Description

Curtain bangs have been a popular hair trend for the past few years. They are a style of bangs that are parted in the middle and frame the face on either side, similar to how curtains frame a window. However, not everyone can pull off this look. It's important to know if curtain bangs suit you before making the chop.

How to

There are a few things to consider when deciding if curtain bangs are right for you. First, take a look at your face shape. Curtain bangs look best on people with oval or heart-shaped faces, as they help to soften the angles of the face. If you have a round or square-shaped face, curtain bangs may not be the best option for you.

Another factor to consider is your hair type. Curtain bangs work best on hair that is straight or has a slight wave. If you have curly hair, it may be difficult to style curtain bangs and they may not lay properly. Additionally, if you have fine or thin hair, curtain bangs may make your hair appear even thinner.

It's also important to consider your lifestyle and how much time you are willing to spend styling your hair. Curtain bangs require regular trims to maintain their shape and may need to be styled with a blow dryer or flat iron. If you don't have the time or patience for this, curtain bangs may not be the best option for you.

Step by Step

If you've considered all of the factors above and think curtain bangs may be right for you, here's how to get them:

1. Find a picture of curtain bangs that you like and show it to your stylist.
2. Ask your stylist to cut your bangs slightly longer than you think you want them. You can always go shorter, but it's difficult to add length back.
3. Have your stylist part your bangs down the middle and cut them in a "V" shape, so they frame your face on either side.
4. Once your bangs are cut, style them with a blow dryer or flat iron. Use a round brush to create volume and sweep your bangs to either side of your face.

Tips

Here are a few tips to keep in mind if you decide to go for curtain bangs:

• Use a volumizing shampoo and conditioner to give your hair extra body and lift.
• Try using dry shampoo on your bangs to keep them from getting oily throughout the day.
• Invest in a good quality flat iron or blow dryer to make styling your bangs easier.

FAQ

Here are some frequently asked questions about curtain bangs:

How often do I need to get my curtain bangs trimmed?

Curtain bangs should be trimmed every 4-6 weeks to maintain their shape.

Can I still wear a middle part with curtain bangs?

Yes, you can still wear a middle part with curtain bangs. Simply part your bangs down the middle and sweep them to either side of your face.

What should I do if I don't like my curtain bangs?

If you're not happy with your curtain bangs, talk to your stylist about adjusting the length or shape. They may be able to make some small changes to make you feel more comfortable with your new look.

Hair Care

Lastly, it's important to take care of your hair after getting curtain bangs. Use a heat protectant spray before styling your bangs with heat tools and avoid using too much product, as it can weigh down your hair. Regular trims will also help to keep your bangs looking their best.

Now that you know how to know if curtain bangs suit you, you can confidently decide if this trend is right for you. Remember to consider your face shape, hair type, and lifestyle before making the chop. With the right cut and styling, curtain bangs can be a stylish and flattering addition to your look.
