50 Modern Lobs with Curtain Bangs for Fashion-Forward Women

The first time I cut a long bob with curtain bangs on someone who had long layers for eight years still sticks with me. I remember the look on her face as the cut started to take form. Most people don’t react like that when they get a haircut, but this case is an exception. I was shocked when I noticed tears streaming down her face, and I quickly realized she wasn’t crying out of fear or because she hated the cut; she was crying because, after so many years, she finally looked like herself again. This is why, despite the changing trends, I always come back to this combo. It’s the combination of a lob with curtain bangs, because beyond being trendy, it is one of the most uplifting hairstyles to have. It reshapes the entire look of the person, and in many instances, it even adds a new lease to the life of most people.

When it comes to bangs, possible length, added texture, color (dark/glassy or light/sunny), and the option to keep it sleek creates a unique identity for the haircut. I have done this for twenty two year olds about to get their first big job, and women in their sixties wanting to look and feel like the best version of themselves. Each and every one looked one hundred percent different, and one hundred percent of the time they all left feeling like the made a really great choice. With that being said, I would like to show some of my favorite styles with the bob, because there really is something for everyone.

Effortlessly Textured Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs

#1: Effortlessly Textured Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs

Thank you for the wave pattern! It looks like it didn’t take too long because of the relaxed feel, but it is still pretty structured, which shows that you thought this out. The bangs are spot on, because they split around the nose and move to the sides at cheekbone level. If your hair is medium to thick, this texture is pretty easy to get with some texturizing spray and a little scrunching while blow drying. The warm tones give it a nice lived in glow that adds depth, which is great because you don’t have to fully color it, and you won’t have to sit in the salon every six weeks if you don’t like that.

#2: Subtle Layered Lob with Natural Curtain Bangs


This haircut does give an organized feeling. The bangs have a natural curtain look, which is a good thing. You want to create some mystery as to whether you have bangs, or if your hair just naturally falls like that. You might miss the subtle layers, but it allows for way more movement than expected. This is one of those haircuts where I would tell someone to just go live their life, because it really doesn’t need a ton of upkeep. The multi-dimensional color is working quietly to add depth and avoid the look of, “I just got my hair done!”

Platinum Blonde Lob with Subtle Curtain Bangs

#3: Platinum Blonde Lob with Subtle Curtain Bangs


I want to be honest and say upfront that platinum is never the casual choice, and this is a commitment. For this, you have to come to my chair a decent amount for things like purple shampoo, bond-building treatments, etc etc. But it is stunning, and there’s really nothing else like it. The bangs are left light and wispy so that they don’t look too heavy with the pale color, and silvery undertones really pop in natural light and add a ton of dimensionality so it doesn’t look flat. This is a great blueprint for how to do it if you’ve got fine hair and been thinking about going platinum.

Brunette Lob with Blended Silvery Highlights

#4: Brunette Lob with Blended Silvery Highlights


I often suggest this look when a client knows that they want a change, but can’t articulate it. The brunette base is grounding and familiar, but light silvery highlights give a modern twist. This look is polished, not stiff, and with the curtain bangs, it keeps it soft around the face. Highlights like these are great for creating the illusion of fullness since the eye sees more hair with the variation in color. The downside is that you will need to maintain the color, so plan for touch-ups every eight to ten weeks to keep it looking intentional.

Warm Auburn Lob with Textured Waves and Curtain Bangs

#5: Warm Auburn Lob with Textured Waves and Curtain Bangs


Depending on the lighting, Auburn can seem to be a very different color. I love to see it on the right person. It’s warm enough to bring out the golden and pink undertones in the skin. This is especially the case for people whose skin makes those tones more prominent. The cut is quite generous so I would say this one needs a curling wand, or some braiding overnight to keep the waves going between washes as the cut is quite forgiving.

The curtain bangs are layered, rather than blunt, so when you want to, they’ll just blend back in with the rest of the hair. The textured waves give it energy and lengthwise it’s just right enough to sit above the shoulders so you can pull it back when you need. I would say this one needs a curling wand or some braiding overnight to keep the waves going between washes.

#6: Softly Tapered Chocolate Lob with Neat Curtain Bangs


The lob we are describing here creates the image of both a boardroom and a sunday brunch event, and we think that’s pretty special. Each of the sides is perfectly clean in structure, while the bangs gently curve just above the brow, effortlessly drawing people in. I have suggested this hairstyle to numerous clients in the business industry, and they absolutely love how it appears sophisticated and corporate, yet they don’t have to spend 40 mins styling it every single morning. On top of all that, this lovely chocolate color is sophisticated enough to match the simplicity of the hairstyle, which is a very important factor to consider. When you keep it so clean and simple, the color is an important part of the equation.

Sleek Chestnut Lob with Precise Curtain Bangs

#7: Sleek Chestnut Lob with Precise Curtain Bangs


It’s the attention to detail that sells this look. When bangs are so cleanly cut and a lob has a line that intentional, the end result may look effortless, but a good deal of thought went into it. It is one of those styles that makes one appreciate the artistry involved. The chestnut color is warm enough that it hits the mark with not too harsh, and the subtle layering around the face opens everything beautifully. As a word of caution, precise bangs like this will need a trim every three to four weeks, because once they get even slightly long, the entire intention of the cut flips. That said, if you’re willing to come in for a lot of bang trims, the rest of the upkeep is super chill.

Deep Midnight Lob with Integrated Curtain Bangs

#8: Deep Midnight Lob with Integrated Curtain Bangs


I admire how prominent the color is. This cut looks expensive with the added detail of the rich and glossy tint of black. The bangs are also blended in which causes no lines to be showing where they start, which is wonderful. I appreciate the lack of being too showy with the boldness of the black. The length also sits just below the shoulders so you have styling options and the overall silhouette is simple enough to not hinder you every morning. If your natural hair color is significantly lighter than black, then you will have to do root touch-ups, but the cut itself will be minimal on maintenance.

#9: Light Ash Blonde Lob with Flowy Curtain Bangs


I tell my clients considering ash blonde hair that yes, ash is one of the coolest tones available, but it does tend to fade warm, and it means you may have to come in regularly for toning. With that in mind, look at this. The flowy bangs soften what could be a very sharp, angry look, and the darker roots left undone provide some ground and depth. If you have fine hair and you’ve been worried about a lob being limp, this is a perfect example of how the right bang and the right texture can make everything feel fuller and more dynamic than it is.

Subtly Tousled Chestnut Lob with Gentle Curtain Bangs

#10: Subtly Tousled Chestnut Lob with Gentle Curtain Bangs


I love the serenity of this one. The layers build gently around the face adding volume, without the chunky dated look of layers. The chestnut color works nicely for warmth, the kind of color that makes your skin look like you just got back from a long weekend somewhere nice. A little mousse through damp hair and you’re away. This is the lob I’d give someone who wants to look good without having to think about their hair, which is a perfectly valid thing to want.

Rich Copper Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs

#11: Rich Copper Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs


I am loving copper hair at the moment! It’s such a gorgeous color and really brightens up the mood of those around you, especially if they have lighter skin tones. I also like how soft the curtain bangs are. They’re not really bold bangs, but a nice soft frame to the face so the color really gets to do the talking. The length at the shoulders gives you lots of options and the color will add some personality to your hair no matter how you choose to style it. Whether you keep it straight, add some light waves or go for loose curls will all alter the appearance of the haircut. It’s worth remembering that colors like this will fade eventually, but you can enjoy having such a beautiful hair color for the time being.

Sleek Mocha Lob with Seamless Curtain Bangs

#12: Sleek Mocha Lob with Seamless Curtain Bangs


The best way to describe this haircut is ‘polished’. Everything about this is intentional and smooth. The bangs merging into the sides to the nice clean cut ends, it’s all so neat.nnIf you have straight hair and want a cut that looks done for a long time with no effort, this is your cut. The mocha color is classy and won’t put you to sleep. It’s got the perfect warmth to keep things interesting depending on the lighting.nnI would recommend a flat iron if your hair has any natural waves or frizz because this cut is all about being sleek.

Polished Jet-Black Lob with Sweeping Curtain Bangs
Instagram: lazydaisyhair

#13: Polished Jet-Black Lob with Sweeping Curtain Bangs


Shiny and healthy black hair always looks good. The hair’s straightness and density allows the cut to work without obstruction. The bangs are wide enough to soften the forehead and light enough to move freely. Not all styles can say this, but this one looks great in real life and in photos. If your natural color is much lighter, root touch ups may need to be considered. If you are naturally dark-haired, then this style is low maintenance.

Chic Bronzed Lob with Curtain Bangs
Instagram: kiyo_meynewyork

#14: Chic Bronzed Lob with Curtain Bangs


This one’s brand tone resembles bronzed late afternoon sunlight and is ideal for warmer skin tones. The cut is quite uncomplicated, a neat lob with curtain bangs, and just the ideal quantity of layering so it doesn’t sit too flat and keeps it more confident than boring. If you live in a humid area, the bangs might reach your limit because they might prefer their own style, but a quick pass with a round brush during your blow-dry fixes that rather effortlessly.

Golden Lob with Feathered-Cut Curtain Bangs
Instagram: jeaninadanek

#15: Golden Lob with Feathered-Cut Curtain Bangs


I enjoy the feathering detail on this style. The softness and lightness of the ends and bangs add a nice bounciness and airiness to the style. This can be great for those whose hair feels heavy and weighed down. The angled layers encourage hair to move naturally, and wash and go’s will still give great movement. This style has a moderate density, and product and maintenance requirements are minimal. The only thing to consider is the fringe; keeping the bangs shaped requires trims every now and then.

Chic Lob with Playful Pink Accents
Instagram: _joy_hair_.ivey

#16: Chic Lob with Playful Pink Accents


I can’t wait for the surprise that awaits the person when they walk in. The gradient from natural brown to pink tips looks quite restrained so it might seem intentional and artistic, instead of just a costume. The lob itself is textured enough with light feathering to keep it soft and nice. Here’s the thing with vivid colors on the ends, it fades. It noticeably fades. If you like the bright and fresh version of this, you’re going to need to come in more often, or just invest in some color depositing products to stretch it out in between appointments. It’s honestly so nice to look at for the few weeks when it’s at it’s best.

Rich Espresso Lob with Subtle Curtain Bangs
Instagram: hairhag

#17: Rich Espresso Lob with Subtle Curtain Bangs


A clean lob with a light espresso looks wonderful together. It does not try to wow you in any way. It is trying to be pretty, and it is. The bangs here are almost non-existent, just enough to soften the line and not become a whole thing every morning. This works especially well with straight medium density hair as the hair texture allows the color to really shine. If your hair is more on the textured or curly side you may need to put in a bit more effort to achieve a smooth finish. However, the cut is adaptable.

Glossy Caramel Lob with Voluminous Curtain Bangs
Instagram: hairbykellymoses

#18: Glossy Caramel Lob with Voluminous Curtain Bangs


What stands out most to me about these bangs is the volume. They are big and sweeping, but not in a dated way, which is not as easy to achieve as it seems. The caramel color shines and looks healthy as if the hair is well conditioned. The shoulder-length cut is at that ideal length where it’s long enough to feel feminine, but short enough to be easy. This is a cut that works best for medium to thick hair as it holds its shape well between visits. You’ll need to keep an eye on the bangs though. Because they are so full, they will quickly show growth.

#19: Soft Caramel Waves with Blended Curtain Fringe


No matter how you style it this fringe blends effortlessly looks like it belongs there. Caramel hues are warm and soft and complement your complexion without overpowering it. If you have fine hair and want more volume and texture these waves provide that with little to no styling needed. The overall look and shoulder length cut will keep your morning routine simple and will allow you to go from day to night without needing to change it.

Sleek Onyx Lob with Delicate Curtain Bangs
Instagram: gracesonhair

#20: Sleek Onyx Lob with Delicate Curtain Bangs


Everything about this look is intentional, and the outcome speaks for itself. The onyx color is certainly rich, the cut is exact, and the curtain bangs are the right amount of impact. They don’t take away from the rest of the look, which is great. I appreciate how this style is subtle, because it’s true that the best haircuts mute your face to let it do the talking. For those with finer hair, I suggest keeping a lightweight volumizing spray handy so that the hair doesn’t look lacking in volume by the end of the day.

#21: Classic Brunette Lob with Airy Curtain Bangs


These bangs have an ‘airiness’ which adds a modern touch and prevents them from looking too heavy. The bangs also pull away from the face to provide more definition to the cheekbones and give the jaws a softer look. The rich tone of the brunette color helps in the fullness illusion by making the hair look thicker. The mid-length style looks good as it allows the ends of the hair to be crisp and structured which helps in defining the shape of the hairstyle. If your hair has a medium texture, then doing this at home won’t be difficult. You will need to thin the bangs as they will grow out, but the right length can be maintained by using a round brush with a hair dryer.

Textured Golden Lob with Soft Feathered Bangs

#22: Textured Golden Lob with Soft Feathered Bangs


This is a nice color and cut combination. I think the bang and golden color look really young and fun. The cut will also suit you best if you have naturally wavy hair because you won’t have to work against your cut. To achieve the wavy look, you could air dry your hair or use a curling wand on a few pieces. Just so you know, the golden color will change over time with sun exposure. If you like to keep your color the same, you should keep that in mind.

Sunkissed Beige Lob with Face-Framing Bangs
Instagram: curtain_bangs

#23: Sunkissed Beige Lob with Face-Framing Bangs


The collarbone is the perfect length for hair. It’s long enough to be put back, but short enough that it doesn’t feel like you’re managing a ton of hair. The neutral beige is modern. It’s not a blonde or a brunette, but it’s a little of both and surprisingly pairs with a lot of different skin tones. The face framing curtain bangs shift the focus up and do wonders for the overall look. The shape created with mid to thick hair is super nice and should last all day and the bangs will only need a quick touch up in the morning.

Vibrant Red and Ash Gray Lob with Curtain Bangs
Instagram: catnip_cuts

#24: Vibrant Red and Ash Gray Lob with Curtain Bangs


In my opinion, this is not for any weak-hearted people. I think the grey and red combination is very creatively processed, and I think it is even worthy of the creative risk. Moreover, the bangs give the costume effect confidence, and avoid that feeling of the costumes. I know there is some really good clever layering, and the hair will shift and move. I think it is so hard to represent it in a still image, but I can see that it is so good in real life. I really appreciate the maint3nance, and I know that both colors will take some work to keep looking fresh and still vivid. If you are someone that enjoys the work to maintain a creative color, I think it will be very rewarding.

#25: Brunette Lob with Soft Fringe and Layered Waves


Some hairstyles work with your routine since there is no need to rethink or re-style them constantly. This is one of those hairstyles! The soft fringe is subtle, the layers in the waves gives movement but not in a way that looks too ‘done’ and the dark brunette is a colour that looks good even while it’s growing out and there is very little in between salon visits. It stays practical and professional and is a hairstyle I often recommend to clients who have busy lives and little patience for lengthy morning routines.

Elegant Chestnut Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs

#26: Elegant Chestnut Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs


This cut has a lot of techniques that may be easy to miss. For instance, some layers have been placed to remove some weight where the style would drag it down, yet enough is preserved for it to appear full. The chestnut color adds some nice subtle dimension to the style, and the curtain bangs add softness… I honestly think they make someone look younger in the best way. The bangs will need a bit of styling to hold that shape, which is easy and just a round brush when you blow dry them, but the rest of the cut is pretty low maintenance. The overall look is meant to appear effortless. It really is one of those cuts that works because everything about it works.

#27: Cascading Multitone Lob with Soft Fringes


I adore the tonal work done here! The combination of natural and caramel colors creates beautiful dimension. It captures and reflects the light in different ways throughout the day. I tend to notice clients feel that multi-tonal colors like this add more personality to their hair and also “ages” more gracefully because with the different tones when the hair grows out the roots blend in and look less obvious.
Curtain bangs tend to draw the focus down to the center of your face. If you want to distract from a wider forehead, it’s good for balancing. The layered waves will need some salon maintenance to keep the shape and layers but this is the type of haircut that does really well with second and even third day hair between appointments.

Effortlessly Chic Blonde Lob with Feathered Ends
Instagram: alexisraquelhair

#28: Effortlessly Chic Blonde Lob with Feathered Ends


What makes this haircut unique is the feathering at the ends. Otherwise it would simply be a blonde lob, but the feathered ends add a lightweight, airy touch to the hairstyle. Feathered ends are especially helpful for those with fine to medium hair. It adds a bit more texture and volume also without adding weight. These ends are especially great for collarbone length hair and keep it looking versatile, plus the curtain bangs really soften the overall look. Lighter blonde hair tends to require more up keep than darker shades so plan on visiting the salon for toning and maintenance more often than those with darker hair. But based on your coloring, this look is definitely worth the price.

Modern Blunt Lob with Curtain Bangs

#29 Modern Blunt Lob with Curtain Bangs

I can see why the style of curtain bangs combined with a clean blunt cut works. The bangs are soft while the blunt edge(s) are sharp. The contrast of the two elements complement one another. The cut sits right above the shoulders and feels modern and intentional. The structure is neat and smooth with nice layering at the ends, giving, movement, so it doesn’t look stiff. This cut is ideal if you want to keep your hair low maintenance. Just be ready to do some bang trimming every once in a while.

Chic Layered Lob with Curtain Bangs

#30 Chic Layered Lob with Curtain Bangs

Their movement is done effortlessly. The cut is laid out to feel unforced. This gives the style a relaxed look even though the shape is intentional. Bangs and layers frame the face perfectly making this style work for almost any shape. The style creates a volume and texture illusion to those with fine to medium hair. The bangs do require some maintenance but the everyday look will be easy.

Warm Brown Textured Lob with Curtain Bangs

#31 Warm Brown Textured Lob with Curtain Bangs

I appreciate everything the texture in this cut does. The ends have layers that give it a bounce, even on days where styling isn’t a priority. The warm brown color has a lovely glow and will look especially good on golden or olive undertones. The curtain bangs hit perfectly to where they frame the face and aren’t too much of a block. I would recommend keeping up with regular trims on this style, not because it falls apart without them, and it’s not that they will go bad, but the shape will look so good when it’s freshly done and you’ll want to keep it like that.

Textured Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs

#32 Textured Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs

If you have fine hair that feels like it just lays there, then this is the cut for you! This style is meant to increase volume and movement to your hair’s natural texture. It also features soft curtain bangs that are face-framing and complete the look. The mid-length is easy to maintain, and when paired with gloss, you’ll go from great to glowing! For defined waves, you’ll need to use some product (or quickly run through your hair with hot tools), but the effort will reward you with a great look!

Classic Sleek Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs

#33 Classic Sleek Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs

This makes me think of a person with a lot of class, and a great sense of style. I appreciate the fact this is not a superficial cut done just for the sake of looking modern – ‘clean cut’ kind of describes this the best. The soft bangs and the nice shoulder length blunt cut (line cut) are so well done that they ‘speak’ for themselves and the shape does all the talking. This cut would be ideal if you are after some subtle highlights, and are wanting to colour your hair. Because of the cut’s simplicity, any colour you add will be the focus and not get lost competing with layers or texture.

Textured Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs and Warm Highlights

#34 Textured Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs and Warm Highlights

This hairstyle is playful, especially with the warm highlights woven throughout the waves. The bangs add to the overall playful look by separating the features with a bit of certainty and texture. The cut is deeper with a little overage to add volume and depth to the waves. Ideal with a little attention, maybe a few minutes to mess with a spray or diffuse to give it some extra texture, but it also looks good if you just don’t care and go full air dry.

Warm Textured Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs

#35 Warm Textured Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs

Looking at this cut, you can tell how soft it is. The layers give movement without adding bulk, and the curtain bangs are swept soft and flattering for oval and heart shapes. It is the kind of cut I would do on someone who wants to look polished, but not as though they are trying too hard. The warmth in the color is subtle, but has a big impact, and with the texture you won’t have to use much product to give it some life. Just stay on top of your trims so the split ends don’t ruin the nice clean shape and let it do its thing.

Softly Layered Lob with Face-Framing Curtain Bangs

#36 Softly Layered Lob with Face-Framing Curtain Bangs

The face-framing bangs will hit at cheekbone level. This placement is great as it draws attention to the center and adds great balance. The gentle layers won’t drown out finer hair types and the length looks modern without being too severe. I value a haircut that has a polished appearance with the minimal effort required which I find myself recommending more often. It will require a touch more styling work (especially in the bangs), but the shape overall is quite nice.

Softly Curled Lob with Curtain Bangs

#37 Softly Curled Lob with Curtain Bangs

I have always liked how soft curls add personality to a lob that you wouldn’t get with straight styling. These curtain bangs finish the look and it keeps it from being too casual and the curls really add dimension and bounce to the hairstyle. If you have fine to medium hair, these curls should take no more than 15 minutes with a medium-barrel curling iron. If you are going to wear this style, avoid humidity. A light anti-humidity spray is a must!

Softly Layered Lob with Textured Curtain Bangs

#38 Softly Layered Lob with Textured Curtain Bangs

I really appreciate the bangs breaking symmetry because it’s intentional and not an accident. The added highlights are good, and I love the extra dimension it brings to the layered cut without overwhelming it. I love this kind of layering for fine and medium hair because it gives an effortless feeling to layered hair. The length and style may look like a random choice but it is still practical enough to work for a day to day routine. Just a warning to those with fine hair, if you don’t put in some product and blow dry it to keep your hair big, you’ll lose that volume by the end of the day.

Chic Textured Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs

#39 Chic Textured Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs

This haircut has a lot of texture so it will have great movement, and the curtain bangs will add softness, balancing the lob’s overall structure. This is the type of haircut you can run your fingers through, and it will perfectly fall back into place. That is one of the biggest compliments you can give a haircut. It works across a lot of face shapes since the bangs plus texture do flexible framing that compliments and doesn’t overpower. Maintenance is pretty easy, just trimming the bangs and keeping the length in check.

Textured Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs and Subtle Highlights

#40 Textured Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs and Subtle Highlights

This style embodies a soft and airy elegance. It makes the hair look so good, it’ll make you want to touch it! Although this may seem odd, it describes the combination of a good haircut and healthy hair. It also appears that the highlights and waves are natural and effortless. The shoulder grazing length provides so many styling options without the hair needing to look complete. It’s a great style for fine hair as it demonstrates how the right cut and some perfectly placed highlights can create the illusion of fullness and a lot of movement.

Effortlessly Textured Lob with Face-Framing Curtain Bangs

#41 Effortlessly Textured Lob with Face-Framing Curtain Bangs

The balayage creates an effortless look that seems like it has been sun-kissed. The face-framing curtain bangs add to the overall texture of the haircut creating a more solid look overall. This type of layering and shoulder length hair is particularly good for those with fine hair as it provides good volume and the cut is lovely and clean. If your hair is frizzy you’ll want to use a smoothing product. However, this is a hairstyle that you can leave alone for a while between washes.

Effortlessly Chic Wavy Lob with Curtain Bangs

#42 Effortlessly Chic Wavy Lob with Curtain Bangs

When you have thick, wavy hair, lobs create magic. What can feel like an overwhelming mass when the hair is longer becomes the perfect amount of body and movement when cut into a lob. These curtain bangs highlight the cheekbones and complement the wave pattern while capturing the intentionality of the look. A balayage will do even more by highlighting the waves and adding movement with light as it dances off different tones. Most important to manage is the length of the bangs. With this level of natural texture, they will grow out much quicker than expected.

Freshly Cut Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs

#43 Freshly Cut Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs

Getting a lob hairstyle is trendy, and it becomes even sleeker and more polished with the use of a straightener. A professional look is complemented by hair that falls effortlessly into place, and when hair is straight, the gradient highlights look smooth and give a pop of variation. If you have fine hair, then you may need more than just hairspray, so try root-boosting product and blow-dry the hair to keep it looking voluminous and refreshed. Overall, the hairstyle is intentional and professional, and it will look great from every angle.

Timeless Textured Lob with Subtle Curtain Bangs

#44 Timeless Textured Lob with Subtle Curtain Bangs

This one looks great especially with the gray. To me, it looks like a fresh color service and not an attempted cover up. It is highlighting what is good and looks nice and classy. I like this color strategy because it works as the hair moves. The length is just above the collarbone which provides a nice classy proportion. The curtain bangs are just the right length so they don’t distract from the rest of the haircut. With hair like this, fine and straight, It just sits nice and looks better with the layering because it adds some texture to the hair that it otherwise wouldn’t have. If you’re going lighter or blending gray, expect a bit more maintenance to keep everything looking polished.

Warm Copper Textured Lob with Face-Framing Curtain Bangs

#45 Warm Copper Textured Lob with Face-Framing Curtain Bangs

Copper tones are particularly rich and beautiful, however, when layered they can be made into quite a diverse array of textures and finishes, creating light- reflecting effects that are not flat. The natural curtain bangs provide a soft gentle frame to the face and don’t pull all the attention to them selves. Sheer hair works especially nicely with this because the colour and texture can really fool the eye into looking much more voluminous and fluid than you actually possess. The fading of the rose-gold copper colour is a trade- off. Copper can fade at times beautifully into softer rose-gold hues, while at other times and less favourable stages of decay. Keeping your colour up is all part of the deal.

Sleek and Modern Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs

#46 Sleek and Modern Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs

It may not scream for attention, however, it certainly gets there, due to how all of the details have been executed to perfection. Dark brown is an expensive looking color and the subtle shiny gloss adds to this further. The soft bangs add a touch of personality so that the haircut doesn’t come across as boring. Collar bone length hair is easy to manage and works for most people, and fine hair is polished and looks good rather than looking thin, which is the aim of a good haircut. All this haircut really asks of you is a round brush and hair dryer for a few minutes over the bangs every morning.

Contemporary Feathered Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs

#47 Contemporary Feathered Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs

Contemporary feathered layering is vastly different from 20 years ago. This example captures a look that isn’t nostalgic, but rather current. The movement feels airy and natural. The bangs are soft and not excessively wispy and the length is shoulder grazing which is universally practical. It is relaxed while still looking put together, which is a hard balance to achieve. The bangs will require maintenance as they grow out, however, the body of the cut feathered layers are fairly forgiving when it comes to time between trims.

Textured Long Lob with Fluffy Curtain Bangs

#48 Textured Long Lob with Fluffy Curtain Bangs

These bangs have an adorable fluffy quality, and I mean that literally. There is enough fullness for a real presence, and enough softness for natural movement to give the whole style a youthful and inviting Energy. The length goes just past the shoulders which is ideal long bob territory if you want to hold on to the length and aren’t quite ready to go shorter. The slight wave at the mid to end creates and sustains the texture that you need to match the fullness of the bangs, and the result is oh-so-flattering. Honestly, regular bang trims are going to be a must to ensure the proportions are spot on.

Textured Lob with Face-Framing Curtain Bangs

#49 Textured Lob with Face-Framing Curtain Bangs

Shoulder-length cuts look light and airy. The simple slight layers create movement without added weight, and the effortless feel is also effortless to maintain. A little mousse in damp hair and some air drying or diffusing will do the trick! Most of the effort is going to be needed for bangs, and that is totally worth it for a good face frame. It’s a quick salon visit, and the bangs won’t trim themselves!

Stylish Choppy Lob with Curtain Bangs

#50 Stylish Choppy Lob with Curtain Bangs

I enjoy the choppy style; it adds uniqueness to the cut. The bangs give the cut a softer look, while the uneven layers add texture and depth. The balayage adds shine and depth to the color and lets the shiny color play off the choppy layers. This layering works well on thick hair because it removes the weight while still maintaining the volume. The natural waves in the hair will make styling easy. To maintain a choppy look, regular trims will be required. It will look intentional if you let it grow too much.
