Bailie Kate, a hairstylist from Boulder, CO, shares how she creates this style. She explains, “First, I inspect how wide or narrow the hairline is and if there is any presence of cowlicks. The hairline will show me how the hair is going to lay and the level of styling needed.”
When considering straight hairstyles with curtain bangs, Kate assesses a woman’s facial shape next. “I look at the face shape to make a clear-cut decision on what length would be most flattering,” she states.
When styling fringes, opt for a style that promotes ease and practicality. Kate suggests asking your stylist to have the curtain bangs long enough so you can pull them back into a ponytail if desired. You may use the aid of bobby pins and headbands whenever you’re exercising or washing your face.
On the topic of hair maintenance, Kate points out that this style has low upkeep. “They grow seamlessly well that even if they get too long, they become a soft face frame,” she says. If you like having your curtain bangs short, trimming every 6-8 weeks is vital.
