Had to google what curtain bangs are since I didn’t know curtains had bangs hah!

ferneytorro · 05/03/2023 15:27

Curtain swags? My mum had them in the eighties.

TwilightSilhouette · 05/03/2023 15:28

What are they? Are they American?

Shesinthegym · 05/03/2023 15:29

No they are making a big comeback and all the youngsters are getting them.

inloveandmarried · 05/03/2023 15:29

Curtain pelmet? I've not seen them for a while.

DidyouNO · 05/03/2023 15:38

I've never heard of curtain bangs.

ComeTheFckOnBridget · 05/03/2023 15:46

Do you mean the hairstyle? Curtains are very 90s!

Yet curtains and blinds together are perfect for blocking out sun and heat, or for keeping warmth in during the winter.

I thought pelmets went out of fashion a long time ago? I quite like the idea of them returning, like vinyl LPs

ConsuelaHammock · 05/03/2023 15:50

I love the box pelmet look for curtains.

Nope they’re not going anywhere atm ! And bottle neck bangs are a variation of curtain bangs so versatile u don’t have to have them styled like curtains bangs can be swept over to side ect ! Short bobs are all in and lived in blonds big atm lots of roots melts reverse balayages on blondes and lots of dimension x

Please say curtain bangs are over and have a vote so I can persuade my son who has had them for 2 years now to get his hair cut 💇‍♂️

YukoandHiro · 05/03/2023 15:55

Ha ha this thread is gold!

Newyeardietstartstomorrow · 05/03/2023 15:56

I seriously don't know if this thread is about hair or interior design- I'm following though, it looks fun so far 🤣🤣

FKATondelayo · 05/03/2023 15:57

My curtains don't bang unless the rail falls down. Is there a support group for me?

SnappyTheCrocodile · 05/03/2023 15:59

Lol I hope not, I’m in the process of growing my hair out and still cultivating mine 😂

HadEnoughOfBears · 05/03/2023 16:03

I don't know if people in this thread are being serious or deliberately obtuse
Anyway, pic attached of curtain bangs for anyone who is genuinely confused:

That’s grown out fringe to me. Bangs isn’t a UK thing

NextPrimeMinister · 05/03/2023 16:07

Probably. I've just had them done and wouldn't class myself as an early adopter.

ShowOfHands · 05/03/2023 16:08

Bangs is what the yoof at school call a fringe. Curtain bangs are a long, grown out fringe. They would also tell you to "search it up" no doubt.

ShowOfHands · 05/03/2023 16:09

(they're really popular still btw)

Waxlyrically · 05/03/2023 16:10

I thought this was about tie backs, which I still have for my curtains. Why are those hairstyles called curtain bangs? I can sort of see why curtains but it’s the bangs bit I don’t get.

Bangs is the American term for a fringe.

TalliskerMcSpeculate · 05/03/2023 16:12

Bangs is American. It's fringe in the UK. Hair related.

But the misunderstandings are hilarious 😁

Whyisitsososohard · 05/03/2023 16:17

Curtains and curtain bangs/ fringe are totally different things. To various pp talking more about the curtain haircut.
