In this blog, I’ll share my own step-by-step guide for cutting them at home, my fave tools, and the trending styles for 2025. Whether you want a bold change or a subtle update, let’s unlock your natural beauty together.

Step-by-Step: How to Cut Flattering Curtain Bangs

Tools and Essentials You’ll Need

• Sharp hair cutting scissors: Avoid regular scissors to get a clean, even snip.
• Sectioning comb: This keeps your hair organized and helps you see what you’re working with.
• Spray bottle with water: Slightly damp bangs are easier to cut evenly.
• Clips: Use these to pin back the rest of your hair so it doesn’t get in the way.
• Mirror (and good lighting!): Trust me, seeing both sides clearly matters a lot.

Detailed Cutting Instructions

1. Separate the Bangs Section: Start by parting your hair in the center. Section off a triangle-shaped piece at the front, using your eyebrows as a guide for width. Pin the rest of your hair back.
2. Mist with Water: Lightly spray the section you’re going to cut. You want it damp, not soaking wet.
3. Decide Your Length: Pull the hair down and decide how short you want the shortest point – usually just below the eyebrows is a safe start.
4. Start Snipping: Cut your bangs at a downward angle so they frame your face. Don’t snip straight across, or they’ll look too blunt.
5. Check for Symmetry: Stand back and check both sides in the mirror. Trim where needed, little by little.
6. Style as You Like: Blow dry them with a round brush to give them that swoopy curtain look.

Layered Curtain Bangs for Soft Dimension

This year, I’m seeing more people add layers for a softer look. Layered curtain bangs gently blend with the rest of your hair, creating smooth transitions. It’s the kind of style that works great with wigs with bangs, especially if you want volume.
