Simply put: Leave curtain bangs to the pros. “If you can give your bangs 10 minutes, you’re done,” assures Townsend.
In addition to more trips to the salon for bang trims, there’s also the additional maintenance like more cleansing (bangs tend to get greasy because they absorb the oil, sweat, makeup, and SPF from your face) and daily finessing-though many consider the latter to be far and away worth it. “Some people find the feeling of hair on the face uncomfortable or it might be more practical to have hair fully swept back day to day,” he says. For one, there’s the sheer physicality of bangs. “Before taking the plunge, consider if bangs will suit your lifestyle,” says François.
While curtain bangs are coveted for good reason, you do have to weigh if they’ll be right for you across the board.
