Bangs + Curls = One Great Match! 

Adding bangs to a naturally curly hairstyle is sometimes a conundrum: do you leave them curly or do you straighten them? I’d say go with what works for you. The tighter the curls, the longer you should leave the bangs. This way they can stay in their natural texture. The looser your curls, the more bangs you can create and style them either curly or straight.
