Curtain bangs have enjoyed increasing popularity in recent years. The extra long onelayered bangsplays around the face and makes it narrower. But what is the best way to style them? Especially if you have long, straight hair, styling can prove to be a difficult task. We will show you several haircuts and hairstyles that are suitable for everyday use and yet elegant.
Curtain bangs for long and straight hair: This is what you should keep in mind when styling
Short or up to the cheekbones: the hairdressers are enthusiastic about curtain bangs again. The curtain bangs can be adjusted to any face and look great on both women with wide and long faces. The curtain bangs can be styled differently depending on your mood and are for everyone who likes somethingchange her hairstylewant.
With curtain bangs, the bangs are parted in the middle. The length of the fringes varies – the inner ones are short, the outer ones – longer. The curtain bangs can be easily combined with a layered cut where the bangs extend into the length. The trendy hairstyle that fashion icons wore in the 60sBrigitte Bardotshowed for the first time, then fell into oblivion. Until they rediscovered the fashion girls in Great Britain. Perhaps the biggest advantage of the haircut is that it is suitable for everyday use.
For now: Curtain bangs, like all bangs, need to be trimmed regularly. But the monthly visit to the hairdresser is worth it because it means the bangs lie perfectly and you save time when styling.
Style curtain bangs with a hairdryer
The quickest and easiest way is to style the curtain bangs in the morning with a hairdryer and a round brush. It is very important that you wash the bangs first and then comb them. The hair should be slightly damp before styling can begin. Then hold the hair dryer in one hand and the round brush in the other. Place the brush over the hair and twist the bangs outwards, strand by strand. Use hairspray to set the hairstyle.
Curtain bangs for thin hair: This gives the hairstyle more volume
Women with thin hair will benefit from the so-called beach look. Style your hair and bangs with a hot air brush immediately after washing to create more fullness.
Alternatively, you can simply comb your straight hair and blow-dry it overhead, using a hot air brush to turn the bangs slightly outwards against the direction of hair growth.
Properly blow-dry a layered cut with curtain bangs
Blow-dry the layers and curtain bangs outwards to create a playful look à la Farrah Fawcett. Her hairstyle in the 70s made her a role model for millions of women.
Updo with bangs: The stars show the way
Curtain bangs can also compliment updos. You just need to comb the bangs and then possibly twist them inwards.
For more structure, you can fix two strands at the front with hairspray. The updo then looks particularly feminine and elegant.
Ponytail hairstyles also look better when combined with curtain bangs. The bangs should be styled slightly shorter and more voluminous in the middle. The fringes can be longer on the sides to frame the face.
Jennifer Lopez recently debuted the perfect party hairstyle: a casual bun and curtain bangs that fall straight down.
What is an absolute no-go when styling?
There are a few things you should keep in mind when styling the trendy pony hairstyle.
1. Wash the bangs immediately before styling. This way you can give the strands the shape you want. The bangs get dirty quicker than the rest of the hair anyway because we touch them much more often in everyday life. Sometimes because it catches the eyes, sometimes to give it the desired shape. And sometimes just unconsciously.
2. Match the styling of the hairstyle to the styling of the curtain bangs. That means – straight hair, slightly curved strands around the face. Wavy hair – swept-back bangs.
3. Especially if you have straight hair, you should always fix the bangs with hairspray. Otherwise it will quickly lose volume.
4. In wind and rain, the curtain bangs quickly lose their shape. It is therefore much better to wear a hat on these days.
5. Never trim the curtain bangs yourself. As simple as it may seem, oneto cut bangs, is a task for the hairdresser.
