Here’s How to Style and Maintain Your Curtain Bangs

Curtain bangs have been big news in hair trends for a while now, and they’re showing no signs of going away. There’s good reason for this—when cut and maintained well, curtain bangs can be universally flattering, effortlessly cool, and surprisingly versatile. If you’ve just gone for the chop or you’re thinking of getting it done, check out these tips on how to style and maintain curtain bangs.

Prioritize Hair Health

Your curtain bangs are never going to fall right if your hair is dry and brittle or overladen with products and greasy. Prioritize hair health by getting regular trims, avoiding harsh treatments and over-processing, and using boosting ingredients including almond oil, rosemary oil, and apple cider vinegar.

Use a Round Brush

You’re going to need to invest in a round brush to style your bangs in a flattering way around your face. Practice running the brush through your bangs without a hair dryer initially, to get the technique down. Don’t be afraid to use plenty of hair oil to get the level of shine and gloss you’re looking for.

Blow Dry to Perfection

The best curtain bangs are usually set with a combination of a round brush and a blow dryer. When your bangs are damp but not soaking wet, fluff them out using the round brush while you blow dry from above. This combination should result in well shaped, glossy bangs that fall perfectly around your face.
