Soft curtain bangs provide a face-framing element to any women’s hairstyle. They’re parted in the middle or slightly off-center, resembling theater drapes. If you appreciate this classic and feminine style, you’ve come to the right spot!
It was during the 1960s when women began to embrace this retro fringe. Many years later, it has remained a timeless choice. Here’s why:
“The softest curtain bangs are low-maintenance and simple to grow out,” says Shelby Loos, a stylist based in Kansas City, MO. These don’t necessitate a significant commitment if you’re apprehensive about opting for a full fringe.
However, once you determine that this is the style you wish to maintain, be mindful of scheduling regular trims. Arrange your appointments at the salon accordingly.
There isn’t a single type of curtain bangs. They all vary, depending on your face shape and characteristics. Therefore, it’s essential to review picture references and discuss them with your stylist.
Loos recommends inquiring about styling techniques and product suggestions. Understand the right tools to utilize and the best products to apply to your hair, based on its type and texture.
“I always suggest that women ensure their hair dries forward. Immediately after washing, position your wet bangs where you’d like them to dry. This helps train your hair to set forward,” Loos advises.
