Should You Get Curtain Bangs? | TouchUps Salon (2024)

Do you really want to try out bangs but aren’t exactly to sure where to start, or you’re not positive what bangs would look best on you?

Curtain bangs might be exactly what you’re looking for! They are super cute, extremely versatile, and perfect for all styles!

Curtain bangs have made a leap back into the limelight and are a super popular trend right now!

However, they were originally super popular back in the 70’s and are making a huge comeback! For curtain bangs there are low to high maintenance styles, laid back or elegant, and they are perfect for disguising blemishes!

The Styles!

Curtain bangs look amazing with so many different styles! The messy bun, high ponytail, long bob, the list goes on! With the versatility of this cut alone, it is quite easy to see why its so popular!

You can do it up into a fancier style quite easily, while also taking the same cut and give it a messy casual look.

Curtain bangs dominate social media on the red carpets of Hollywood to your feed on Instagram, everyone is wearing it!

The Maintenance!

Depending on how curtain bangs are cut will decide what kind of maintenance and the effort of styling you will need.

If you enjoy having the more elegant, particular style and cut to your hair, your maintenance and styling are going to be more in depth!

This means more trims and a little more time and product in your morning routine, but trust us, it is totally worth it!

For your morning routine, we recommend getting them wet and then towel drying, and applying Oi All-in-One Milk. This is an awesome leave in conditioner that will leave all of your hair soft and shiny!

If you have difficult to style or strong hair Love Hair Smoother or Relaxing Moisturizing Fluid can help you add some weight to the hair and help calm down unruly textures and cowlicks. The latter being a stronger choice then the former.

If instead you have very fine hair types that need to get pumped up to do anything try a drop of Medium Hold Modeling Gel in the bangs to give them the grip they need to be fun and flipped.

Is your whole head a little lack luster in the volume department? Try using Blowdry Primer throughout before styling. This product has a more matte modern texture then the shiny Medium Hold Modeling Gel and is easy to spray throughout your hair before curling or blowdrying.

Finally a quick spray of Medium Hairspray to lock in those amazing bangs will leave you with an adorable style that will last all day!

After you choose the perfect product to help your hair stay in style then just use a 44mm round brush to blow dry your bangs up and out of your face.

Now part them down the middle and away you go!

Who Should Wear Them?

Let’s be honest, curtain bangs will look great on just about anyone! However, they look extra gorgeous on round and square faces!

This is mostly because they help elongate the appearance of your face. One other thing curtain bangs are amazing at, is covering up your hairline!

So, if you and your hairline don’t get along curtain bangs are the perfect go to! If you still aren’t sure if curtain bangs are a good style for you, it never hurts to come in and talk to one of our stylists!
