Hi everyone welcome back to my channel and in today's video, we're gon na be talking all about curtain things, so we're gon na be talking about the key things to look out for what you want out of your curtain, bangs, and also i'm going to show you Step by step, how to cut them. So if you've been thinking about getting this super hot trend, hopefully watching this quick tutorial will help you understand better. If this is something for you, i'm such a visual person that seeing it be done just really helps me understand the look kind of from every corner and angle but yeah. I think the reason why these bangs are so in is because they are so versatile. They look good on almost every single face shape, but it just adds basically a sophisticated and chic accessory to your hair, so whether you're looking to actually try this on yourself or just here for a little bit of inspo stay tuned and let's get into it all Right guys, so, as you can see here, i've already done one side, i'm going to be showing you how to do it on this side, but just to touch on some key points that i think are going to get your curtain. Bangs to perfection is, first of all, you need a pretty good slant. What that means is from your shortest piece to your longest piece. You want a pretty long kind of a transition. We see a lot of this, and this to me is just straight across banks that are a little bit long and kind of brushed to the side. So great curtain bang has a beautiful sweep coming over. So there's this beautiful, almost disconnect here at the eye, which brings a ton of attention to the eye which is so flattering so this looks beautiful when the hair is down obviously or when the hair is up. So in establishing that length, i think a good rule of thumb is for that and to just kind of skim the brow so the shorter. This starting piece here is the more kourtney bang vibe you're, going to get, but also that's going to entail a lot more styling and manipulation. So if this is your first time getting bangs in a while and you want something that is going to look beautiful but is going to be pretty easy to manage, i recommend, starting with the shortest piece, like i said at least skimming the brow. So i'm going to grab the two center pieces here grabbing a piece here from this already cut side as a guide, all right. So then just kind of glide cutting through that just to establish that slant, and then we can go in and perfect it and establishing. My length down here so now this is my longest piece and my shortest piece here. So when we just do that bluntly, the first time, obviously this doesn't look very elevated, doesn't look very soft. A good haircut is always something that, with movement, it kind of always just looks good. It doesn't have to be brushed or style in a certain way. It should look good, whether it's straight whether it's wavy, whether it's blown out and so basically we have our length down, but the next steps is what's really going to elevate it. Then i like to grab a kind of triangular shape at the base there and then elevate the hair by elevating the hair. You are creating a little bit of softness for when that hair falls. Another thing you want to do a lot when you do bangs is point cutting and the deeper you go. In my opinion, the softer more kind of pc the ends. Look then grabbing that next section, with a little bit of that previous section again as a guide. Without touching this bottom section here, because that's the length you've already established, you don't want to mess with that now, just going in and point cutting and it's important to keep checking you obviously don't want to cut too much length off or too much point cutting to Where the ends get a little too wispy or a little too thin, so once you're happy with kind of the density of it. I think this is a good place to stop. Now all bangs are going to require a little bit of style to really get that beautiful photo shoot. Look. So when you're looking at it profile, you want it to almost come forward this way, it gives it a very feminine, like airy, very effortless kind of look. So, in order to get that the main thing you have to do when styling is first to go in with the blow dryer and blow dry up as you bring the brush forward. So what that's going to establish is that this hair, here at the base, is going to come forward and swoop out and then the shorter your pieces are up here, you're going to want to take either just a round brush and a blow dryer. You can use a curling iron, basically wrap the hair around the brush or your wand, and blow dry going this way so that you create a little bit more swoopiness to the ends. Is that a real hair term? And there you have it taking her hair down? So you can see it kind of more styled and a little more lived in with the rest of her hair, but, like i said, i think this style just looks so beautiful whether the hair is up or down so versatile, so chic, so in so yeah. I hope you found this video and tutorial helpful, even if you're not going to be doing this cut on yourself at home, but at least hopefully it's given you a better understanding of this super in style. So hopefully, you've taken some great inspiration from this video and thank you guys so much for watching and i'll see you in the next one bye guys you

London Jean Semberg: You missed the most important part I feel, which is how much hair I should include in the bang, how to part it and where to separate it. This is where I’ve gone wrong before.
Katebeautyx: Love it. Wish you’d explain how to cut it on oneself at home start to finish
monica matos: What a brilliant video! Thank you so much for taking the time to demonstrate and discuss!
Su Moreiras: Ficou linda! ☺️♀️
hayley kelleher: I’ve have asked hairdressers for years to cut my fringe like this and they have always cut it into a overgrown fringe! So thank you for this I finally know how it’s done xx
Gabi: This was SO interesting. I did a tutorial on my channel on how to cut this on yourself since we are in lockdown again and my clients are desperate but I actually cut it totally differently. I like the idea of connecting the ends of the fringe to the hair and sliding down. It makes for a really smooth transition to the rest of the hair. Very cool. Thanks girl.
Wendy Hope: Love this! Thank you for explaining the cut this way. I wasn’t even sure what to ask for when I go to see my stylist. Now I know!
katykuki: This is exactly what I needed to finish my curtain bangs! I was missing one key step and she taught it here! Thankssss❤
Nina Smith: Thank you Sylvia this helped SO much! Thanks for the demonstration keep 'em coming!❤️
Shell Bell: YES!! Thank you so much. I have tried this myself before and it did't turn out too well so I'm so happy you have created this tutorial.
Tania B: I keep following your tutorials on coloring with redken + cutting my own hair, following you made it work to my satisfactory and my hairdresser was even impressed by the result , so thank you!
Emilina Johnstone: Love your videos! You always explain it so well. Thank you <3
Sherry S: Your hairstyle is so beautiful! I would love you to show us step by step how you cut and curl yours to look like it does in this video!!!!
Lila T: Quick question, are these bangs able to look good with a slight side parting or even a deeper side part? Or do they need to be cut depending on where you part your hair and then always have to keep it at that parting?
BendnStretch with Sue: This is awesome! It was so helpful love, thank you!
Lynda Rogers: Great video, I wish you would have shown the sectioning part of this also. I feel like that it one on the most important parts of cutting, otherwise, beautiful!

Jo Jennings: Really helpful, thank you so much for sharing
Kristina M Chatzinikolaou: Loveeeeee your videos! You are soft spoken always present in what you’re doing and explaining, can’t wait to watch more☺️
Simona Grigoruta: That's an inspirational video and the result is awesome. However, it's not recommended to cut your own bangs even if it looks easy to do. If you want a change in your look, always go to a professional, someone that you trust, especially for big changes like the colour of your hair or trying a new hairstyle. It's ok to cut your own split ends or trim your existent bangs making sure it's better to cut too little rather than too much.
Laura C: I’ve had long curtain bangs since I was probably about 12 (I’m 35 now) I’ve never get rid of them!!! I love that I can pull them back if I want to
jacqueline keeley: Brilliant tutorial! Thank you
Evangelina Nina Escobedo: Never mind, Just have it professionally done. Thanks anyways, very well said!

Foofie2005: Thanks for the tips at the end on the blow drying! Tried it yesterday and it made a big difference So I had to comeback and Thank You
astrid: Oh wow i finally got round to book an appointment with hairdresser and I'm really tempted to ask for curtain bangs. At the same time I'm paranoid I'll end up with wonky fringe and regret it. AGAIN... What you showed here it makes me want to have that exact hairstyle! Absolutely love it!
Susan Thibodaux: How deep does this cut begin? Does it involve side hair? Or just front traditional bangs? We did not get to see you section the hair. Pros may know this intuitively, but I don't!
Alicia Davis: I think everyone struggles with how to start this, such as how much hair to take, where to start the part, etc. that would be first and foremost.
Amber Hollo: I tried to cut some shorter face pieces a few weeks ago myself. Wish i had this video then. Haha. Im going in 4 days to have it fixed professionally. Didnt think curtain bangs would be what i want, but i think it is. So thanks!
Brittany Jones: @ elle bangs so helpful! & Also I literally want your hair colour + style its so beautiful ! What would I ask my stylist for that would be something similar to yours? thank you!

Kalhessi: I love ❤️ your hair color!! Perfect
Shell Bell: How do you know how much hair to include in the entire bang? Do you take the hair up to the ear like you do when you section into quadrants?
GonePostal129: So, how should you part or section the hair before you even begin cutting?
Myrna's Way in Sweden: I love it! Thank u for sharing
Giovanna Gior: Hey, could you make a video of same kind going from black/dark brown to natural blonde, I think many will find it helpful!
Kaitlin Beste: Omg your hair is on point I love it love it this is your signature hair

T N: I don’t even do hair- and I love watching your videos ♥️
Kim Garbino: Please tell me how your hair is cut and styled it’s absolutely stunning
Vicki Noland: I have waist long all one length hair. Want some kind of bang but my stylist says there is nothing I can have with my hair being this long? I have fine hair and basically straight with some slight wave. Would curtain bangs make it look too disjointed? What do you suggest for extremely long hair besides cutting it?
Butter Fly-Girl: Love Elle Bangs! Thx beautiful lady ♥️
SChaffee: Where was this two years ago!? J/K but it's frustrating to take a picture into a stylist and come out with something similar but not quite what you were looking for. I was always told it was called slivered sides but now they've termed it curtain bangs maybe I can find a stylist that can do this cut. Saving this video to share with my stylist.

Luna Linda: I wish you would cut my hair like today
thoughts&behaviours: I don't know who else needs this reminder besides me...do you need to cut bangs or book a therapy appointment? Maybe both ♀️
Manuela Oliveira: Vídeo só para profissional!
Tammy Hibbs: I followed the video brad Mondo did, he did explain how to part them. But in all fairness my bangs look more like so what not to do picture so I think I’m going to have to add more hair and try and make them fuller.
