Korean Curtain Bangs: How to Cut and Style
This fringe isn't going away anytime soon.
Curtain bangs, Korean style, have you ever heard of a better combo?
Curtain bangs have become a staple in many haircuts over the past few years. This fringe style allows you to test the waters with bangs without fully committing to a full, straight-across style.
Korean curtain bangs are a popular low-maintenance variation of this look we’ve seen on celebrities and everyday people, alike. They add a flattering face-framing element to any style, but they can be pushed to the side or worn back if you don’t want to show off the fringe.

How to Ask for Korean Curtain Bangs
When asking your hairstylist for Korean curtain bangs, explain that you want fringe cut on an angle, starting right around the top of your cheekbone and then gradually getting longer at the end.
The exact point where the fringe starts can vary depending on your face shape and the specific look you’re going for. This type of fringe is most flattering with a middle part, so how you part your hair is something to consider when trying this look. Plus, it never hurts to bring a few inspo pictures with you.
Want layered Korean curtain bangs? Go for it! Layered Korean curtain bangs look super cute and can give your hair more body. Just remember to bring a picture of your favorite types of layered Korean curtain bangs for reference.
If you’re feeling adventurous or want to touch up your bangs without going to the salon, you can try to cut your Asian curtain bangs at home.
