On the surface, figuring out how to sleep with bangs doesn’t seem like it would be that challenging. It’s easy to assume that you can just put your fringe up and hit the sheets the same way you would if you had a blunt cut. But if you have bangs, you know it’s not always that straightforward. It’s not uncommon to go to bed with perfectly-styled fringe only to wake up with a frizzy, disheveled mess come sunrise. Thankfully, there are a few tricks that can help keep your bangs—whether you’re working with short curly fringe, long curtain bangs, side bangs, or something else entirely—looking well-groomed even after a good night’s sleep. Read on to learn how to keep bangs in place while you catch those Z’s. How To Prep Your Bangs Before Bed One of the main reasons bangs can look so unkempt when you wake up is because they have a tendency to get oily overnight—even if you don’t have oily hair.

Knowing how to keep bangs from getting greasy while you sleep can make styling them in the morning much easier.
