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

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.

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

DidyouNO · 05/03/2023 15:38

I've never heard of curtain bangs.

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 😁

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