2. Long Shag with Curtain Bangs

The long shag with curtain bangs is a modern favorite. Curtain bangs frame the face and blend into layered lengths, making the haircut flattering for most face shapes. This style softens facial features and adds structure to long hair.

Before cutting, discuss face shape and desired bang length with your stylist. Curtain bangs usually start shorter at the center and gradually become longer toward the sides. The rest of the hair is layered to match the flow of the fringe.

To style, apply a heat protectant spray before blow drying. Use a round brush to shape the curtain bangs away from the face. A flat iron can smooth the ends while keeping movement in the layers. A light hold hairspray helps maintain the shape without stiffness.
