For curly hair, the system is a bit different when it comes to cutting your curtain bangs. Normally it is needed to wet the hair before going in with the scissors, but for curly hair, you should keep your hair dry. This is because the length of your curly hair changes when the hair is wet, so you may not end up with your desired bangs.
Now to begin, start with as much dry hair as you can, and separate hair at the front for the bangs. You need to part your hair in the middle for the best results. As it goes, curtain bangs are shorter in the middle and longer on the sides. So take a piece of hair right in the middle and separate it from the rest of your hair.
Clip up the rest of the hair to make your work easier. Now with the piece in the middle, determine how long you would like to keep it. As this part will be the shortest, we recommend taking your inner corner of the eye as the guide and cutting your hair in a way that it remains in a little bit longer position compared to your inner corner.
Now that you have cut this piece of your hair, move onto either side and grab pieces of hair, and cut them in a way that they remain longer than the middle piece. Continue this process on both sides.
After you have cut all the hair separated for the bangs, now it’s time to let the clips go. Assemble all your hair and you will find that the bangs have become disheveled. At this point, you need to pick the longer pieces and cut them again to get to the desired shape of your curtain bangs.
When everything is cut and made tidy, you will be left with beautiful curtain bangs on your curly hair. Yes, it’s as easy as that.
Read This Before You Cut Your Bangs!
It’s alright to have doubts and second thoughts before cutting your bangs, especially if you have curly hair. One wrong move and everything can fall apart! But with our handy tips, beginning your curtain bangs journey will become easier.
First of all, make sure that curtain bangs will suit you. Often it feels like trying out new hairstyles because of the hype, but cut your hair only if it matches your facial features and your vibe.
It’s important to take sharp scissors to ensure precise and clean cuts. Don’t just go on picking up your regular scissors that are not sharp enough, because you will end up with disastrous haircuts at the end.
Remember that the haircut will depend on the curl pattern you have, so make sure that you are following the right steps because different curls will require different types of techniques to achieve the best outcome.
Make sure that curtain bangs are the perfect option according to your mood and season. It’s not a secret that short and compact haircuts are the perfect picks for summer, so curtain bangs may not be an ideal option if the weather in your area is humid or if it is summertime. Always consider choosing a hairstyle according to the season.
Last but not the least, make sure that you are comfortable with your hair. Going for fancy cuts just for the sake of trends may not be an ideal option all the time. So choose it only if you feel comfortable in it.
