The sides is slightly shorter but still long enough to create the curtain effect. Style with minimal product for a natural, effortless 90s-inspired look. The hair appears soft, flowing, and romantically tousled.

The curtains hairstyle is the medium-length cut with hair parted in the middle, falling to the cheekbones in two curtain-like sections. Leonardo DiCaprio circa 1995-1997 is the founding modern image; the 90s grunge era brought the cut into mainstream Western fashion. The style traces aesthetically to 1960s Beatles-era styling but the specific 'curtains' framing is firmly 90s.
It flatters oval, heart, and oblong faces — the parted middle elongates oblong faces by adding visual height, and the curtain framing softens heart-shaped foreheads. Straight and wavy hair show the curtains cleanest; curly hair adapts but the curtains are softer. Hair must be at least 8-10 cm long on top for the curtains to fall to the cheekbones.
Medium daily maintenance — blow-dry the front parted middle, sweep down and outward in the curtain shape. Five minutes. Trim every six weeks. The style went mainstream in 1995-1997 alongside the 90s grunge aesthetic, faded through the early 2000s, and returned strongly in 2019-2023 alongside the broader Y2K and 90s revivals (Timothée Chalamet, Harry Styles all wore versions). Ask for 'medium length on top, parted in the middle, falling like curtains to the cheekbones — Leo DiCaprio circa 1995.' Naming the reference lands exactly right.
