I recently cut my bangs (fringe in the UK?) . I used to have them for years and years until I got rid of them, which took about two years. So, cutting them back off was a pretty big deal. I thought of getting a wig for my bangs so when I didn't want bangs, I could just unclip 'em off! But, that seemed a bit... bleh. So, I cut it about a month ago. And... I had completely forgotten what a hassle and bother they could be!
As I mentioned in this hair care post a few weeks ago, I always get my hair chemically straightened. Usually, the hair cut and perm happens all in a day. So, what happens is... you end up with really straight bangs. Like. STRAIGHT. bangs. And who would want that? There needs to be some volume, right? A bit of naturalness you know? So, what I usually do is blow dry my bangs so that it could get a natural "bump".
BUT! Then, I discovered this thing. And I never thought it'd do the job considering how straight my hair is AND how thick they are. Now ladies (and guys??) if you are one to be lazy about blowdrying and having to that every time you wash your hair, then listen up!

These hair curlers are amazing! What you do is take that piece of bangs that you know need a curl and curl them they way... well, the way you do with hair curlers. Then, go about doing your thing and depending on how much volume/curl you want, you can leave it for maybe 1 minute to as long as you want. Usually, I put it in when my hair is still damp. Then, if I want a really natural curl, I leave it on for maybe 5 minutes or when most of the water dried off. Then when I take it out, then voila! That's it.
But, since I have thick hair and an oily scalp... if I only do it for a few minutes, it has a tendency to go straight in the middle of the day. That's the case even with blow dry. So, I like to start off with a bit of curl. Then, you can always comb it down and if it's too excess, just damp your fingers and comb it through. Then, it'll be just fine :)
These are cheap and affordable, coming in all different sizes. Get it in any drugstore or any haircare store. Depending on the size of "bump" you want, pick that and just curl them in.
