He explains that the bangs are cut at a slight angle-starting short at the center of your hairline and gradually getting longer toward your ears. “It has the feel of a grown-out fringe,” says Levi Monarch, a stylist at New York-based Rob Peetoom Salon and the maestro scheduled to cut my hair.
Ahead, learn more about the fringe and my experience getting the look. It's a shakier premise when you find yourself in front of the bathroom mirror late at night, spontaneously hacking away at your hair with a pair of kitchen scissors you've just used to collect.
(Again, did you see Hadid’s hair?) I had what seemed like 3,000 questions-so I asked top experts to weigh in. Even though I wasn’t scheduling a full-blown haircut, I knew that the slightest tweak to any hair look can have a transformative effect. I decided to take the plunge as photos of celebrities with the look, like Ariana Grande in her 34+35 music video and new mom Gigi Hadid (who, BTW, garnered 3.6 million comments on her fringed look in the first few hours of her posting her selfie) made it that much more covetable.Īdmittedly, I was apprehensive before making my hair appointment. My itch to get the fringe began during the lengthy quarantine period-between my phase of scrolling through banana bread recipes and stint as a whipped coffee barista for my best friend. As Bataille explains, Birkin bangs “stay fairly tight to the eyes and brows, while the ends are thin and wispy.” He also mentioned that the trendy cut features less hair than blunt bangs, which leaves more room for texture and dimension around the face.Thinking about getting curtain bangs? I feel you. Curtain bangs have longer pieces at the ends that lay mid-cheek to chin-length and are often fuller and heavier like regular blunt bangs. It all comes down to their length and width. OK, What Is the Difference Between Birkin Bangs and Curtain Bangs? Regardless of how you rock ‘em, the look is universally flattering on all face shapes and textures. While Jane Birkin herself wore fuller bangs in the ‘60s, the modern take is a bit wispier and has a piecey finish that accentuates your facial features. “This style of bang-while short and straight enough to make a statement-has softer, choppier characteristics to it that give them an added femininity.”
“Birkin bangs have sharp corners that frame the face and are great for people who like the idea of a full fringe, but don’t want it to fully close in on their faces in a solid heavy shape,” explains Smith.
