick A Cutie Hairdo

Overly-short bangs, are something to detest, but complaining about them will never do you any good, Instead, why don’t you take this as an opportunity to show your feminine side? Experiment with cute and adorable hairstyles. For example, buy small colorful clips, pull your bangs back over your head, and secure them there. This is a trendy and girly hairstyle that’ll take years off your face. If you want. You can poof them up a bit, to give them volume. Add a bit of hairspray to secure loose strands into place.

Another good tactic is to use a headband. Headbands come in different designs, some of which will suit your face just right. Put the headband over your head, and sweep the bangs back away from the face. You can also part your bangs towards the side, and then put the headband over, to secure them to the sides of your face.

Add Hair Extensions

This is a popular trend that even celebrities try once in a while. Hair extensions are like mini-wigs, but instead of being put over the whole head, they are only clipped to remaining strands. Nowadays, manufacturers create clip-on bangs to cater to individuals that aren’t satisfied just with their bangs.

Clip-on bangs are delightful, especially if your bangs are shorter than you like them to be. They can be removed easily and don’t need a lot of fuss. The only downside of these is they’re expensive, so you must prepare some cash before trying this option.

Make Them Look Past The Fringe

If you’ve tried the methods above, yet you still think your hair looks funny, here’s one tactic you can try: direct the attention of people away from your hair, and towards another feature of you that looks good. For example, you can try putting on makeup, to enhance your facial features. Or you can change the way you dress. Instead of the usual jeans, wear lots of lovely dresses.

Love Your Hair

Don’t be afraid or embarrassed of your new hairstyle. Beauty isn’t just determined by a few locks of hair. If you feel beautiful, you look beautiful. Whatever hairstyle you’ve got, learn to appreciate and love it. Experiment, by trying on different hair accessories. Before you know it, your bangs are long and lovely again, just the way you want them to be.

One last tip: be patient. Remember, hair only grows at least half an inch every month. Your bangs may not grow back every night, but if you try these tips, they’ll make everyday tolerable, until you’re past the awful hairstyle you hate.
