A number of trends have made a come back this year, one of the most notable being curtain bangs. With the help of Instagram and TikTok, this 70’s cool-girl hairstyle (think Jane Birkin) is a momentous component of this 2020 fall season. Now, I know what you’re thinking: Is there any way I could pull off curtain bangs? The answer is a resounding yes.

For those who don’t know, curtain bangs part down the middle, framing your face on each side. They’re usually longer and have wispy ends, giving them a very laidback vibe. Curtain bangs look great on just about everyone, and here are a few reasons why they would look great on you!

• Curtain bangs look amazing with so many different hairstyles

The messy bun, high ponytail, long bob, and the list goes on. The versatility of this cut allows for you to do it up in a fancier style or to casually dress it down. Curtain bangs give your hair the character and personality you didn’t know it needed.

• Curtain bangs enhance your best features

Curtain bangs are designed to suit any face shape, and they can refresh your look without having to do a full chop or add layers. Curtain bangs also contour and define your cheekbones, narrowing the shape of your face.

• Curtain Bangs are low maintenance

A common misconception is that you have to blow out your curtain bangs for them to look good. This is definitely not true! Curtain bangs have a very nice, natural texture, and look great without having to be styled.

Many Royals have decided to chop some curtain bangs, and they love their new dos.

Justine Avalos ’23 got her curtain bangs two weeks ago and hasn’t been the same since, “I decided to change things up, and it ended up being a great decision! I love how my curtain bangs make every single one of my hairstyles look so free and fun.”

Sienna Rose Regalado’ 23 also got curtain bangs and shared her thoughts on her new hair, “I love my hair! I think it looks so great when I do effortless hairstyles and my bangs frame my face so nicely.”

If you’re feeling adventurous and want to try out this style, I recommend starting with face-framing layers, shorter curtain bangs, and texturized ends.

Consider this a sign to try out some curtain bangs. These bangs are such a fun, non-committal to change up your hair and look great this fall season.
