The bardot or curtain fringe, as it is also called, was a sensation in the 70s and is now a huge success among fashionistas.
Changing your hair is always a good option to spice up your look and change it up a bit. However, choosing a new haircut is not an easy task. After all, this choice depends on your face shape, hair type and your style, not to mention the fear of not looking good. Bangs are a good option to change your look, and despite being controversial in the past, today they are making women’s minds. An example of this is bardot bangs, which were popular in the 1970s.
Also known as curtain bangs or curtain bangs, the Bardot fringe became popular because it is one of the most iconic haircuts and trademark of French actress Brigitte Bardot. This type of fringe deviates from the strictly cut standard, and comes with a much more deconstructed and laid-back vibe.
Furthermore, shorter, looser strands frame the face and give the hair more movement. The difference with the bardot fringe is that it is very democratic, that is, it suits various face shapes and hair types, and of course it is simply charming.
So if you’re interested, let’s learn a little more about bardot bangs and a tutorial on how to make the cut at home.
Bardot fringe
For those who think that bangs don’t suit everyone, know that there are several cut styles for all face shapes and tastes. The bardot or curtain fringe is one of them. This fringe was very successful in the 70s, mainly because it was the haircut most worn by Brigitte Bardot.
It is a layered fringe, in which the shortest part is concentrated at eye level. It is a very versatile cut and can be worn in various ways, such as sideways or backwards. But the most used style is the fringe divided in half, with the aim of creating a central slit.
It also stands out for not being exactly straight and millimetric. The good thing about bardot bangs is that the “messier” the better, offering a modern, practical and very charming touch.
And as previously mentioned, this fringe offers many possibilities and can be used on various face and hair shapes. This is because it is not as short as a traditional fringe. Basically, the cut is divided in half, and lengthens on the side, which offers a good frame to the face, working well with various shapes.
Therefore, it is a good option for those who want to start wearing bangs. Furthermore, it has the advantage that if the result is not to your liking, you can pin it on the side, disguising the shape until the hair grows back.
