Got bangs? If you want to tie your hair up but you’re wondering which updo styles look best on you, I’m here to help. I’ve never loved wearing my hair up, but sometimes needs must. Whether it’s a heat wave or a workout, it’s a practical decision to get your hair out of your face, but you may as well look your best while doing it.

But finding the perfect up-do with bangs can be a daunting task. Many people shy away from bangs thinking they automatically mean so much more styling time, but I’m here to prove you wrong. Bangs frame your face, they work on every texture and contrary to popular belief, they actually can be very easy to style.

The great thing about bangs is that you can do a quick up style with your hair applying no heat damage and just spend a few minutes on your bangs with a heat roller to give some volume, giving you a super stylish ‘do in minutes. Best of all, they hide that ever present forehead sweat that rears its ugly head at the gym.

No matter what style of bangs you choose; blunt, middle-parted, curtain bangs or short and choppy – there’s literally a style to suit everyone. Still need some fringe-spo to convince you? Keep scrolling for 17 banging updos guaranteed to take you no longer than five minutes in the morning and look good on everyone.
