In girl world, getting bangs typically symbolizes a change. Bangs can be tricky to get right—and once they’re cut, it can feel like a lot of commitment for insufficient reward. That’s where curtain bangs come in.
Flattering on everyone, you never regret a curtain bang. Not only can they be cut to suit individual face shape, hair texture, and aesthetic, but they’re also easy to style, and can be easily grown out if they don’t feel quite right. Kaia Gerber’s hair is a great current example of curtain bangs done right: effortless, cool, and cut to perfection.
In new snaps posted to her Instagram—showing off new merch for her book club, Library Science —Gerber showcased her long, face-framing bangs, which skimmed the bottom of her supermodel cheekbones. Long enough to tie up into a ponytail and tuck behind her ears, her versatile fringe is the ideal entry point for anyone feeling hesitant about bangs. Why? Because her bangs are cut to melt into the rest of her haircut, almost like another layer.
