About this look

Bardot bangs are the long, soft, slightly grown-out curtain bangs that Brigitte Bardot wore through the 1960s — falling to the cheekbone, parted in the middle, sweeping outward in a deliberate forward motion. The shape is built into the cut; styling just maintains it. They sit at the cheekbone, never the chin (that's a curtain bang lob); never above the brow (that's just bangs).

They suit round, square, and oblong faces — the outward sweep slims the cheekbones, balances strong jawlines, and shortens long faces by adding visual width. Straight and wavy textures wear them most cleanly; curly hair can adapt the shape but needs a curl-trained cut to keep the sweep. The bangs grow into face-framing layers gracefully, which is part of why they've stayed in rotation for sixty years.

Low daily maintenance — blow-dry with a round brush in the outward direction, three minutes. Trim every six weeks; if you stretch to eight, the bangs start dropping into your eyes. The Bardot bang re-emerged in 2017 (the year stylists started saying 'curtain bangs' aloud again) and never fully left. Ask for 'long bangs to the cheekbone, parted in the middle, swept outward' — generic 'bangs' will get you something blunter and shorter.

Cut long curtain bangs at the cheekbone, with the longest pieces grazing the jaw — Brigitte Bardot.
