What is Curtain Bang?

A Curtain bang is a slightly long bang that will be positioned on each side of the face to give this “curtain” effect. We generally keep our parting well in the middle to bring symmetry to the bangs. Concretely, it is characterized by a movement on each side of the face (hence its name curtain), a different length (shorter in the middle of the face, longer on the sides). It can start from the middle of the forehead and go all the way to the eyebrows. It is thus opposed to the short fringe and the right fringe. The curtain fringe is perfect for those who dream of a fringe without its disadvantages because it is worn without difficulty and is easily styled." It is also very trendy, especially with the great return of the shag cut, a gradient all in volume inspired by the '70s, effect "capped/disheveled.

How To Cut & Style Curtain Bangs By Yourself?

Curtain Bang is a style that all face shapes and hair textures can wear. They're an easy way to elegantly frame a face when the rest of the hair is up, or enhance loose hairstyles with a low cut. Therefore, curtain bang has become a hairstyle staple in just recent years. However, as bangs, you want to maintain their beauty, and frequent trimming is necessary to avoid the new length of hair from ruining the original look. Luckily cutting your own curtain bangs doesn't need to be that hard it's actually quite a simple thing to do and we are going to show you how to cut curtain bangs at home, as well as show you how to style your bangs because that is also a very important thing to know in order to make the bangs look good.

Tools To Prepare

So in order to cut yourself some beautiful curtain bangs, you're going to need some tools:

• A Comb (one side with very close teeth and one with separated teeth)

• A Cutting Scissor

• A couple of clips (also can use a scrunchie a hair tie anything like that will that be fine)

• A spray bottle with water (for wetting your hair before cutting)

Now Let's cut and style our own curtain bangs:

Step 1 - Wet your curtain bangs

The hair for this cut should be damp but wrung out. Therefore, you can use a vaporizer to mist your hair with water if you haven't just washed it, it is essential that our hair is damp and we dry it little by little with a towel to remove excess water. Then, we will begin to comb it with the help of a finite comb so that it is completely smooth and it is easier to calculate the height by which the bangs should be cut.

Step 2 - Part Your Front Hair and Sperate Front Strands Out

Now we will proceed to draw a line in the middle and separate it by drawing a triangle in the part corresponding to the bangs. Don't be in a hurry. Take your time and when you're ready, we'll move on to the next step. Start by parting your hair from the middle of your forehead, then part your hair on the sides two or three inches (up to you depending on how thick you want them and depending on how thin your hair is naturally) toward the back of your head. At the top, the front wicks must separate into a point that falls equally on both sides, forming a sort of rounded triangle shape. In other words, drawing a straight line with the comb would be the worst thing to do.

Take note of how the hair has been divided into the curtain-making hair and the hair that is fastened. This is what will make the difference between an effect that succeeds and one that fails. So don't be in a hurry, take your time, and when you're ready, then move on to the next step.

Step 3 - Tie or Clip The Hair Back Except for The Front Strands

Tie or clip down your hair, leaving only the front strands that you have separated by making a curtain bang on the scalp.

Step 4 - How To Cut Curtain Bang

• Separate the front strands into three equal front strands.

• Grab the wick from the front, pull well so that it is smooth, and cut just below the nostrils.

• Bring back the second strands and do the same by cutting at the level of the mouth, where the two lips meet.

• Finally, bring back the remaining two strands and cut them off at the chin/jaw.

• To even out the hairstyle and avoid the stairs effect, separate the two fringes to start placing the curtain. Place one side between two fingers, smoothing each side well like a fan.

• Slide the scissors from top to bottom, diagonally to maintain the gradient effect while eliminating angles.

• Pass the chisel as many times as necessary to harmonize the fringe, taking care not to cut the strands of the center too short.

Avoid cutting the bangs with very marked lines because the curtain bangs should be soft and weathered, and it is also important that once this step is finished you comb the strands again to measure them well and trim them in the same way until the desired length is obtained.

Step 5 - Blow Dry Your Curtain Bangs

On damp hair, spray a spray that provides volume and dries 90%. Then, place a round brush above the fringe, stuck to the roots. Slide it to the tip, turning it back on the way, while propelling hot air with the dryer. You can also do it with an airbrush. Finally, arrange it with your fingers to open it in the center.

Step 6 - How To Style Your Curtain Bangs

Forget the straightener that will ruin all your efforts for a beautiful curtain fringe with volume! To style it well, there is only one method: the hair dryer! And do not panic for those who do not know how to blow dry, there is nothing simpler. Arm yourself with a beautiful round brush that you position against the scalp, behind the fringe. Heat with the help of the hair dryer so that the fringe goes well back. As you fall back, it will create the perfect wave that you can then reposition perfectly on either side of the face.

Step 7 - How To Curl Your Curtain Bangs

Curl Curtain Bangs for Curly Hair

If you have curly hair the trick is not to put the round brush inside the bangs. Ideally, the bangs should be stuck to the root and open at the tip. For that you have to pass the round brush over your hair, pushing at the root and giving a little shape at the tip. That is, first you smooth forward by gluing the bangs to the forehead and then down to the tip to shape it, on one side and on the other.

Curl Curtain Bangs for Straight Hair

Then you can put into practice the trick of the wet prick so that the bangs are stuck on the root and the split tip. We advise doing it with your fingers and the dryer, making that kind of pinch on the root while you dry it. Hair becomes tamable. If you draw it with your fingers while drying it, the bangs take that shape. You have to make the gesture of sticking it to the root while you dry it, placing it in the center, and opening it with your fingers. 

Finally, it's time to finish the hairstyle with the magic touch: "use a good volumizing spray and dry the hair back away from the face to stylize it. If you follow these steps to the letter we are sure that you will achieve curtain bangs worthy of any stylist. And if you do not want to risk it, there will always be the option of going to a salon.
