Curtain bangs are having a moment, and for good reason. They're a low-maintenance way to add a little something special to your hairstyle. But, it can be tough to make curtain bangs look good. Here's how to do it.
Description
Curtain bangs are a type of fringe that frames your face. They're typically parted down the middle, which creates a "curtain" effect. Curtain bangs can work on most hair types, but they're especially flattering on those with longer hair.
How to Make Curtain Bangs Look Good
Step 1: Start with Clean Hair
Before you start styling your curtain bangs, make sure your hair is clean. Use a gentle shampoo and conditioner to keep your hair healthy and shiny.
Step 2: Blow Dry Your Hair
Blow dry your hair and your bangs straight. Use a round brush to add volume and a bit of curl to the ends of your hair. Blow dry your bangs in the direction you want them to fall.
Step 3: Section Your Hair
Part your hair down the middle and separate your bangs from the rest of your hair. Use clips to keep your hair in place while you work on your bangs.
Step 4: Trim Your Bangs
Use sharp scissors to trim your bangs. Start by cutting a little bit at a time. You can always cut more, but you can't put hair back once it's cut. Cut your bangs straight across, and then use the point of your scissors to create a little bit of texture.
Step 5: Style Your Bangs
Use a comb to style your bangs. If you want a little more volume, use a round brush to curl the ends of your bangs. You can also use a flat iron to straighten your bangs.
