Curtain bangs are a longer style of fringe that frame the face on either side. The hair is typically parted down the middle, or slightly off center, creating a flowing, "curtain-like" effect. They are known for their versatility and ability to soften facial features, making them a popular choice for various hair types and face shapes.
Here are some additional details about curtain bangs:
- Distinctive feature: According to Eduardo Ponce, Balmain Hair USA West Coast ambassador, curtain bangs are distinctive because they are "a longer version of bangs that frame the face without covering the entire forehead."
- Difference from traditional bangs: Curtain bangs are different from traditional bangs that cover the entire forehead. They are more face-framing, with a longer length that allows the hair to gently fall to the sides, rather than covering the forehead completely.
- Styling: Curtain bangs can be styled in many ways, from straight and sleek to textured and wavy.
- Suitability: They are often considered a good option for people with oval or square faces, as well as those with fine or wavy hair.
