Micro bangs are a popular hair trend this year. Also known as baby bangs or fringe bangs, knowing how to care for them can help you keep them looking fresh. Below, we will talk about some care tips for your micro bangs.
What are Micro Bangs?
Micro bangs are a style of short, full bangs that cover about half of the forehead or less. They come from the vintage styles of the ’50s and ’60s, but have been making a real splash in 2025. Ultimately, micro bangs require a bit more maintenance to keep them looking fresh and uniform, compared to more traditional bangs.
Using the Right Brush
A boar-bristle brush is the perfect tool for maintaining your micro bangs. A staple in many beard kits, boar’s hair brushes help keep hair uniform while evenly distributing the natural oils of your hair. A good routine with a solid brush can reduce maintenance time and keep your bangs looking neat.
Dry Shampoo is Essential
The short style and closeness to your forehead can leave micro bangs looking more oily than the rest of your hair in less time. Adding a quick treatment of dry shampoo to the morning routine can help mitigate this.
Silk for Sleep
Sleeping with a silk headband can help keep your bangs flat and neat. It can reduce hair damage and prevent your bangs from going askew. For even more hair protection all around, switch to a silk pillowcase. Silk catches less hair than cotton and other materials, and reduces friction on the pillow. This helps keep your hair less messy and limits breakage.
Mini Tools For Micro Bangs
Styling your micro bangs can be hard with a normal-sized flat iron. Invest in a miniature one, instead. A mini flat iron can give you more precision while working with your short bangs. Additionally, use the flat iron on its lowest heat setting to reduce heat damage where possible.
