5. The Retro Curtain Blend
Channeling the glamour of the 1970s, this style features long curtain bangs that blend seamlessly into face-framing layers. The fringe is cut on the longer side—usually hitting the cheekbone—which makes it easy to tuck behind your ears if you want a change. The layers are long, dramatic, and designed to look best when styled with a slight flick outward at the ends. It is a fantastic way to embrace a retro vibe while keeping your look grounded in modern styling. This cut works exceptionally well for those with thick hair, as it prevents the bangs from feeling too heavy.
How to Make
Cut the curtain bangs with a soft, diagonal slant, ensuring the longest part of the bang hits the top of the cheekbone. Then, cut long layers starting from the chin downward, making sure each layer is angled to follow the line of your jaw. This creates a “frame” for your face. To style, use a round brush to blow-dry the bangs backward, flicking them away from the face. For the long layers, use a curling wand to create a soft, bouncy wave at the ends, which enhances the retro silhouette and gives the style a playful, classic appeal.
