Curtain bangs are one of the trendiest bang styles out there right now. If you want to get the best bang style, you’ll definitely love curtain bangs, and a good guide to curtain bangs can help you accomplish that even if you’ve never really been big into haircutting. However, just a general guide to cutting curtain bangs may not give you the tips and tricks you really need to perfect them. Here are four of the best ways to get amazing curtain bangs when you cut your bangs.

1. Always Cut Your Bangs Dry

You may have seen a stylist cut someone’s bangs while the hair was wet at some point. Although a skilled stylist can definitely pull this off, it’s a skill that requires a significant amount of knowledge and training to pull off. This is most important because hair shrinks slightly when it dries. If you cut your bangs while they’re wet, they’re almost certainly going to be just a bit too short when they’re dry. 

2. Use Your Chin as a Marker for Length

Curtain bangs are a beautiful, face-framing style. That means you want the bangs to gently frame your face, a feat that can be a bit difficult to achieve if you don’t know much about bang cutting. The secret? Use your chin as a marker. You should start your first cut a little bit below your chin. That way, the bangs will look like they perfectly frame your face.

3. Cut Long, Then Shorten

One of the best things you can do when you’re cutting your own hair is to always give yourself significantly more room to cut additional length if you want. Never cut your bangs directly at the length that you think they’ll look best at. Cut at least about an inch underneath the place you think they’ll look good at. This way, you can gently move your length up, which makes it possible for you to end up with a style that looks exactly how you want it to.

4. Remember to Style the Bangs

Styling is a hugely important part of making sure your bangs look exactly how you want them. When you have curtain bangs, you typically won’t be able to just air dry your hair and go in the morning. Instead, you’ll want to style it. One great way to style curtain bangs is to dampen the hair, then use a boar bristle brush to curl the hair, including the bangs, and blow dry it to set it.

Conclusion

Curtain bangs are one of the hottest bang styles out there, and if you’re looking to get them for yourself, you can definitely cut and style your bangs at home. If you have any concerns about your bang style, it’s important that you talk to a stylist about it. However, many people can manage a simple curtain bangs style at home. With these secrets, you’ll be able to pull off an incredible curtain bangs style at home, no problem.
