How to Do a Hump With Bangs
MELISSA J. BELL
LIFE
Hump, pump, pomp or bump, this upswept hairstyle boasts high volume with a classic kick. Although inspired by the tall, cascading puff of curls that French King Louis XV's mistress Madame de Pompadour popularized in the 1700s, the modern pompadour is no costume drama 'do and requires no wigs, hair pieces or wire framework to wear. Instead, return to the rockabilly greaser look of the 1950s for a face-framing hair hump that flatters, with or without bangs.

Separate a top section of hair from just beyond your bangs to the crown of your head. Wind the section around a round brush and blow-dry the section away from the face, toward the back of the head.
13 Tease the underside of the dried section of hair for extra volume
Tease the underside of the dried section of hair for extra volume. Place bobby pins at the crown to hold the top section in place. Pull the hair into a ponytail or bun for a sleek look, or leave it hanging for a casual look.

15 Directing the air flow from roots
Direct the nozzle of a hair dryer downward, directing the air flow from roots to tips, to straighten the bangs.
16 Finger-comb
Finger-comb your bangs to the side and leave them free or tuck them behind your ear. Spritz the style with hairspray.
- For straight bangs, leave them out of the bump and style them as usual.
- For fine hair, set hair with hot rollers before styling to create extra volume.
- If the volume in the bump is too low, increase teasing at the crown for extra height.
