McDonald's bangs are the biggest TikTok hairstyle trend for summer 2023!

You've probably heard of curtain bangs, wispy bangs, and even slip bangs, but have you ever heard of McDonald's bangs? Yes, you got it right! The latest bangs trend for 2023 is all over TikTok and it's named after the popular fast food chain, but not for the reason you probably think...

The McDonald's Bangs is a voluminous fringe shaped like the letter M, imitating the fast food chain's iconic symbol. It is very similar to curtain bangs, but the main difference between the traditional bangs version and its new variant is that the McDonald's bangs are voluminous at the roots. The bangs are very successfully reminiscent of the look of 70s fashion icon Farrah Fawcett. The entire trend conveys the classic, stylish and sexy feel of those years.

The McDonald's Pony trend - then and now

Would you ever have guessed that the commonality between the hottest hairdressing trend for summer 2023 and the fast food chain McDonald's that we all turn to at certain moments (with or without regret) would be the name of a new pony fashion ?!? Not me personally, but I definitely enjoy this fact! And I'm thrilled that this style is back, with a name that suits its time, and I'll tell you why!

I was a fan of McDonald's Bangs before it was called that on social media. Since the days when there was no social media and the big stars were surrounded by mystery and secrets. Even Marilyn Monroe wore these bangs back then, but with a side parting! And its current version 2.0 is in no way inferior to the previous one, only the context in which it exists is different.

There TikTok Trend: In 2018, “Follow the Arches” appeared on hundreds of billboards. The purpose is to guide drivers to the iconic golden arches of the McDonald's logo in the shape of the letter M. However, in 2023, TikTokers gave this slogan new meaning. The McDonald's bangs received more than 194 million views on the social network and quickly became an unexpected source of summer hairstyle inspiration.

For those of you who are new to the trend, let's describe exactly what McDonald's bangs are. We have already mentioned that they are a type of curtain bangs. It's cut very long, creating two soft, voluminous waves around the face. In contrast to curtain bangs, McDonald's bangs do not fall flat on the forehead, but are shaped at the base in such a way that they do not cover the face, but on the contrary - reveal it. They can be perfectly combined with medium and long hairstyles. Here's how to style McDonald's bangs yourself at home.

How can you style your own bangs with a hairdryer?

To style your McDonald's bangs, you will need a medium-diameter round brush (too small is not suitable for achieving the necessary volume, and too large makes it difficult to work with short strands), a hairdryer and a few skillful movements.

However, first apply a heat protectant to your hair to protect it from the hot air of the blow dryer. Then take the round brush, place it at the roots under your bangs and start blow-drying your hair inwards (towards your face). This is the first step to creating the volume that forms the basis of this look. Next, part your hair in the middle, take the brush, place it at the base of the bangs on the left side and this time start blow-drying the strand backwards (away from your face). Do the same on the right side.

Finally, to get the final M shape, place the round brush - first at the bottom of the bangs on the left side and blow-dry the hair outwards (away from the face), repeat the process on the right side. Fix it with hairspray. McDonald's Bangs are ready!

How to Get McDonald's Bangs Without Heat

To shape your McDonald's bangs without heat, it's important that you style them while your hair is still wet. Depending on your hair texture, there are two ways to do this. The first is that you simply push your hair back and use your fingers to create the typical bow for McDonald's bangs. Afterwards, if you want, you can spray on hairspray and let your curls dry freely in this form.

If your hair doesn't cope with this method, try the second one. Once you've formed the typical bow of bangs with your fingers (again, on wet hair), secure your curls on the left and right with bobby pins and let them dry. Then simply remove the clips and fix them with hairspray.
