Long curtain bangs are a middle-parted fringe that grazes the cheekbones. They frame the face and give any haircut softness. Plus, they’re low-commitment and easier to grow out.
Before your next hair appointment, check out these photos of the best ways to get long curtain bangs right now.
#1: Long for Fine Hair
Bringing the element of bangs to fine hair can be a great tool for adding body to the style. Depending on the style, a long curtain fringe can also frame the face. This is a great style for long hair, wanting some movement without a big fringe maintenance.
#2: Gorgeous Long Butterfly Cut
Hairstylist’s number one rule for curtain bangs is to start with long hair versus short hair. That way, the stylist can establish the best length for your face shape. This length can complement and highlight your features.
#3: Internal Layering
Inquire about adding internal layering. The layers are seamless and airy. These layers blend well, integrating the fringe into your overall style. If you prefer, you can go longer or shorter with the layers. You’ll want to tailor the length of the layers based on what fits your hair texture.
#4: Rounded Short Bob
When you choose a curtain fringe, try to soften and round your hair to match the style.
#5: Darker Toned Fringe
A darker-toned fringe is an attractive style. The veiled face will give you a mysterious vibe. Ask for your curtain fringe to be cut at the bridge of your nose and angled towards the lip. The rest of the hair can contain minimal layering. Blow dry your fringe down with just the ends flitting backward. Have your stylist tone your blonde with an all-over sealer for the perfect blend.
#6: Cute Short Bob with Long Curtain Bangs
Try this cute short bob with long curtain bangs. This hairdo adds an air of elegance, while the long bangs frame your face perfectly. To get this cut, ask your stylist to cut your hair into a neat bob that sits just above your shoulders. Then ask for long, sweeping curtain bangs that part in the middle and fall on either side of your face.
#7: Stunning Collarbone-Length Layered Cut Blended with Long Curtain Bangs
This collarbone-length layered cut is perfect for framing your face. You’ll love how the long curtain bangs blend seamlessly with the layers, creating a soft, elegant look.
#8: Bright Creamy Blonde Blowout
Try a bright, creamy blonde blowout. If you need a style with a lot of body, ask for a blowout with big shapely curls. This can be achieved with round brushes that are heated up with the blowdryer. Then hit your hair with a cool shot to lock in the style. After each section, the stylist can clip the section in a pinned curl until finished. This way, it has a longer time to set the style. Finish with O&M Queenie Firm Hold Hair Spray for an all-day hold.
#9: Naturally Salt-and-Pepper Medium Haircut
A layered cut is the perfect look if you’re embracing your natural blend of gray. It will allow you to stay stylish. This cut pairs nicely with all face shapes. It works best for those with thicker hair textures and gives a classic style that will stay updated for a while. To keep your curtain bangs in place, use a strong hold hairspray. Try Oribe Superfine Hairspray, and brush them into place after they are dry.
#10: Classic Long Round Layers
If you’re interested in getting classic long-rounded layers, add curtain bangs. They seamlessly blend with your hair length and texture. A layered look gives the appearance of thicker locks while allowing for flexibility. This is so you can spend less time styling. You need to use a large barrel curling iron or curling flat iron with texturizing products to get this look!
#11: Seamless Layers and Balayage
Long seamless layers and balayage is the spot on combo this year. One of the easiest ways to style it is with a wand twisting away from your face. Pay attention to the curtain bangs though. If not long enough, your best bet is to use a round brush and a dryer to style.
#12: Dimensional Highlights with Curtain Bangs
If you’re looking for a more feathered bang, it’s helpful to layer your client’s fringe. In addition, the best way to stack and add volume is to texturize their ends with a razor or thinning shears. Both help to remove weight. If your client has thinner hair, pull a thicker section out to get the fuller effect. Be mindful of your client’s weight line in the front and not to cut into it if it’s thin.
#13: Blonde Feathered Fringe
The best way to hide a bigger forehead is to add angled bangs. The short to long shaping allows you to switch up you part while still covering you forehead. To avoid flatness, try round brushing your bangs. Pull your hair away from the scalp.
#14: Sultry Fringe for Fine Hair
Fine hair has its pickings of styles, one of which is a sultry fringe. It helps to own a variety of tools and products. A round brush, blow dryer, velcro rollers, clips, and heat protection spray, can help to style. You must consider the level of effort to help evolve this style over the course of wear.
#15: Short Fluffy Blonde Hair
Frame your short, fluffy, blonde hair with fringe. My personal opinion is that curtain bangs can complement any face shape. If you would like your bangs to flair out, an important thing to remember is you will need texture. Use a round brush to style your fringe and give it a beautiful, feathery effect.
#16: Extra Long Curtain Bangs
Consider extra long curtain bangs if you’re in between lengths. Wondering if you should keep them short or grow them out is never easy. I’d opt for the style that allows me to wear it the usual way or both up and down.
#17: Long Curled Curtain Fringe
A long curled curtain fringe exudes sophistication. One of the best ways to add some excitement to your haircut is by adding a bang. I like my clients to tip-toe into bangs with a long curtain fringe or a side bang. The curtain fringe will add shape and show off cheekbones and eyes. Be prepared to style your bangs every day. You’ll want to have your stylist do a run-through with you before leaving the salon.
