Bella Murphy is looking as gorgeous as ever with this hairstyle. The star of this style has got to be her gorgeous bangs. The right bangs can highlight some of your facial features - and hide or flatter others. Bangs can complement your eyes particularly well for example. You can accentuate large eyes by wearing bangs that sit straight down or to the side, as Bella has done. The bangs frame her eye area well and soften the edges which create the illusion of an oval face shape. Keep in mind that bangs sit on an oily part of your skin. This means that you are going to need to wash your bangs more often than the rest of your hair. Dry shampoo can come to the rescue on days you do not want to wash your bangs but it will help freshen up your bangs and take away the appearance of oily and greasy hair.

When it comes to your makeup application, you want to keep it simple. Bella has placed a dark line underneath her eyes and given it a wing finish which is trending at the moment. If this look is a bit too dark for you, you can always do a natural smokey eye which is a great go-to makeup application. You can finish off your look with a gorgeous gloss or your favorite lipstick color and you are ready to show the world your new bangs and hairstyle!

Styling Steps

1. Part the Middle

Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your nose and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even middle part. A middle part is a great way to make small, round face shapes appear longer and thinner.

2. Blow-dry Straight Back

Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the nape/back. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends.

3. Blow-dry Straight on the Sides

Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the sides. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends. Repeat this step on a new section directly above the dry one.

4. Blow-dry Bangs Forward

When blow-drying your bangs forward, clip your hair back leaving only your bangs out. Position your bangs evenly in your brush, taking the hair in a forward direction. Blow-dry from roots to ends, keeping the tension consistent, and evenly distribute heat over the whole section of hair that you are working on. Repeat until the hair is dry. This will stop any frizz that may occur.

5. Apply Hairspray

To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
