Curtain Bangs Are Back for Autumn/ Winter: Here’s How to Style Them Like a Pro at Samuel Chapman Salon

Updated: Nov 25, 2024


Autumn is upon us, and with it, we’re seeing a cosy, chic trend return to the spotlight: curtain bangs! Loved by celebrities and influencers alike, curtain bangs bring a blend of effortless style and face-framing sophistication that’s ideal for the cooler months. While they first rose to fame as the go-to look for ‘90s boybands, curtain bangs found their revival in 2020, when low-maintenance styles became all the rage. And the look has only evolved from there – today’s curtain bangs are versatile, voluminous, and packed with personality.



Here at Samuel Chapman Salon, we’re excited to see clients embracing this trend once again. Whether you’re looking for a soft, face-framing touch or want to transform your entire look with a chic fringe, our stylists are here to guide you through the journey to curtain-bang perfection!


What’s New with Curtain Bangs This Autumn?



This season, curtain bangs are going bigger and bolder! While the classic curtain bang is still in style, we’re seeing a fresh take that leans into a thicker, more voluminous shape.


Imagine a “lifted” fringe that curves just at the brow and cheekbone, giving you a flattering and glamorous look that frames your face beautifully. Think plush, bouncy bangs with plenty of movement – perfect for those autumn days where a bit of extra warmth and style are welcome.


Our team of expert stylists have noticed there’s a shift away from the beachy, tousled look to a more luxe, polished style this season. Curtain bangs now emphasise a “thick, luxurious feeling,” with added lift and volume. At Samuel Chapman Salon, we have all the tips, tools, and expertise to help you achieve this elevated look and make it easy to maintain.


Why Curtain Bangs Work for So Many Face Shapes



One of the best things about curtain bangs is their versatility. They can be customised to suit nearly any face shape, making them a great choice whether you’re looking for a subtle style shift or a total transformation.


Heart-shaped faces are particularly complemented by curtain bangs, as they draw attention to the eyes and cheekbones. They also work wonders for those with a larger forehead, adding balance to facial proportions.


If you’re unsure whether curtain bangs are the right fit for you, our stylists are here to help you make the best choice. By considering your unique face shape, hair texture, and personal style, we can design a custom fringe that’s perfectly suited to you.


How to Style Curtain Bangs This Season: Expert Tips and Tricks


Curtain bangs may look effortless, but there are a few tricks to make them look their best. Styling them is all about adding volume, keeping them fresh, and ensuring they frame your face in the most flattering way.


Here’s our stylist-approved guide to nailing this look at home:


  1. Start with a Rounded Blowout

    Use a round brush or a tool like the Dyson Airwrap to blow-dry your curtain bangs for a soft, rounded curve. Hold the brush or tool under the bangs as you dry, gently pulling them forward to create that signature sweeping effect. Remember to direct the ends outward for a soft, face-framing finish.


  2. Add Volume with a Texturising Spray

    To keep your bangs looking airy and voluminous all day, apply a dry texturising spray. It’s perfect for adding lift and keeping your bangs from falling flat. For an extra boost, spray at the roots and gently lift the bangs with your fingers to create that plush, bouncy look.


  3. Keep It Fresh with Dry Shampoo

    Curtain bangs have a tendency to get oily, especially when they rest on the forehead. A light dusting of dry shampoo not only refreshes them but also adds a touch of texture, keeping them from sticking to your face. Try using it at the start of the day for a fresh, airy look that lasts.


  4. Use Styling Powder for Extra Control

    Styling powders work wonders for curtain bangs, especially if you’re aiming for a thicker, fuller look. Sprinkle a bit onto your bangs and gently work it in for more control and hold. This will keep your bangs lifted and textured without adding weight.


  5. Consider a Little Texture Balm for Polished Ends

    For a more defined finish, a small dab of texture balm or styling cream can work wonders. Rub a little between your fingers, then lightly work it through the ends of your bangs to add separation and shine.


How to Make Curtain Bangs Work for Every Day



While curtain bangs make a fantastic statement, they’re also wonderfully versatile. For casual days, you can embrace a looser, tousled style that works well with your natural texture. But for special occasions or when you want to turn up the glam, a quick blow-dry with a round brush and a touch of styling product can give you a polished, lifted look in minutes.


One of the advantages of curtain bangs is that they blend easily with longer hair, so they’re perfect if you’re growing out a shorter fringe or just want a low-maintenance style that requires minimal trimming.
