A curtain haircut typically involves having your hair split fringe over your face with a middle hair parting. While the front of the hair is left longer, the back and side parts of the hair tend to be cut down.
How to Get a Curtain Haircut
To get this look your hair needs to be medium or long at the top, essentially the fronts of your hair should be touching your top lip. If it isn’t, you might need to grow out your hair a little longer. If you do, read on to learn how to create a curtains hairstyle. Step 1. On damp hair, work through some hair oil to make your tresses smooth. As this look is frizz-free, it’s important to use a hair product that can help you achieve that. Step 2. Take a comb and figure out where you want your middle parting to fall. Once you have done this, you can either let your hair air dry in this shape or if you feel like it won’t hold, use a blow dryer. Step 3. Set your hair dryer to a medium heat setting and direct it as close to your hair as possible to keep the look smooth. Step 4. With the hair dryer in one hand and the brush in the other, brush through your hair, following its natural direction (from the top, downwards) to avoid frizz. Step 5. Once your hair is dry, run a high-holding clay like the Bed Head by TIGI Manipulator Matte Cream through your mane. This will ensure your hair curtains stay in place.

4. Curtain Buzzcut
Buzzcuts never go out of style! Put a twist on your typical buzzcut by implementing the curtain to your haircut.
