Curtains: trendy men's haircut in 2021
Let's take a closer look at the trend
One of the most stylish and eye-catching trends in men's haircuts in 2021 will be the curtains haircut. What are its main characteristics, how it is performed and what stylish options can be offered to clients - we tell you in the material.
The curtains haircut is characterized by long bangs that are parted in the middle so that parts of the bangs fall apart on the sides of the face, like curtains. Therefore, this haircut is often called a curtain haircut.
An interpretation of this haircut was worn by the Irish poet Oscar Wilde at the end of the 19th century. And in the twentieth century, this haircut regained its popularity thanks to the hippie movement in the 60s. And then in the 90s, the style was adopted by famous Hollywood actors Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Nirvana leader Kurt Cobain.
In 2019-2020, curtains gained popularity again; K-Pop performers and TikTok stars began to cut their hair this way more and more often, and gradually the haircut became a trend.
If we compare the appearance of curtains then and now, today they are more universal, they can be easily transformed and individualized for the client. The length of the bangs, the length in the occipital areas, and the volume in the crown area can be changed.
Indeed, there are many variations of curtains: from long haircuts with a parting and curtain bangs to shorter haircuts for light and dark hair, medium length for curly hair, and long wavy hair. The curtains haircut looks good with a beard.
How are curtains cut?
Curtain bangs and the crown area are cut to the same length. If this is an option for curly hair, then you need to take this into account and leave more length with a margin so as not to end up with too short a length. Accordingly, the lateral and occipital zones are cut shorter so that the crown length “breaks up” on the sides.
Styling also plays an important role, because without it this particular haircut will look inferior, especially if the hair is not straight. In styling, the most important thing and characteristic of curtains is to carefully highlight the parting.
