If you are looking to refresh your haircut without sacrificing length, curtain bangs are the answer. Inspired by 70s icons like Brigitte Bardot, this style frames the face beautifully and blends seamlessly into layered haircuts.
What are Curtain Bangs?
Unlike blunt straight-across bangs, curtain bangs are cut shorter in the middle and gradually taper longer toward the cheekbones. They sweep outwards from the center, parting down the middle like a pair of curtains, hence the name.
Why They Stand Out
- Universally Flattering: They complement almost every face shape and hair texture, from pin-straight to tight curls.
- Low-Maintenance Growth: Because they blend into long layers, curtain bangs grow out gracefully. You won’t need trims every two weeks!
- Effortless Styling: Easily styled with a round brush and blow dryer, or swept back with hairpins on active days.
Styling Tip
To get that effortless bounce, blow-dry your bangs forward using a large round brush, then roll them back and let them cool in a roller for 5 minutes. Shake them out for that signature fluffy 70s swing.
