Curtain Bangs: The Hair Trend You'll be Seeing Everywhere

While bangs of all kinds became a hit during quarantine (But whether it was out of boredom or for fashion is up for debate), curtain bangs seem to be the biggest hit. If you haven’t already seen them on your favorite Instagram influencers, on your TikTok “For You” page or even on some of your own friends, we’d be shocked.

The trend actually started in the 1970s, but is now making a major comeback. One word to describe this style? Versatile. From hair type to hair length, we swear they look amazing on everyone. 

Curtain bangs differ from regular bangs mainly due to their length. They’re a lot longer than regular bangs, which gives several different options when it comes to styling. They also frame your face, rather than cut it off, as they are parted in the middle. Yes, this means you’re going to have to get used to that middle part if you take the curtain bang plunge.

Plus, if you’ve been debating the bang chop for a while, they are the perfect segue into a shorter length. Even better? They’re known to be extremely low maintenance and oftentimes help enhance your best features, such as your cheekbones. They give off the effortless “I didn’t even try to do my hair this morning but I still look like I have my sh*t together vibe” that we all strive for every once in a while.
