Curtain Bangs Hairstyles on Long and Short Hair

To create this coveted bang look, many experts recommend starting by sectioning off the hair that you want to be cut into bangs. After you’ve gathered the amount of hair you want, begin to cut the length off. Many hairstylists are twisting the hair a tad and using the scissors vertically with a slight diagonal slant to create texture on the ends of the bangs. Then letting the bangs hang down, trim any pieces needed to create a ‘piecey’ type of look on the ends and adjust the length where needed.
