Curtain bangs are the most sought-after trend. They do some excellent face framing, thus enhancing eyes and cheekbones, and grow out seamlessly. More than that, a curtain fringe helps women hit the middle part and modern shag trends that are nothing but huge now.
Shall you cut some window bangs too? After you see these 35 ideas for all hair lengths and types, you might want to.
Let us first recall the distinctive features of the fringe. Such bangs are angled to the sides and parted in the middle (think of curtains that are fastened to the sides). While the final look will largely depend on the haircut, the correct styling of the bangs matters a lot, too.
According to TikTok hair trends, the best way to style framing bangs is with a round brush and a blow dryer. Put the brush on top and dry your bangs backward before letting them fall in place. Another technique may be to use a flat iron. For this, you will need to take one side of your bangs and use a flat iron to twist layers away from your face. If you have natural curls or waves, style your locks as usual and push your curls to the sides to open up the forehead.
Check out these 35 diverse hairstyles for inspiration.

Curtain bangs work great for many haircuts, but when combined with a short blunt bob, they can soften and enhance this style. More so, the fringe will look as gorgeous when growing out, as you can easily tuck it behind the ears.

Thick hair can sometimes result in ultra-heavy bangs, but your hairstylist can customize the style to suit your hair type. We recommend asking for a thinned-out fringe for a more comfortable and manageable look.

A straight middle parting and longer flipped ends make this fringe an iconic sample of curtain bangs styling. Note a stunning focus on the eyes it has managed to create!
@swankyhairdesign
Straight hair is quite low-maintenance, and you can grow it long and strong. The main disadvantage of straight hair is its monotonous look. For a change, add some beach waves and curtain bangs with curled edges that frame your face and make the transition to longer layers smooth and seamless.

Women love curtain bangs because they can hide some nasty baby hairs and can be styled as hair pieces with a high ponytail or a messy bun. A good hairstyle to wear, isn’t it?
@blondeyaegerbomb
Face-framing micro bangs are a new trendy twist on the 70s bangs style. Delicately thinned out at the center, they open up the face to create a stunning haircut for round face shapes. Baby bangs work best for short and medium-length hair.
@salsalhair
Curtain bangs styles will look a bit different depending on your hair thickness and texture. On thick hair types, they will be rather full, but this will also help you effectively manage natural volume at the front. If you pull out the style on fine hair, the bangs will be wispy and lightweight, and the forehead – more open.
@thepainted_razor
A mullet has made a banging comeback this year, and framing choppy bangs fit the aesthetic well. Style them with a hair mousse while leaving the rest of your hair long for a rebellious contrast.

@carlycutsmyhair
Bob cuts look gorgeous with Bardot bangs, especially if you add some unexpected color to your hair like this cranberry hue. Use a round brush and a blow dryer for a statement-making styling.
@bescene
While curly fringe is on-trend now, Birkin bangs are easier to create with straight and wavy hair like this 2C wavy hair type that pairs a few defined curls with straighter hair on top. The coarse texture makes the bangs stay in place and frame your face with minimal maintenance. The wash-and-go hairstyle has never looked more attractive.
@fryeandthehair
Curtain bangs can work like magic, elongating a round face. For a head-turning image, add color to your strands. You can be creative and use the multicolor effect and tap into the e-girl streaks style as it has been done here.
@hairbyashleyfillip
There is no strict rule about how long or how short your bangs should be, even though a long fringe can be less of a commitment. Pay attention to your features and face shape to highlight and conceal what you want. Blow out your straight locks for large swoopy waves to blend the bangs and longer layers.
@benjamin_toniandguyph
