Relaxing your hair allows you to manage fluffed bangs that won’t behave. It also opens up a wide range of hairstyles for you to enjoy that you couldn’t accomplish with overly fluffed or kinky hair. Be gentle with your hair when choosing a style, though, or you may leave it damaged after it goes through the strenuous relaxing process.

A modern bob can lengthen a chubby face and accentuate a long throat. Cut your hair to be jaw-length. It can be a little longer, but it should never reach your shoulders. Add pencil-straight bangs that end just below your eyebrows to the mix. This creates a sleek, ultra-modern look. Treat the hairstyle with leave-in conditioner as well as hair gels that keep down errant strands. This maintains the high-gloss look you wish to maintain with a modern hairstyle.

Updo

Relaxed hair can easily work as an updo, but you need to treat it kindly to reduce the chance of kinking. A simple updo makes your bangs stand out and grab attention. Place a dime-sized drop of anti-frizz serum in your hands. Rub your hands together and drag them through your hair starting at the roots and working out to the tips. Pull your hair back into a loose bun, ponytail or braid. Brush it as you pull it back to ensure that it is smooth and shiny.

Windblown Look

Rearranging your bangs can reshape the entire look of your face. If you’ve enjoyed a ride in a convertible, you know how much the wind can reshape your bangs and change the look of your face. Relaxed hair hangs loosely, so you may need to use product to persuade your hair to stay shaped the way you desire. Part your hair on the left side. Place a small bit of mousse on your hands and rub them together. Swipe the bangs to either side of your head. Swoop one side of the bangs over your face. Shake up your hair at the back of your head, adding curls and a messy appearance.

Smooth and Simple

Sometimes leaving your hair down is the best way to take advantage of the relaxed hair look. It will hang down your shoulders and shine brightly. Lightly tousle your hair with some anti-frizz serum on your hands. Comb your hair straight starting at the ends and moving up to the part in the scalp. Brush your bangs down next, either bringing them down pencil-straight across your forehead or parting them off to the sides. Leaving them straight across your forehead keeps with the smooth look of your hair, but the separated bangs can fluff up and give you a new texture for your hairstyle that draws attention to your face.
