How 4 Chic Influencers Style Their Curtain Bangs To Perfection

One of the most important things to consider when contemplating the oh-so-trendy curtain bangs is how you're going to style them at home. Most hairdressers will warn out that the shorter, face-framing strands that graze your forehead might be extra temperamental, uniquely prone to looking frizzy or greasy, and should be treated with extra TLC.

Now, this caveat could dissuade you from cutting curtain bangs altogether, but it doesn't have to. Ahead, we've put together the ultimate curtain-bang styling guide, with product recommendations from Instagram influencers — all with different hair types and textures — who've mastered the art.

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.

If You Want: Soft & Feathered Fringe Like Violette

Violette_Fr Frange Puff Dry Shampoo Brush

According to Parisian makeup artist Violette Serrat, the key to getting curtain bangs to feather open just so is to brush them — not spray them — with dry shampoo. Because there was no powder shampoo formula on the market that worked for her, Serrat made her own, housed under her new product label, Violette_Fr. Now, she says, it's the only tool she uses to style and refresh her long bangs.

If You Want: Bouncy Ringlet Bangs Like Jayme Jo Massoud

Christophe Robin Cleansing Purifying Scrub with Sea Salt

Massoud, an Australian influencer and self-proclaimed "curl enthusiast," describes her curl pattern as 3B. In a recent video posted to her YouTube channel, she says that her secret to keeping her curls, particularly her face-framing curtain bangs, soft and bouncy is to really cleanse her scalp in the shower. She uses Christophe Robin's sea salt scrub, which ensures that her canvas is nice and clean so bangs are featherlight, not weighed down by any oil or product buildup.

If You Want: A Smooth, Voluminous Blowout Like Chiara Wolff

Kristin Ess Volumizing + Smoothing Large Round Hair Brush

If you have extra-long curtain bangs, like Hair Me Out star Chiara Wolff, you can style the strands as you would any shorter layers. In this case, celebrity stylist Aaron Watkins, the pro behind Wolff's recent curtain-bang cut, recommends blowing out the front pieces using a natural-fiber round brush to create that smooth, voluminous bounce around the face.

If You Want: Perfectly-Defined Curls Like Julissa Guillen

Taliah Waajid Green Apple & Aloe Nutrition Curl Definer

Vlogger Julissa Guillen recently shared her hair routine, styling her curtain bangs with her natural curls. She credits Taliah Waajid Green Apple & Aloe Curl Definer, which she scrunches into her damp hair to moisturize her curls before diffusing them dry. If her bangs ever feel too heavy or don't fall right, she'll simply clip them back off her face in a half-up — problem solved.
