Retromania is in full swing. In fashion, we’re going back to the 2000s, which were recently considered synonymous with kitsch and embarrassment. Cargo pants, crop tops, and wide pants with lettering have returned. And what about beauty? In this case, we’re going back over 60 years because French bangs are the year's biggest hit.
It's worth recalling Brigitte Bardot's iconic hairstyle. In the 60s, every woman wanted to look like her. Bardot favoured the "beehive", meaning heavily teased hair, and the characteristic, eye-skimming, flipped bangs somewhat softened this look. It turns out that hairstyles of this style are making a comeback.
French bangs are a hit for summer
Unlike classic bangs, the French version is much thinner and longer. The strands fall freely on the face, creating a characteristic frame. Although it may not be very convenient daily, this cut provides a huge styling field.
You can flip, curl, or roll them onto rollers to achieve the desired volume. French bangs soften and elongate facial features because the hair falls on both sides of the face.
How to style "curtain bangs"?
This type of bangs even got its name. It’s referred to as "curtain bangs" or curtain bangs. How to style them? It all depends on your individual preferences.
If you’re a fan of the "messy look", like Kristen Stewart, apply a small amount of mousse to your hair after washing it and dry it with a hairdryer. While drying, take a round brush and gently flip the hair outwards. Finally, you can spray it with sea salt. It will give you delicate waves.
Are you dreaming of a 60s-inspired hairstyle? It’s very simple. Dampen your bangs, wrap them around a round brush, and then turn on the hairdryer. While drying, flip the brush inward, gently rotating it. This way, you’ll achieve perfectly round bangs like Sabrina Carpenter.
Don’t have much time? Just brush it out and let it air dry, then split the strands into two parts and gently "tousle" them around your face with your fingers. As seen, this type of bangs offers a huge styling field.
