Frequently Asked Questions Are curly bangs high maintenance? Curly hair will require more bangs maintenance. Curls add more texture and volume, so your hair care routine might take longer. Additionally, as bangs grow, your hairstyle will change unless you regularly trim bangs to a specific length. How does face shape impact curly bangs? Oval face shapes accommodate versatile bangs, while square face shapes can look heavy with curly bangs. Adding texture will lighten the appearance without creating too-short bangs.
