Oh mylanta! When ensuring a character stays memorable, they need to stand out in personality and looks. Among the cast of Full House, DJ Tanner accomplished this thanks to her conduct as an older sister and her trendy appearance that included iconic, big, teased bangs. Of course, any hairstyle requires styling, and her actress, Candace Cameron Bure, would have to become very familiar with mastering this look and maintaining it for the four years DJ embraced the fringe. That leaves her uniquely positioned to share just how she got this look for each day of shooting, what the style meant to her, and why she chooses it as the show's most standout feature over John Stamos's own memorable appearance.

That's what the '80s and '90s were for, man — big hair." How did Bure shape her hair into DJ Tanner's teased bangs for 'Full House'?

"Here's how you got the iconic high bang, okay? You take the palm of your hand and you go like this."
