Before you book
A fringe is the fastest-growing part of any cut — learn the 30-second morning restyle (a quick blast of warm air downwards) and it will behave.
Frequently asked questions
Do curtain bangs suit a round face?
Yes — curtain bangs are one of the most flattering choices for round faces because the parted, angled pieces add length to the face. Keep them cheekbone-length or longer for the strongest effect.
What do I ask my stylist or barber for?
Ask for curtain bangs that start at the cheekbone, or a wispy fringe just above the brows — and ask your stylist to cut it dry or slightly longer than target, because fringes spring up.
