This year, we have been graced with some gorgeous hair color trends, and two of my favorites are expensive brunette and mocha mousse.
For this type of hairstyle, I’d definitely recommend trying either of these shades. They bring out the beauty of the layers, add richness to the hair, and give the entire look that glossy, expensive finish.
I also love how the wispy curtain fringe softly frames the face while the long, bouncy layers create so much volume and movement. It’s feminine, flirty, and effortlessly glamorous.

We have been seeing so many gorgeous black and brunette curtain bangs since the beginning of this post. I think it’s time to switch things up with a little blonde, don’t you agree? This shade was worth the wait.
This is giving golden girl energy. The beautiful honey-blonde shade, paired with those long, feathered layers and soft curtain fringe, is such a gorgeous combination. I love how the bangs gently split around the forehead and blend into the shorter face-framing layers, while the rest of the hair falls into those silky, wispy ends.
Getting a hairstyle like this also means knowing how to style it. So, if you are wondering how to blow-dry curtain bangs to get that beautiful, swoopy finish, here’s a little trick:
Start with damp bangs and a round brush. Place the brush underneath the fringe and direct the hair forward over your forehead as you blow-dry. Once it’s almost dry, split the bangs down the middle, then use the round brush to sweep each side away from your face. Hold the brush in place for a few seconds to let the hair cool before releasing it. This helps create that soft, bouncy curtain effect instead of having your bangs fall flat.
And please, don’t forget a little heat protectant before blow-drying! Very important.

Now, to get this hairstyle looking its best, a good blowout is your best friend. After washing your hair, apply a heat protectant and use a round brush to blow-dry your bangs, directing them forward first before sweeping them gently to either side.
For the rest of your hair, use a large round brush to create soft bends through the lengths, paying special attention to the ends. Finish with a lightweight silicone-based hair serum to keep your blonde looking smooth and pretty without weighing it down.

This hairstyle is perfect if you have an oval, heart-shaped, or oblong face; it deserves a spot on your inspo list. The full curtain bangs add softness around the forehead, while the layers create a lovely frame around the cheeks and jawline. And if you have a round face, don’t count yourself out. You can ask your stylist to keep the curtain bangs slightly longer so they fall around your cheekbones and create a more elongated appearance.
This cut is also lovely for medium-to-thick hair because it gives the strands more shape and allows those gorgeous layers to stand out. If you have fine hair, you can still try it, but ask your stylist for softer, less extensive layers so you don’t lose too much fullness.
11. Long Voluminous Layers With Dramatic Curtain Bangs

Let me teach you how to style curtain bangs, especially for a look like this that seems quite hard to style on your own unless you go to a hairstylist. My hairstylist actually gave me these few tips, and they have worked incredibly well for me.
First off, get yourself a good round brush. A medium or large round brush helps you create that beautiful swoop at the front and gives your bangs the volume they need. Start with damp hair, apply a heat protectant, and use your blow-dryer to direct the fringe forward before sweeping each side away from your face.
Secondly, velcro rollers are your best friend. If you have ever wondered how hairstylists get those gorgeous, bouncy bangs that seem to sit perfectly in place, here is one of their little secrets. Once you have blow-dried your fringe, wrap each side around a large velcro roller, rolling away from your face. Leave them in while the hair cools, then gently remove them. You will be amazed at the results!
Third, don’t forget your layers. Those gorgeous, cascading layers need some attention, too. Divide your hair into sections and use a large round brush or a blow-dry brush to create that signature curved finish. You can also use a large-barrel curling iron to shape the ends, making sure to curl them away from your face for that beautiful, salon-style bounce.
Lastly, you don’t want to spend all that time styling your hair only for the bangs to fall flat before you leave the house. Use a lightweight, flexible-hold hairspray to keep everything in place without making your hair stiff or crunchy. And there you have it. Easy peasy.
12. Long Layered Haircut with Rounded Full Fringe

Guys, I’m conflicted. Each time I think I have found my favourite hairstyle for my next hair appointment, I end up seeing an even more beautiful one. I feel like a kid who’s been given many delicious candies and is having trouble choosing just one. Send help!!!
Anyway, you know how they say you can cut curtain bangs at home? Yeah, that. What if I showed you how to cut curtain bangs at home, and we used this gorgeous hairstyle as our inspiration?
First, let’s talk about what you’ll need. Grab a pair of sharp hair-cutting scissors, a fine-tooth comb, a few sectioning clips, and a mirror. Please, please, and please don’t use your kitchen scissors.
Step 1: Start with dry hair.
I recommend working with clean, completely dry hair, styled the way you normally wear it. This helps you see exactly where your bangs will fall and prevents you from accidentally cutting them too short.
Step 2: Section out your bangs.
Create your usual middle parting and use your comb to separate a small triangular section of hair at the front of your head. The width of the section should depend on how full you want your bangs to be. Clip the remaining hair away so it doesn’t get in your way.
Step 3: Divide the section into two.
Separate your triangular section down the middle into two equal parts. Comb each section forward and let the hair fall naturally. Remember, we’re going for that beautiful curtain effect, so the middle should be shorter, with the sides gradually getting longer.
Step 4: Start trimming.
Here’s where you need to be extra careful. Starting with one side, hold a small section of hair loosely between your fingers and trim just a tiny amount at an angle. Use the tips of your scissors to make small vertical snips rather than cutting straight across. Repeat on the other side, keeping the centre shorter and the outer edges longer.
Don’t get carried away with the scissors! Start with longer bangs around the cheekbone area and gradually adjust the length until you’re happy with the shape.
Step 5: Style your new curtain bangs.
Apply a little heat protectant and use a round brush to blow-dry your bangs. Direct the hair forward first, then sweep each side away from your face. You can also use Velcro rollers to give the fringe that gorgeous swoopy finish.
Now a little warning: Cutting your own bangs can be tricky, especially if you have never done it before. Always cut less than you think you need. You can take off more hair later, but you can’t put it back. Got it?
13. Blonde Highlight Curtain Bangs

Curtain bangs with blonde highlights are one of those hairstyle combinations that make you look chic. The mix of brunette and blonde gives the hair a beautiful, sun-kissed look.
The flowing layers bring the whole look to life; actually, curtain bangs and layers, especially the wavy ones are a match made in heaven.
The long curtain bangs gently frame the face, blending into the layers and giving the entire look a soft, feminine touch.
Since the look relies heavily on its layers and bouncy finish, regular trims are important to maintain the shape. You should be getting trims every 6-8 weeks.
I would also recommend using a color-safe shampoo and conditioner to keep those blonde highlights looking fresh and prevent the color from becoming dull.

She is giving French film star.
What really makes this hairstyle pop is the full fringe. It falls softly across the forehead, with the sides sweeping into those beautiful, face-framing layers.
The ends have a subtle curl that gives the hair a lovely shape without looking overly done. It’s giving old-money elegance, vintage French cinema, and a little bit of mystery.
Honestly, I can picture this look with either the hair flowing down or put up in a messy bun with a black off-shoulder top, mini skirt, black sheer tights, red lipstick, delicate gold earrings, and a glass of wine at a little Parisian restaurant.
Tell me you don’t see it.
15. Long Curtain Bangs

Do you know what I love more than curtain bangs? LONG CURTAIN BANGS!
There’s just something about them that makes a hairstyle look so effortlessly gorgeous. I love how these ones start with a soft middle part and gradually sweep down along the sides of the face, almost reaching the cheekbones. They give you that beautiful face-framing effect without having too much hair falling across your forehead. Just look at how pretty they look with this relaxed updo.
To get these long curtain bangs, ask your hairstylist for a middle part with long, face-framing sections that gradually get longer towards the sides. The shortest pieces should fall around your cheekbones, while the longer sections blend towards your jawline.
For styling, use a round brush and blow-dryer to sweep each section away from your face. You can also wrap the front pieces around large Velcro rollers and leave them in until your hair cools. This helps give the bangs that soft curve and keeps them from falling flat.
For the rest of your hair, you have options. You can keep it pin-straight, go for big layered waves, or try voluminous curls. It all depends on what you want and the overall look you’re going for. That’s the beauty of long curtain bangs: they work with so many different hairstyles.

This rich brunette shade has these gorgeous warm undertones that make the hair look almost chocolatey in the light.
My favourite aspect of this look right here is the cut. Those sweeping curtain bangs fall beautifully across the forehead before blending into the shorter face-framing layers.

She is bad and bougie, and honestly, I wouldn’t expect anything less from a hairstyle this gorgeous! First of all, that rich chocolate-cherry brunette shade deserves its own moment. I love how the reddish-brown undertones catch the light, giving the hair so much depth.
The full curtain bangs are the star of the show. They have a fuller, slightly parted finish that beautifully opens up the face before blending into the long, cascading layers.
The volume is everything and more.
To achieve this hairstyle, start by applying a heat protectant and some volumizing mousse to damp hair. Blow-dry your fringe with a round brush, directing the hair forward before sweeping each side away from your face.
For the rest of your hair, work in sections using a curling iron, wrapping each section away from your face to create those gorgeous, rounded curls.
You can either use Velcro rollers or wrap each freshly curled section around your fingers and secure it against your head with a duckbill clip while it cools. Once you have released everything, gently separate the curls with your fingers and finish with a flexible-hold hairspray to keep that volume in place.
Don’t have a curling iron? No problem. Do you have a flat iron? You do? Great, that will do the trick. Just glide it down each section while gently rotating your wrist to create those soft, rounded curls.
Finish with a few drops of lightweight hair oil on your ends for that beautiful glossy finish. And please, don’t go overboard with the product. Less is more.

Long layers with curtain bangs never fail to look refined and elegant.
For face shapes, I’d say this hairstyle will look spectacular if you have an oval, round, heart-shaped, or square face. As for hair type, medium to thick hair will give you the best version of this look.
My fine-haired girlies, do not despair! Just tell your hairstylist to keep the layers longer and avoid removing too much weight from the ends, because you actually need all the weight you can get. This will help your hair retain its fullness while still giving you that beautiful, flowing shape.
19. High Ponytail with Curtain Bangs

A high ponytail with curtain bangs is perfect for everyday wear, and I love how it manages to look both playful and refined. The ponytail gives the hair a lovely lift, while those long, sweeping bangs fall around the face, creating a soft, face-framing effect.
This hairstyle is perfect for those days when you want your hair away from your neck but still want the glam. It’s particularly flattering on oval, round, and long faces, as the lifted ponytail adds height while the curtain bangs soften the forehead and cheeks.
To recreate this look, start by parting your hair down the middle and separating the front sections you want to use for your curtain bangs. Gather the rest of your hair into a high ponytail, making sure it sits comfortably around the crown of your head.
Secure it with a hair tie, then gently pull at the crown to create a little volume rather than making everything look too tight. For the bangs, use a round brush and blow-dryer to sweep each section away from your face. If you want more definition, use a curling iron to give the ends a slight outward bend. Finish with a little flexible-hold hairspray to keep everything in place.

The fringe sweeps softly across the forehead and blends into the shorter pieces around the cheeks, while the longer layers fall beautifully over the shoulders.
I can see this becoming my signature hairstyle in the near future. I would pair it with a fitted cream dress, gold accessories, and a nude lip for that effortlessly put-together look. Simple, classy, and absolutely gorgeous.
21. Blonde Long-Layered Haircut With Curtain Bangs

To achieve this look, ask your hairstylist for long, blended layers with wispy curtain bangs. The fringe should be slightly shorter around the centre of your forehead, gradually getting longer towards your cheekbones. For the rest of your hair, request softly feathered layers that create movement while maintaining most of your length.
For styling, apply a volumizing mousse to damp hair, then use a round brush and blow-dryer to lift the roots and shape the layers. When working on your bangs, direct them forward first before brushing each side away from your face. Use a large-barrel curling iron to give the remaining layers those gorgeous outward curves, alternating the direction slightly for a more natural finish. Let everything cool before running your fingers through the hair.
And if you are going for that beautiful blonde shade, ask your colourist for a creamy, dimensional blonde with slightly darker roots. A purple shampoo used occasionally can also help keep unwanted yellow tones under control.
22. Chocolate Brown Feathered Layers With Curtain Bangs
Credit: sintia_la
The rich chocolate brunette shade, subtle caramel highlights, and beautifully blended layers make such a gorgeous combination. I particularly love how the shorter pieces curve around the face and gradually transition into longer layers. It’s giving quiet luxury, light feminine energy, and a little 90s supermodel glamour. I know, even the simplest outfit would look ten times better with this hair.
For maintenance, regular trims every 8–12 weeks will help keep the layers looking fresh and prevent the ends from becoming scraggly. If you have added highlights, invest in a good colour-safe shampoo and conditioner to maintain the richness of the brunette shade and keep the lighter pieces looking beautiful. I would also recommend using a nourishing hair mask once a week to replenish moisture, especially if your hair has been coloured.
Since this hairstyle relies on those gorgeous curves and bouncy ends, heat protection is non-negotiable. Apply a heat protectant before blow-drying or using a curling iron, and avoid excessive heat styling. A lightweight hair oil or shine serum on the ends will also help keep them smooth and glossy.
23. Side-Swept Feathered Blowout With Curtain Bangs

Romantic and dreamy, this hairstyle is the true definition of that. I’m such a fan of how the side-swept curtain bangs fall across the forehead, gently framing one side of the face before blending into the gorgeous layers.
If you are thinking of recreating this look, ask your hairstylist for long, blended layers with side-swept curtain bangs. The trick is getting the fringe long enough to sweep across your forehead and blend naturally into the shorter face-framing pieces.
For styling, use a round brush and blow-dryer to direct your bangs to one side, then create those beautiful curves through the layers with a large-barrel curling iron. Finish with a little lightweight shine serum to keep everything smooth and glossy.

This hairstyle is stunning, bouncy, and giving main-character.
And I adore how the curtain bangs are not too short or too thick. They open up around the forehead, frame the eyes, and blend into the shorter pieces around the cheeks. The real showstopper, though, is how the layers fall into one another, creating that lovely rounded shape and flipped-out finish.
Add that glossy jet-black colour to the mix, and you have a hairstyle that looks straight out of a professional salon campaign. It’s feminine, playful, and just glamorous enough to make people ask where you got your hair done.
One thing about this haircut is that it gives long hair some much-needed personality. If your hair tends to look flat or a little lifeless when you wear it down, these layers can make such a difference.
They break up the length, create the appearance of more volume, and give your hair movement without sacrificing its overall fullness. It’s pretty lovely for medium-to-thick hair.

So far, we have been having curtain bangs with waves and curls, but how about pairing them with straight hair for a change?
The beauty of this hairstyle is that you don’t need an elaborate styling routine to make it look good. Start by applying a heat protectant, then blow-dry your bangs with a round brush, directing them away from your face to create that gentle swoop.
For the rest of your hair, use a paddle brush and blow-dryer to get a smooth, straight finish. You can run a flat iron through the lengths if you want an extra-sleek look, but keep the ends natural rather than flipping or curling them.
Finish with a drop of lightweight shine serum to give your hair that glossy, healthy-looking hair.
26. Soft Layered Hair with Curtain Bangs

Can we take a moment for how effortlessly pretty this hairstyle is? It’s giving soft glam, cosy girl aesthetic, and a little bit of old-money elegance. The gentle waves through the ends add just enough volume and movement. It’s the kind of hair that looks gorgeous with a cute cardigan, gold hoops, and natural makeup.
You can recreate this look at home, even if you are not particularly gifted with a styling brush. If you are trying diy curtain bangs, start by creating a soft middle part and separating your fringe into two sections. On slightly damp hair, apply a heat protectant and use a medium round brush to blow-dry each section away from your face. Direct the airflow downwards and gently roll the brush outward to create that signature swoop.
For the rest of your hair, divide it into manageable sections and use a large-barrel curling iron to create loose bends, focusing mainly on the mid-lengths and ends.
Alternate the direction of a few curls to keep everything looking natural rather than overly uniform. Allow your hair to cool before gently running your fingers through it, then finish with a lightweight shine serum to bring out that glossy, silky finish.

Throughout this article, we have been having curtain bangs for long and medium hair, and I know my short-haired girlies are like, “She don’t see us?” Of course I see you, and I also got some gorgeous inspo for you.
So, here is a pretty layered bob with curtain bangs.
I absolutely love how this haircut gives you that short-hair freedom without looking too basic.
The soft, choppy layers add movement and volume, while the ends have that cute little flick that makes the bob look fuller and more playful. Those curtain bangs are the cherry on top. They gently sweep across the forehead and frame the face, giving the whole look a luxe and chic vibe. This is one of the bob hair trends that made huge waves this year.
28. Shoulder-Length Flipped Layers With Curtain Bangs
Credit: kreativitywkyla
For my short-haired girlies, here’s another one for your Pinterest board. This shoulder-length hair with curtain bangs is such a pretty middle ground between having a bob and keeping your hair long. You get the best of both worlds: enough length to play around with different styles, but not so much hair that styling becomes a whole workout.
The bangs are slightly wispy in the middle, with longer pieces sweeping towards the cheeks, while the ends curve outward to give the hair that lovely bouncy finish. And can we appreciate how much volume this cut has? It looks full, fluffy, and beautifully put together. Just how I like it.
To recreate it, ask your hairstylist for a shoulder-length cut with blended layers and curtain bangs that gradually get longer towards the sides. You don’t want the layers to be too choppy because the goal is to maintain that lovely fullness.
When styling at home, apply a volumizing mousse to damp hair and blow-dry using a round brush. Direct the bangs away from your face, then use a round brush or curling iron to flick the ends outward. Finish with a lightweight texturizing spray to give the layers some separation and keep that bouncy, airy movement.
29. Voluminous Layered Curls with Full Curtain Bangs

For the umpteenth time, I’m changing my mind and getting this look for my next hair appointment. I think this is finally the one! And honestly, can you blame me? Just look at all that volume, those gorgeous bouncy curls, and the full, swoopy curtain bangs.
Now, let’s talk maintenance because a gorgeous blowout like this needs a little attention to keep it looking fresh. First, regular trims every 6–8 weeks will help maintain the shape of the layers and prevent the ends from looking scraggly. You will also want to invest in a good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to keep your hair soft, shiny, and manageable.
For styling, don’t skip your heat protectant, especially if you are regularly using a blow-dryer or curling iron to recreate those bouncy curls. On days when you don’t want to wash and restyle everything, a little dry shampoo at the roots can help absorb excess oil and bring back some volume. At night, loosely wrap your hair in a silk scarf or use a satin bonnet to reduce friction and help preserve the shape.
And one more thing: avoid brushing out those curls aggressively. Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to gently separate them and bring back their bounce. With the right care, you can keep that gorgeous salon-fresh finish for much longer.
