Are you thinking of getting curtain bangs but you're not sure if they'll look good on your oval face? Rest assured, curtain bangs can look great on oval faces! In fact, oval faces are considered the most versatile face shape, allowing for a variety of hairstyles to suit them.
How to
Before getting curtain bangs, it's important to consult with your hairstylist to determine if the style will suit your face shape and hair type. Once you've decided to go for it, here are some steps to consider:
1. Choose the right length
The length of your curtain bangs will depend on your personal preference and the shape of your face. For oval faces, shorter bangs that hit above the eyebrows can accentuate your features and add some dimension to your hair. Longer bangs that graze your cheekbones can also work well.
2. Consider your hair texture
If you have straight hair, curtain bangs can be easily styled with a round brush and blow dryer. If you have wavy or curly hair, you may need to use a flat iron to smooth out your bangs. It's important to use heat protectant products to prevent damage to your hair.
3. Choose the right part
Curtain bangs are characterized by their center part, which frames the face. However, depending on your face shape, you may want to consider a side part to balance out your features.
Step by step
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to style your curtain bangs:
1. Start with clean, dry hair
Wash and dry your hair before styling your bangs. Use a heat protectant spray if using heat tools.
2. Section off your hair
Separate your bangs from the rest of your hair using a comb or your fingers.
3. Style with a round brush
Using a round brush, blow dry your bangs, starting at the roots and working your way down. Repeat until your bangs are dry and styled.
