Before you begin the styling process, you'll want to make sure the cut of your bangs is right for you, your hair, and your desired outcome. For a wavy style, a longer bang cut that gives a nod to the iconic styles of the '70s will be best. A longer length will provide you with more versatile options as well. Celebrity hair stylist Ryan Trygstad, explained to Allure, "I find [people with naturally curly hair] have more options with a longer length, like wearing it to the side or a center part."
If you're looking for a shorter length for your hair, the outlet notes that you'll still want to start at a longer length to see how your hair's texture reacts to your new short-in-the-front style. It's always better to start long and gradually work your way up to your desired length at your next trim.
