Bangs are totally hot right now… but sometimes you just get sick of having them flop around in front of your face. Like when you’re working out, or when it’s humid, and especially when they get long and poke you in the eye. That’s not fun for anybody.

But you don’t have to grow them out to avoid dealing with them! I’ve got three cute, trendy and quick looks to help you conceal that fringe.

Yes, you can have your bangs and hide them too.

Attention, ponytails: You’ve got some competition! Braids are taking over as the go-to, chic-for-every-occasion hairstyle on celebs, models and, now, you.

1. The undone braid
The number-one thing to love about this style: The messier it gets, the better it looks!

How to Get it Right

1. No need for a blowout; just apply a bit of texturizer to the bottom third of dry hair for nongreasy piecey-ness. A good one to try: Pantene Pro-V Texture Spray Wax ($6.50, at drugstores). 2. Make a braid (or two!), securing with a clear elastic two inches from the ends. 3. Now gently tug around the crown and back of your head to get the messiness going, instructs celebrity hairstylist Hallie Bowman. To loosen the braid up even more, stick your fingers or the handle of a comb in and wiggle a bit. Got layers? Let ‘em hang out.

You’ve all seen it: the side braid. Supposedly made infamous by Lauren Conrad, this look has been seen on red carpets, runways and LA sidewalks alike. I don’t give Ms. Conrad credit for this hair gem (or the books she’s “written”), but I can show you how to do it.

Disclaimer: Being able to do a side braid does not guarantee a hit reality show based on you doing nothing, or a crappy, watered down fashion line in Kohl’s stores across the country.

Now that I have that out of the way, let’s get braiding. And don’t need to be intimidated by the French braid! Just keep your cool and practice; come Summer, you’ll have the perfect day-to-night ‘do down pat.
