Curtain bangs, a hairstyle that originated in the 1960s, have regained popularity for their timeless charm and versatility. They are a style of fringe that falls to the cheekbones on either side of the face. The middle of the forehead is left bare, creating the effect of an opening curtain. They can be worn short or long, depending on your style. Their universal appeal lies in their ability to flatter nearly all hairstyles and textures.
