How do I achieve a full bouncy fringe?

My fringe seems to lie very flat to my forehead. Too poker-straight. I need more bounce in my fringe. Any hacks, please? TIA.

Put the brush on top of the fringe and dry it outwards not inwards and then again inwards. Use a big round brush.

I use a hot air brush to roll it backwards for a few seconds, then put in a Velcro roller and leave until I’ve done the rest of my hair/make up. Then hairspray at the end. I have more a curtain bangs cut but it gives me a huge 90s rock star fringe!

Thank you answerers so far. Great hacks. I should've done this at the beginning. This isn't my hair, but I've pasted it to show you how similar my fringe is currently to this one in the pic below:

Put your fringe in a medium sized roller while you’re doing your make up. You can very slightly dampen it but don’t wet it. Or you could roll it round your finger and pin in place overnight. My DM taught me this when I had a disastrous perm as a teenager that gave me a frizzy fringe.

Love my nylon pink rollers. I have a roller in the car, one in my bag and one in the house 😁 no one bats an eye in the staffroom when I put one in for a few minutes.

Blow dry it the opposite direction of how you want it to sit.

A bit of hair powder or dry shampoo just on the fringe helps too.

Mine can look a bit like the photo and sometimes I wash the fringe only (put the rest back in a shower cap) - helps give it a bit of bounce on days you don’t need to wash it all.

I don’t personally like rollers in my fringe as they give it too much of a curl.

Thank you very much everyone. I'll do as suggested. 💇‍♀️
