If a client is nervous about bangs at all, curtain bangs on a lob is where I steer the conversation almost every time. They part naturally down the middle, frame both sides of the face, and grow out into layers instead of an awkward stage.
Here are twelve ways I cut and style curtain bangs with a lob.
Classic Center-Parted Curtain Bangs
Split evenly down the middle, these fall softly on either side of the face and blend right into the lob’s layers.
Longer, Barely-There Curtain Bangs
These graze past the cheekbone and read more like face-framing layers than true bangs, ideal for the truly bang-hesitant.
Shorter, Bolder Curtain Bangs
Cut closer to the brow, this version reads as a true fringe while still keeping that flattering open part in the middle.
Styling Curtain Bangs With a Round Brush
A medium round brush rolled outward on each side is the entire secret to that soft, swooping curtain shape.
Curtain Bangs for Every Face Shape
This is genuinely the most universally flattering bang style I cut, because the open center part balances nearly every face shape.
Growing Out Curtain Bangs Gracefully
Because they’re already parted and blended, curtain bangs simply become longer face-framing pieces as they grow, with no awkward phase at all.
