In today’s grand scheme, getting textured bangs is a bandwagon most women want to jump on. They’re constantly debating whether it would suit them, especially if they have a round face. Trendy curtain bangs for round face shapes include face-framing layers that elongate the face.
Curtain bangs are wispy layers on both sides of the face, much like curtains frame a window. This type of fringe complements women with a round face quite well. It draws the eyes to the cheeks, giving a mirage of defined cheekbones, a feature most find charming.
Janelle, a master stylist from BC, shares her take on curtain bangs. “The taper out should hit around the cheekbone area to elongate the face,” she says. “I might recommend a layer about an inch or two under the jawline along with them to elongate the face shape.”
She mentioned how curtain bangs grow out less painfully compared to other fringes. “It isn’t too difficult to blend them in and grow them out,” she notes. “They’re easy to manage as long as they’re cut to flatter and are full enough; they must be styled daily and trimmed.”
Janelle suggests styling curtain bangs using a styling cream or volumizer and brush on wash days. She also suggests a quick blow-dry and round brush on non-wash days. Kevin Murphy’s Anti-Gravity spray is a product that Janelle swears by to get a luxe finish to the tresses.
In maintaining curtain bangs, everything depends on how fast your hair growth is. Janelle recommends having your fringe trimmed every 6-8 weeks to maintain its style.
As they say, ‘good hair isn’t by accident. It’s by appointment.’ Before your next salon visit, check these trendy images of curtain bangs for round face shapes.
