How to Do Faux Curtain Bangs

When it comes to adding some retro flair to your hairstyle, faux curtain bangs are the perfect solution. According to hairstyling expert Abramite, the key to achieving this look is to manipulate the length of your hair to create the illusion of bangs.

To start, use a diffuser to keep your natural texture intact and prevent any frizz or flyaways from ruining the style. Next, section out your 'bang' area by parting it down the center, just like you would with real curtain bangs. Then, curl the first few inches of hair away from your face, leaving the midlengths to be natural.

To create the face-frames that are a hallmark of faux curtain bangs, simply brush out your hair so it doesn't look too 'done' and then pinch the center together for a subtle frame around your face. This downward sweeping angle from a middle part creates a retro 1970s vibe that's sure to turn heads.

If you're looking for a more dramatic take on faux curtain bangs, try pairing them with a statement hairstyle like a huge poof dress or a half-up, half-down 'do complete with cutesy curled length. According to Cosmopolitan, Ariana Grande's new look was crafted by Josh Liu, the stylist behind her other 1960s-inspired hairdos.

Whether you're going for a subtle fringe or a more dramatic statement piece, faux curtain bangs are the perfect way to add some vintage flair to your hairstyle without actually cutting your hair. So why not give it a try and see how you can use this trendy style to enhance your natural beauty?
