If there’s a ’70s hair comeback that we adore, it’s curtain bangs, especially on long hair. Why do we love it? The reasons are infinite.
Curtain bangs help frame the face, drawing attention to the features – eyes and cheekbones in particular. Their main strength is their incredible versatility; they can adapt to any length, hair type, and face shape. In this article, we focus our attention on long curtain bangs. Here’s how to wear them!
What Are Curtain Bangs?
Curtain bangs are a hairstyle that frames faces and softens features. Among the icons who first wore it – making it iconic – is Brigitte Bardot in the 1960s and 1970s. Thanks to the actress, this type of fringe came into the spotlight, becoming an evergreen.
For the fall-winter 2023-24 season, it is back in vogue, as evidenced by the cuts proposed in the collections of the best salons and the looks seen backstage at fashion shows.
The characteristic of the curtain fringe lies in the type of cut: parted in the middle or to the side, it allows hairstylists to remove internal weight and work on it without changing the shape. Here are some hairstyles that demonstrate how curtain bangs are extremely versatile.
