How to Style a Layered Cut & Curtain Bangs Wig | Myfirstwig UK

In this tutorial, we'll walk you through some simple steps to style your layered wig and perfect those curtain bangs. Let's get started!

How to Style a Layered Cut Wig

Styling a layered cut is all about enhancing dimension and movement. Follow these steps to bring out the best in your wig's layers.

Step 1. Section the Hair

Begin by clipping away the top outer layers of the wig. This helps you focus on one section at a time and ensures every layer gets the attention it deserves.

Step 2. Select and Straighten

Take a small section of hair that you'd like to style. Using a flat iron, clamp the hair near the roots.

Step 3. Create Inward Movement

As you glide the flat iron downwards, gradually angle the tool inward. This technique helps build soft body and shape into the layers.

Step 4. Keep It Parallel Midway

When you reach the mid-section of the hair, ensure the flat iron is parallel to the ground. This helps maintain consistency and a smooth finish.

Step 5. Finish with a Sleek Pull

Continue pulling the flat iron down to the ends. Repeat this process on all sections for a full, blended look.

Pro Tip:
If you'd like the layers to be visible from the front, focus only on the hair that falls in front of your shoulders. If you prefer to wear your hair behind your shoulders, style the entire wig using the steps above, then gently sweep all the hair back with your hands for a soft, cascading effect.

How to Style Curtain Bangs

Curtain bangs are the star of this look — soft, parted in the middle, and effortlessly chic. Here are two easy methods to style them.

Method #1 – The Flat Iron Flip

Step 1. Isolate Your Bangs

Pick out the section of hair you'd like to style as your bangs.

Step 2. Iron and Pull to the Sides

Using a flat iron, clamp the bangs and gently pull the tool towards either side — left for the right section, right for the left.

Step 3. Release and Go

Let go of the iron, and you're done! It really is that simple.

Method #2 – The Heat-Assisted Roll

Step 1. Roll with a Round Brush

Take a round brush and roll the bangs starting from the front. Use a blow dryer on medium heat to warm the hair as you roll.

Tip: To protect the hair fibres, you can heat the round brush with the blow dryer first, then roll the bangs.

Step 2. Lift and Smooth

Gently pull the brush upwards and through the bangs until the entire section is smooth.

Step 3. Finger-Fluff for Finish

Use your fingers to lightly tousle the bangs back towards your forehead. This creates a soft, feathered effect.

Note: If you have a layered cut wig with bangs, you can use the same techniques above to style the fringe section.

We hope these tips help you rock your Myfirstwig layered cut and curtain bangs with confidence! Whether you're going for a boho vibe or a sleek finish, a little styling goes a long way!
