Curtain bangs: who is it good for and what are the most suitable cuts!

Although it has always been a beloved hair trend, the fringe is not so easy to wear: it needs more or less regular features, because it tends to harden the face, and hair that is not too rebellious, better if straight or slightly wavy, which are able to be managed with ease. Among all the variations, however, there is one particularly indulgent, considered within everyone's reach: the curtain bangs, with a glam-chic effect and a retro taste, destined to become popular again in this spring summer.

Hair trend derived from the Sixties, divinely flaunted and handed over to history by the splendid Brigitte Bardot in those glorious years of the Dolce Vita and beyond, this type of full fringe, but with a soft styling, opens on the forehead like a small curtain, dividing into two flaps that come off slightly until they fall on the cheekbones. Also called dentelé in French, this hair trend returned to the limelight in this spring summer 2020, then has the advantage of framing the face delicately, without defining it excessively or hardening it excessively, allowing it to soften its features. This is the reason that makes it a variant suitable for any type of face or haircut, as we will see specifically shortly.

Often, especially those with oily hair, avoid succumbing to the charm of fringe mania for fear that they will get dirty quickly, due to its direct contact with the forehead, one of the areas of the face most subject to excess sebum; however, the curtain bags , being open, it does not cover the entire surface of the forehead and can therefore be managed more easily from this point of view as well. In any case, to avoid the danger of greasy hair, you can also resort to the practical and simple method of dry shampoo, so as to always show off a clean and tidy hair and lengthen the time between one wash and the next.

Curtain bangs: who is it good for?

As anticipated, this long and open fringe that gives breath and movement to any type of cut, is suitable for all hair.
From the smooth ones to the wavy ones up to the most difficult curls; its scaled and irregular styling and its length up to the cheekbones make it an ideal trend also for those who show off particularly rebellious and voluminous curly short hair.

In fact, it can be shorter and shorter. with a full effect, to give greater volume to short or medium cuts that are very scaled, longer and jagged, ideal for long straight or wavy hair, or very parade in the upper part, especially where there is a "need to wear out faces a little" too full.

The most suitable haircuts for dentelé bangs

We have already said that the curtain bangs is particularly democratic even on this juncture, making it an ideal choice for all types of hairstyles: long hair, preferably slightly pulled out on the lengths and sides of the face, for a fully styled look.

Curtain bangs: which faces does it enhance the most?

Also in this case, we can rest assured: the curtain fringe knows how to enhance oval, round, square or elongated faces, even going to balance proportions and suggest greater harmony in the whole.

In this way, her particular and dynamic styling suggests a sense of verticality, strategically and naturally stretching faces that are a little too round and chubby.

On the contrary, it will fill square faces and hard and angular features, softening them and making them look rounder and softer.

Even an elongated oval will benefit from this type of fringe, which will thus fill the upper part of the head, shortening the size and interrupting the verticality of the face.

It is also a winning choice for those with a spacious forehead and want to suggest greater harmony between the proportions of the face.
