There's a reason curtain bangs became so popular "They're long enough to grow out or pin back if you want, but they can also be cut into a shorter look." The style has steadily become both a celebrity and Insta-girl fave for its easy-going vibe, reports Glamour. "Curtain bangs are the gateway to bangs, because they're super versatile," says Emily Heser, stylist at Cutler Salon in New York City. The look has roots in the ’60s and ’70s (think Jane Birkin), but today's take on it works with a range of styles and textures: messy waves, curly shags, sleek blowouts, high ponytails, you name it. Can anyone pull off curtain bangs?Ĭurtain bangs, for the uninitiated, are those shaggy, effortless bangs that-as the name suggests-frame your face perfectly, much like a curtain does with a window. That way you’ll also have the option to pull them back into a ponytail or tuck them behind your ears, according to Oprahmag. But if it’s your first time making the cut, though, you may want to go a bit longer, says Los Angeles-based hairstylist Aviva Perara.


While curtain bangs-which are a softer take on traditional, straight-across fringe-can vary in length, they’re typically shorter in the center (think: between the middle and bottom of the eyebrow) and longer on the sides, with wispy ends that blend into the rest of your hair. “You can sort of hide behind them, but people can still see your eyes.” “They’re super sultry, because you can be flirty and coquettish with them,” says New York City-based stylist Juan Carlos Maciques. What are curtain bangs?įirst made famous in the ‘60s and ‘70s by actresses like Brigette Bardot, Goldie Hawn, and Farrah Fawcett, curtain bangs-as the name suggests-are parted down the middle (or, sometimes, to the left or right) and swept to each side, so they perfectly frame your face and eyes, much like a curtain does with a window. It looks absolutely cute on ladies with any hair type curly, straight or thin hair. Whether short curtain bang, medium or long curtain bangs. Perhaps new haircut new hairstyle, curtain bangs are hot this year 2022 and this trend is still going strong. Goldie Hawn is in the iconic curtain bangs (Photo: Oprah Magazine)
