Long hair with curtain bangs is popular for its face-framing feature. The cut has a considerable length that grazes past your mid-back. And, you know what it’s best for? Versatility!
These sorts of bangs look like the curtains in the theatre. The strands are shorter in the middle and get longer towards the sides.
“A long hairstyle is a great way to introduce yourself to bangs,” says hairstylist Skye of London, UK. If it’s not for you, let it grow out. If you love the result, maintain the cut.
To know how long your bangs should be, always consider the length of your tresses. For instance, if the hair is waist-length, the bangs would better be chin-length.
Skye adds, “The curtain fringe sits better when they are cheekbone-length.” It emphasizes the cheekbones and lifts any woman’s face.
Feel free to consult a professional. Ask whether your preferred cut and length suit your face shape, features, and hair type. Like Skye says, “You want it to be easy enough to maintain and to look stunning.”
Middle-parted bangs need more upkeep than your lengthy locks. All you need is a quick blast with a hairdryer to remove any kinks or bends, but it’s more than doing nothing at all.
