5. Determining the Length
Deciding the length of your curtain bangs is critical. Curtain bangs usually start longer than traditional straight-across bangs. They can range from eyebrow-length to cheekbone-length depending on your preference and face shape. Starting longer is safer, as you can always trim more later.
To determine the ideal length, hold the hair straight down and use your fingers as a guide. Many people start by cutting slightly below the eyebrows, then gradually trim until the desired length is achieved. Remember that hair shrinks slightly when it dries, especially wavy or curly hair.
Check both sides frequently to ensure symmetry. You can also angle the ends slightly inward to create a natural frame for your face. The length of your curtain bangs should complement your overall hairstyle, so take your time measuring and cutting gradually.
