1. Decide if they work for your texture

2. Pick your length
Curtain bangs can be varying lengths since they don’t fall directly into your face. Longer curtain bangs will be less noticeable, while shorter ones will be more prominent. The length of your curtain bangs might depend on your face shape, hair length, and if you want to be able to put them back in a ponytail.
3. Decide how thick you want them
Thin curtain bangs hang on the sides of your face, framing the face nicely. The more hair you have cut the further forward the bangs will come. The thicker the bangs the more forehead they will cover. Start with thinner bangs and have your stylish cut more as you go.
