What Are Curtain Bangs? 

If you’re wondering what curtain bangs are and how they differ from a full set of bangs, let’s talk about it. Full bangs are usually thick and cut straight across the forehead just below or above the eyebrows. Curtain bangs, however, do not go across the forehead. Instead, they fall to the side and are chin-length. These bangs are usually shorter as they are closer to the face and then longer as they go away from the face. Curtain bangs can be shorter than chin-length — especially for shorter hairstyles — but these bangs usually look great with long layers. Typical bangs come in and out of style, but curtain bangs will always be a hair trend that is more classic and doesn’t look too trendy or seasonal.

How to Create Curtain Bangs and Long Layers 

If you’re wondering how to get curtain bangs and long layers, we highly recommend seeing your hairstylist, who will help you achieve a perfect look. This is how a stylist will give you curtain bangs and long layers when in the salon: 

• Bring in an Inspiration Photo – Search for inspirational pictures that you can bring to your hairstylist. This gives you an idea of the look you want to achieve and allows your stylist to create a look you love. 
• Ensure Hair Is Detangled – Before sectioning your hair and cutting it, your stylist will need to make sure your hair is completely detangled. 
• Part Hair Down the Middle – Curtain bangs are created best with a middle part. So, your stylist will part your hair down the middle to ensure your bangs turn out well. 
• Section Hair – Once the middle part is created, your stylist will collect even portions on each side of your head to create a triangle shape. 
• Begin to Cut – Your stylist will then pull all the hair from the triangle away from your forehead and point cut at an angle while moving the scissors up and down. 
• Define the Bangs – Once your stylist is done with the first phase of cutting your bangs, they will release the bangs and start defining your new curtain bangs. 
• Begin Cutting Long Layers – To create long layers to complement your new curtain bangs, your stylist will start in the center of the front of your head and then move to the back of your head and, lastly, the sides. When your stylist cuts these sections individually, they will angle the hair and their fingers to create beautiful, long layers.
