Are you thinking about getting curtain bangs but not quite ready to commit to the cut? Maybe you’re not sure if they’ll suit your face shape or if you’re ready for a major hair change. Whatever the reason, there’s good news: you can fake curtain bangs without picking up the scissors. In this blog post, we’ll show you how to achieve the look in just a few simple steps.
Description
Curtain bangs, also known as Bardot bangs, are face-framing layers that sit just above the eyebrows and are parted down the middle, creating a curtain-like effect. They’re a popular choice for those looking to switch up their hairstyle without a dramatic chop. However, if you’re not ready to commit to the cut, or you’re not sure if they’ll suit your face shape, you can fake curtain bangs using just a few products and tools.
How to Fake Curtain Bangs
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Bobby pins
- Comb
- Hairspray
Step 1: Start with clean, dry hair. Part your hair down the middle and comb it straight.
Step 2: Take a small section of hair from your part and comb it forward. This will be your “bangs”.
Step 3: Use bobby pins to secure the section of hair to the side of your head, just behind your ears. Make sure the pins are hidden.
Step 4: Repeat on the other side so that you have two sections of hair framing your face.
Step 5: Use hairspray to keep your new “bangs” in place.
Tips
For a more natural look, try using a curling iron to add a slight wave to your “bangs”. You can also use a texturizing spray to give your hair more volume.
If you have shorter hair, you can still fake curtain bangs by using bobby pins to create a “faux fringe” that sits just above your eyebrows.
FAQ
Can I fake curtain bangs on curly hair?

Hair Care
To keep your “bangs” looking fresh, use dry shampoo to absorb any excess oil. You can also use a shine spray to add some extra gloss.
And there you have it – a quick and easy way to fake curtain bangs without picking up the scissors. Try it out and see if you like the look before committing to a haircut.
