Take it from some of your favorite celebs, this haircut is here to stay.
For those who love the look of bangs but want them to appear "softer," curtain bangs are a must-try. This hot style has long been a celebrity favorite, with many stars opting for the look during the spring and summer months. Curtain bangs are low-maintenance compared to blunt bangs and are universally flattering for most face shapes. Here are four celebrities who love curtain bangs, along with advice on how you can try the look for yourself.
What are curtain bangs?
Curtain bangs are a softer version of traditional, straight-across bangs. They are created by a stylist on an individual basis, depending on what features you want to highlight and frame. Curtain bangs create softness and balance around the face, bringing forward your features, including your eyes and cheekbones.
4 Celebrities Who Rock Curtain Bangs
Celebrities have long opted for curtain bangs, due to how flattering and easy they are to maintain. Bangs can be a polarizing subject, but these celebrities prove there are all kinds of ways to wear curtain bangs.
- Halle Berry: One of the most beautiful actors in the entertainment industry, Berry is no stranger to a unique hairstyle. While she's best known for her iconic pixie cut, she's also memorably worn curtain bangs in recent years.
- Dakota Johnson: Johnson, the daughter of well-known actors Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, has appeared in blockbuster movies and indie projects. She loves classic makeup looks and has become known for her lovely fringe of bangs.
- Zooey Deschanel: The quirky star is rarely photographed without her signature bangs. Over the years, she's tried out almost every variation of bangs, but she's most often spotted with soft curtain bangs that show off her bright blue eyes.
- Nicole Richie: Back in the day, Richie preferred long layers. However, since becoming a mom and redirecting her attention to her fashion empire, Richie has changed up her style to include chic curtain bangs.
How to Try Curtain Bangs for Yourself
If you think you're ready to embrace the curtain bangs trend, consider whether you're up for regular maintenance. Curtain bangs are easier to maintain than straight-across bangs, but depending on how fast your hair grows, you could still need trims every few weeks. Also, consider whether or not bangs could be your sensory nightmare. Some people are irritated by the brush of bangs on their faces, so curtain bangs are not for them. If you aren't bothered by either of these things, pop into your hair salon and give the style a try.
