Curtain Bangs, Long Layers and a Plum Twist

About the Curtain Bangs effect

The bangs come out light and wispy rather than heavy, opening in the middle so the brows stay partly visible. The lengths fall past the shoulders in soft waves with slightly curved ends, and the purple reads as violet glints on a near-black base. Makeup is simple: satin skin, taupe lids, a thin brown liner, peach-pink blush and a soft pink lip. The prompt asks for a light gray studio backdrop, but the sample came out with a softly blurred street behind, so the background can vary between runs.

Bangs take months to grow out, so it makes sense to try on bangs digitally first. This effect keeps your length, unlike Wolf Cut or French Bob, and changes only the front and the color. If you want curtain bangs with long hair but not the purple, it takes one edit to the prompt.

Delete the black-and-purple color line at the top of the prompt to keep your own shade, or swap in another color pair you have been curious about, such as black and blue or brown and copper.

Ideas for your Curtain Bangs photo

• Before cutting a fringe

  See whether center-parted bangs flatter your forehead and brows before your stylist picks up the scissors.

• Testing a bold color

  Preview a black and purple tint on yourself before buying semi-permanent dye or booking a color appointment.

• New semester look

  Try a new fringe and color combo ahead of a new school year, job or move, and pick the version you like.

Photo tips for Curtain Bangs

• Show your full forehead and hairline in the photo, with hair pulled back off your face, so the fringe has room to land.
• Look straight into the camera with your head upright; the effect frames you front-on and centers the part.
• Choose a selfie without a hat or headband, since anything on top of your head interferes with the bangs.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get curtain bangs without the purple color?

Yes. The first line of the prompt sets the color to black and purple. Delete it, or replace it with your own shade, and the effect will add the bangs and layered blowout without recoloring your hair.

Why is the background a street and not a studio?

The prompt describes a light gray studio backdrop, but results can vary, and our sample came out with a blurred street scene. For a plain backdrop, generate again or restate the plain gray studio background in the prompt.

Do curtain bangs suit a round face?

They are often recommended for round faces, because the center part and outward sweep add vertical lines and soften the cheeks. The best answer is your own preview, so try it on a clear front-facing selfie.
