How To Cut Curtain Bangs?

Wash and fully dry your hair

Comb your hair straight down in the direction you’ll wear it

Part out the section for curtain bangs from the center outward

Clip the rest of your hair away

Lightly dampen the bangs if your hair is hard to cut dry

Hold the bangs straight out from your face at the length you want as your starting point

Start with small trims using sharp scissors

Cut across with a slight angle so the center stays longer than the sides

Create face-framing layers by cutting the outer sections slightly shorter than the center

Use point-cutting (snip upward with the tips of scissors) to soften the ends

Blend into the surrounding hair by trimming the edges where bangs meet side hair

Release the clips and comb through to check symmetry

Re-cut any uneven sections with tiny adjustments

If you want more fullness, take thinner sections and repeat small trims

If you want less bulk, thin with point-cutting or a light scissor-over-comb technique

Style with a blow-dryer and a round brush to set the bend and curtain shape

Let it dry fully, then do final micro-trims only if needed
