While we all may be stuck at home, not even a pandemic raging on for more than a year now can stop hair trends from happening. Maybe it’s the boredom.

Wait, What Exactly are Curtain Bangs Anyway?
Curtain bangs are basically bangs that frame your face that increases in length as you go from the middle to the side of your face. They are so versatile, you can pair them up with most (if not all) hairstyles for women. If you want to go messy, you can. If you want to go sleek and chic, you totally can too.
Curtain bangs are also easy to manage, which makes them a favorite of a lot of women.
Styling and Maintenance Tips for Curtain Bangs
Since curtain bangs are low-maintenance, you can easily style them as you see fit so that it goes with your hairstyle and the look you’re aiming for. A blow dryer is your best friend when styling and maintaining curtain bangs. Simply blow them out with your fingers in one direction first and when that’s done, you can do the other direction.
Hairspray is another best friend you can have when styling and maintaining curtain bangs so that your hair will stay where you want it and not fly all over the place.
