How Do You Use Curtain Bangs with Curlers?

Published in Hair styling 2 mins read

To use curlers with curtain bangs, roll the bangs outwards if they are longer, or inwards if they are shorter (around chin length or shorter).

The primary goal when using curlers on curtain bangs is to achieve the signature swept-back, voluminous look. The direction you roll the curler is crucial. Here's a breakdown:

  • For Longer Curtain Bangs: Roll the curler outwards, away from your face. This technique creates the swept-back effect that defines curtain bangs.

  • For Shorter Curtain Bangs: Roll the curler inwards, towards your face. This can help shorter bangs achieve more volume and a subtle curve.

General Tips for Curling Curtain Bangs:

  • Use the Right Size Curler: A larger barrel curler generally works best for achieving the loose wave typical of curtain bangs.

  • Heat Application: If using heated curlers or applying heat to the curler (like with a blow dryer), be careful not to overheat your bangs, which can cause damage.

  • Cool Down: Allow your bangs to cool completely while they are still wrapped around the curler. This helps set the style.

  • Finishing: After removing the curler, gently separate the bangs and arrange them to your desired shape. You can use a light hold hairspray to keep the style in place.
