Do curtain bangs work on curly hair?

Why bangs panic on curls

Hairline curls often differ from mid-lengths. Wet cutting then shrinks into triangles or uneven curtains.

Dry-cut logic

Bring defined wash-day photos. Ask for length that still frames when fully dry. Pair with wolf cut only if density allows both.

Styling the fringe

Dampen bangs separately if needed.
Pea-size leave-in max.
Soft gel/mousse—not butter.
Diffuse on low or air-dry hands-off.
Separate curtain when 100% dry.
