Blow-drying And Combing It Backwards

Wondering how to keep your hair out of your face without putting it up? Well, blowdrying is your best option. 

For this, you need a blow dryer and a thermal or round brush. This method can be done on both wet and dry hair. 

Now, start by taking about a 1-inch section of your hair from the front. Then you have to pinch the hair and roll it in your brush. 

Turn your blow dryer on and start at the root of your hair. Slowly move the brush away, maintaining the heat on your brush.

Then roll your brush back in and continue 2 to 3 times. That is until you get your desired style. Repeat this until you’ve blowdried your entire front hair section. And there you have it, perfectly volumized hair styled away from your face!

Besides blow drying, you can also use a curler or straightener. And you’ll get the same result by following this technique as well!

You Can Tie Or Braid Your Hair

Now, this step involves partially tying up your hair. You can either use hair ties, or other accessories such as clips to do so. 

To start off, we can simply part half of the hair from the front and put it into a ponytail. This is a very simplistic look that takes no time to do. 

Moreover, you can also take two sections from your front part and brush it back. Then using a hair tie, secure the two sections at the nape beneath the hair. This is a little trick that people do to get that smooth, sleek part in the front.

Moreover, you can also do a half bun or a messy hair bun. To prevent tucking your hair you can scrunch up your hair without any damage and put it up. 

These are in trend nowadays and look very sleek. And it is probably the most stylish way to get the hair out of your face

Besides tying up your hair, you can use barrettes, bandanas, or headbands. This will keep your hair in place. 

Moreover, there’s another option for you. You can braid the front section of your hair and clip it. Or you can also do a french braid or waterfall braid. But if you don’t have that much time, you can just twist the front section and secure it with a clip!

If you want a hairdo that ties all your hair, we got you. You can do a beautiful pigtail or a messy braid. These braids complement almost all styles. Therefore, no matter what you’re dressing up for, a braid will always work. 

However, if you want a quick, instant hairdo, you can use a claw clip. You will just have to twist your hair and place it. This clip will hold it in place.

Cut Your Hair In a Style That Keeps Your Hair Out of Your Face

Now if you have exhausted all your efforts, this alternative might be helpful. Well, you have hair in the front section that’s bothering you, why not cut it. You can shape it into bangs and your hair will always be away from your face.

Moreover, bangs might give you a more structured look. So, that’ll last a long time, bangs are the way to go! 

However, if you have a shorter forehead, you can opt for curtain bangs. And maybe style your bangs backward!
