Curtain bangs

Curtain bangs are a long fringe parted in the middle and swept to each side like curtains, blending into the face-framing layers. They are the most forgiving type of fringe and the easiest to grow out, which makes them a popular first fringe with a shag. They need a little styling to sweep outward and enough hair at the front to form them. A cowlick at the hairline can affect how they fall.
