Reply #5: Dampen it to the root area, then

[Whoa_Nelly]

hold the bangs down over the forehead area with a hairbrush while using the blow dryer on low and aimed directly at the roots, blowing the downward direction you want the bangs to go. Do this until it dries (a few minutes.)
If it gets too hot in doing this, move blow dryer off area for a moment at a time.
By aiming at the root area, it forces the hair to go the direction you want it to lay.
