Jennifer Lopez Got Curtain Bangs, and They Look So Good

It’s unclear how long the change is going to stick around, though, because according to Appleton, her bangs are actually the result of some extremely convincing clip-ins. He shared some details on the look during a masterclass for ColorWow the following day.

“The secret to a good curtain bang is closing the forehead shape,” he said. “I like to use ColorWow's Raise the Root volumizing spray on dry hair, then grab a hair dryer and a big round brush to pull the hair forward and down, while hitting it with heat for a couple of seconds.” This technique, he says, will help your bangs act more like a curtain to frame your face. 

Looking at the photo of J.Lo, it’s not hard to see why curtain bangs have spiked as one of the most popular haircuts this year. Curtain bangs are extremely versatile, blending perfectly with straight, wavy, and curly textures. (Just look at the examples here for proof.) 

The best part? They’re super easy to manage. “They don’t take on the commitment of adding a full-throttle bang to your hair,” celebrity hairstylist Alex Brown told Glamour. “They’re less work and are so easy to grow out.”

That’s good if you’re someone like Jennifer Lopez, who is all about experimenting when it comes to her hair. Case in point: Back in March she made the case for bringing back chunky highlights—yes, that very style you had back in 2002.

So yeah, if TikTok and Bella Hadid have made you consider giving curtain bangs a shot, let Lopez be that final push. You won’t be sorry.
