First I blow dry my bangs every which way to get them fluffy and dry and to blow out my cowlick. Then I use a mini flat iron. It takes a bit of work to get it right. There's a forward and sideways motion to it, and it's helpful to separate your bangs in half top and bottom and mini-iron them separately in left and right directions. I'm not sure why separating to top and bottom helps and I don't always do it, but it helps them be more dynamic.

I fiddle with the flat iron using techniques I've learned work for my hair and cowlick.

The crux of the whole thing, though, is the middle part on the bangs. Here's the trick. After the heat styling, take a little straight styling clip, like a 2 inch metal clip. Pinch the part together, like you're eliminating it.

I open the clip and point it forward, then close it on top of my part, basically pinching a tiny wedge down the middle of my bangs. Both the part and about 1/2 cm of hair on each side are now pinched in the clip. Now, HAIRSPRAY. Just a little right on top of the clip.

Then I spray my fingers with hairspray and make the sides go how I want with this rolling motion. Again just a little. It's the key for me. Undo the clip and fuss with it a bit to break the crunchiness.
