Curtain Bangs Long

On long hair the blend matters more than the bangs: if the connection into the lengths is cut too abruptly you get a shelf that shows every time the hair moves. Done properly, the shortest piece lands at the cheekbone and each section after it gets longer until it disappears into the rest. This is the least committal way to have bangs, because there is no stage at which growing them out looks awkward.

• Suitsround, square, oblong face shapes. Long hair on its own drags a face downward, and the diagonal front pieces restore width at the cheekbone, which is where a long or square outline needs it.
• Hair typefine, medium density, thick, straight, wavy. It works across most textures because the bangs are cut into existing length, though tight curl springs up and has to be left longer.
• UpkeepA trim every eight to twelve weeks keeps the shortest piece off the eye, and styling is a round brush turned outward on two front sections.
• Ask forAsk for long curtain bangs with the shortest point at the cheekbone, cut with vertical slices so they melt into the length.
