Curtain Fringe

Length through the front, parted in the middle and swept to both sides. It needs real length before it works — most people give up during the awkward month rather than at the cut itself.

What to say

Ask for it like this.

Barbers work from instructions, not vibes. These are the three things that decide whether you get this cut or something adjacent to it.

  1. Ask for a curtain fringe and say whether you want a hard middle part or a soft one.
  2. Ask for the fringe to reach at least the eyebrow, or it will not part.
  3. Say you want the sides kept, not faded, if you want the softer version.
Living with it

Four to five weeks. Growing into it takes about three months from short.
