#5: Curtain Fringe and Layers
When in doubt, flip it out. Try a fun shag shape if you have thicker hair with face-framing layers that you can flip out or under. Flipping out gives you the ultimate Bardot vibes. If you have thicker hair and want to try curtain bangs, be aware of the thickness you’d like around your eyes. A thinner curtain bang can be just as beautiful with a little flip-out.

#6: Ginger Softly Layered Curtain Fringe
A softly layered curtain fringe is a romantic and soft take on a traditional curtain bang. This shape is ideal for oval or diamond face shapes. This accentuates the eyes and cheekbones. Adding extra layers around the face helps blend any fringe with the rest of the haircut. Instead of short shag-like layers, opt for something a little softer like this face frame. I love how effortless and lived-in this haircut shape is.

#7: Perfectly Rounded Bob with Soft Bangs
Opt for a perfectly rounded bob with soft bangs. If you want a bob to curl under, naturally, ask your stylist for an under-bevel cut. I suggest an above collar bone style so the shoulders don’t create any unnecessary flips. This style looks great on all textures, considering what layers you may need for more or less volume.

Soft curtain bangs add a face-framing feature to any women’s hairstyle. It’s parted in the middle or off-center, resembling theater drapes. If you like this classic and feminine look, you found the right place!
It was the 1960s when ladies started getting hooked by this retro fringe. Many years later, it never went out of style. Here’s why:
“The softest curtain bangs are low-maintenance and easy to grow out,” says Shelby Loos, a stylist from Kansas City, MO. These don’t require a huge commitment if you’re scared of getting a full fringe.
Nonetheless, once you decide that this is the look you want to keep, be mindful of getting constant trims. Plan your visits to the salon.
There is not one particular type of curtain bangs. They all look different, depending on your face shape and features. So, it’s crucial to look at picture references and consult them with your stylist.
Loos suggests asking about styling and product recommendations. Know the right tools to use and the ideal products to apply to your hair, based on its type and texture.
“I always advise women to make sure that their hair dries forward. Right after washing, place your wet bangs where you want them dry. This trains your hair to set forward,” Loos states.
