Pro Tips on Styling Curtain Bangs

Fringe or no fringe? Practically every one of us has asked ourselves this question at one point or another. Bangs go in and one of style and right now, they are back in style. And one of the hottest trends for fringes is curtain bangs.

What are curtain bangs? And who can pull off this trendy look for fringe? In this article, we shall explain this current trend. As well, we will provide expert advice on how to property style curtain fringe.

What Are Curtain Bangs And Why Are They Popular?

Curtain bangs are typically longer bangs that are parted in the middle to frame and highlight your face. Similar to curtains, they “open up” the view to that beautiful face of yours. In general, they are much longer than traditionally cut bangs and often have wispy ends that blend flawlessly into your hairstyle.

If you are looking for a style that is softer, more playful, and more demure than blunt bangs, curtain bangs may be right for you. Side parted hair is out and middle parts are in so curtain fringe is all the rage and replaces the now out-of-style side-swept bangs. Here are some more reasons why curtain bangs are currently all the rage.

Curtain Bangs Are Super Easy To Style 

Curtain bangs are extremely versatile in that they can be styled in a manner of ways.  For example, you can pull them up in an updo, pigtail, or ponytail. Or you can leave them out for a fun and flirty look. As well, you can clip them to the side using decorative hair clips or barrettes. 

Curtain Fringe Can Help Mask Your Insecurities

We all have things we are sensitive about in our facial features. Curtain bangs are perfect for masking wrinkles, fine lines, and other such “flaws” for those who don’t wish to embrace the fact that they are aging gracefully.

Curtain Bangs Are Sexy And Sassy

 This style was once very popular in the 1960s and 70s. Why? Because they are fun, flirty, and super sexy. Curtain fringe falls seductive around your face for a sassy vibe. 

Curtain Bangs Complement Any Facial Structure 

Another reason that curtain bangs are making a comeback is that they will nicely complement every facial shape. As well, they are ideal for every hair texture as well as any length. Whether your hair is poker straight, curly, wavy, or in-between, curtain bangs are extremely flattering.

Curtain bangs Require Very Little Upkeep

Unlike other types of fringe, curtain bangs don’t need to be trimmed as frequently. Depending on how quickly your hair grows out, you can go as long as 3 months without a trim. And while it may be tempting to cut them yourself, it is best to visit your stylist to maintain the proper length and style for your curtain fringe.
