When it comes to 2025 hair trends, the bob has once again proven itself to be a timeless style that’s here to stay. Over the years, we’ve seen so many different bob variations—from the sleek flicked bob to the statement square bob and even the revival of ’60s bob cuts. However, one particular style has been taken over my Instagram feed lately, and it’s set to be a dominating spring hair trend.
Enter the curtain bang bob, the effortlessly chic hairstyle that’s been embraced by stylish Europeans and our favourite celebrities alike and offers the perfect balance between ease and elegance. Low-maintenance yet ultra-sophisticated, the curtain-bang bob is the style I suspect everyone will be booking for this season.
What is a Curtain-Bang Bob?
The curtain bang bob is a more undone take on the classic bob hairstyle that features soft, face-framing bangs that part in the middle (hence the name curtain). This cut combines the effortless sophistication of bangs with the chic structure of a shorter hairstyle, which creates a flattering, versatile look which will suit a wide range of face shapes and hair textures. Unlike a more prominent full fringe, curtain bangs blend in more seamlessly with the rest of your bob, allowing for easy styling as well as upkeep. Whether you choose to wear it polished or slightly more tousled, its ability to grow out gracefully makes for a low-maintenance style that you won’t have to make constant trips to the salon for.
Why Should You Get a Curtain-Bang Bob?
The curtain-bang bob is the ultimate blend of style and simplicity. Not only does it frame the face beautifully and give it more structure, but the undone nature of curtain bangs also ensures that you can let them grow out for much longer than a classic fringe without your hair looking unkempt. It’s also extremely versatile, suiting straight, wavy or curly hair. You can wear it tousled for a chic but low-effort everyday vibe, but this style can equally work for more formal events with the right styling techniques. I’d also argue that this is not a fleeting hair trend that will suddenly go out of style. The mix of two of the most classic cuts ensures its ability to withstand the test of time.
