Trend Alert ~ Curtain Bangs ~ by Nikki B.

Posted on Posted in Trend Alerts

If KC and The Sunshine Band songs start playing in your head when viewing the Curtain Bang trend for this Fall, it is no wonder!  This very 70’s-esque fringe style boasts long bangs with a curved center part, giving it that casual good vibe feel.  Best on finer to medium textures, this is one style that works best when the hair is silky, less stiff, nor rigid from a tough blowout.

Curtain Bangs are soft and flowing and often paired with a long shag haircut or this season’s Clavicut.  But because the Curtain Bang area is much shorter in comparison to the rest of the haircut this allows scalp oils to reach the ends more quickly.  Therefore, they may need shampooing more frequently, even possibly daily, especially fine textures.

Cleansing bangs with a shampoo extending cleansing product, like our P2 by Philip Pelusi DeTox Shampoo Treatment, helps hair and scalp stay cleaner longer.  This shampoo gives the scalp and hair a gentle color safe cleanse while its proprietary Micro Emulsion, the Philip Pelusi Ivy Rocket Blend, with Ivy, Rocket Leaf, Watercress and Whortleberry, puts the scalp in Ph balance.  This helps slow down the production of scalp sebaceous oils while creating shine and body.

Cleansing just your Curtain Bangs area can be tricky.  So, we recommend looping this fringe cleanse in with a face cleansing routine.  Right before cleansing the face, tie longer hair back, away from the face, leaving the fringe area out.  Next, wet fringe and shampoo, rinse thoroughly at the sink, ring dripping water and clip back.  Follow with your normal face cleansing routine, to remove any scalp debris that might have landed on the face.  Follow with skin care and hair care applications then style the fringe area as usual.  By the way we recommend, P2 by Philip Pelusi PURE Skin Care products too!

But if there is no time to shampoo, try a couple mists of our P2 Lite Leave-In Conditioner.  This weightless hydrator makes hair slightly damp, so have your blow-dryer ready for a quick style adjustment or simply airdry if that’s your usual routine.  P2 Lite contains the skin care humectant Hyaluronic Acid to help rejuvenate hair’s condition while acting as a heat protectant.

And for super shortcut to a fringe redo, we recommend a hair refresher and texturizing combo, our P2 by Philip Pelusi RefresHair Smart Styling Treatment and Texture Spray.  This acts as a hair fragrance and style refresher all in one!  White Tea and Thyme freshen the hair’s scent, helping to neutralize any odors.  We often have guests purchase this for the fragrance alone as a hair “perfume”.  But P2 RefresHair offers so much more.  Sunflower provides shine and heat protection when touching up hair with a flat or curling iron.  The formula overall is designed to boost texture while UV protectants help filter harmful sunrays.
