CURTAIN BANGS: the hair trend of 2022
Where do curtain bangs come from?
The look originated in the 1960s. Just think of the hairstyle made popular by film icon Brigitte Bardot. The look probably made a comeback as a result of quarantine, when bangs grew out and people made the most of the change.
Curtain bangs and face shape
Curtain bangs will look gorgeous on you! Because they sweep outwards, they make your face look a little more oval. Curtain bangs are also perfect for accentuating cheekbones and suit all face shapes! Just make sure to have them cut by a professional.
Styling curtain bangs
Styling curtain bangs can be easy. All you need is a round brush, a hair dryer, and the right hair products to style your hair. Watch the “How to: curtain bangs” video and find out how to style your curtain bangs.
How do I style this hair trend?
Curious to try them and want to style your curtain bangs beautifully too? Learn how to style your curtain bangs in 6 steps.
Step 1 – The right hair care
Hair care is the foundation for beautiful, healthy hair. Use a shampoo and a deeply nourishing conditioner, such as Wella Enrich Conditioner.
Step 2 – Apply a styling product, such as hair mousse
It’s important to apply a strengthening hair product all over your hair so your curtain bangs last longer and your hair is easier to style. We’re fans of Wella EIMI Extra Volume Mousse.
The mousse provides hold and volume and helps prevent your hair from drying out while blow-drying.
Step 3 – Use a volume or root-lifting spray
For more volume, use a root-lifting spray such as EIMI Sugar Lift. Make a few partings in your hair and spray the roots from a distance of about 10 cm. The spray not only adds volume, but also shine, as the product is enriched with sugar.
I know what you’re thinking: is it really that important to apply several products to your hair before you start styling? The answer is: YES, it really is! These products give your hair grip, helping your curtain bangs stay in place for longer.
Step 4 – Blow-dry your hair with a round brush
Roll and flip your hair: bring your bangs forward with your brush, roll upwards, and lift as you blow-dry. Roll your brush forward and voilà, your curtain bangs are styled. Watch the video again, “How to: curtain bangs” at 1:38 for a clearer demonstration.
Step 5 – Create volume at your crown
Want to go for a real ’60s hairstyle? Don’t forget to create some volume at the crown. Use your hair dryer and round brush again.
Step 6 – Let your hair cool with the help of a bobby pin
For longer-lasting results, roll your curtain bangs back and secure them with a bobby pin for a moment. This lets your hair cool in the same shape, so you can enjoy the look for longer throughout the day.
