How to Cut Trendy Curtain Bangs on a Human Hair Wig (Yes, You Can Totally Do It!)
Want to switch up your look without fully committing? Curtain bangs are the It-Girl move — loved by celebs, TikTokers, and basically anyone who enjoys looking effortlessly cool. And the best part? You can give your human hair wig a chic, face-framing update without a trip to the salon.
Let’s break down how to cut your own curtain bangs — step by step — so your wig gives main character energy every day.
Step 1: Grab Your Tools (And Maybe a Little Courage)
Here’s what you’ll need:
- A pair of sharp haircutting scissors or thinning shears (don’t use your kitchen scissors… please)
- A fine-tooth comb to keep things neat and tidy
- Clips to section the hair like a pro
-
A wig stand or mannequin head (highly recommended unless you’re a mirror ninja)
Step 2: Set the Stage
Place your wig on the mannequin or wig stand and secure it tight — we don’t want her sliding around mid-snip. If you’re feeling bold, you can cut while wearing the wig, but just promise to go slow and use two mirrors if needed.
Step 3: Section, Twist, Snip
Brush the front section of hair forward to determine how long you want your bangs to be (longer is safer if you’re new to this). Now here’s the fun part: twist the hair 180 degrees near the ends. That twist? It’s your secret weapon for that soft, face-hugging shape.
Step 4: Cut Like a Pro (Fake It Till You Make It)
Instead of a blunt straight cut (which screams “I did this at 2AM”), go for a soft, choppy texture. Point your scissors vertically and make tiny snips — think feathering, not chopping firewood. Voilà! That wispy, layered look is what gives curtain bangs their magic.
Hot Tip: Less Is More
If you’re a bang beginner, don’t cut above your cheekbone level. You can always trim more — but gluing hair back on? Not so easy.
Step 5: Final Touches
Comb the bangs out and gently pull the strands to the sides to refine the shape. Snip any stray ends and make sure everything blends naturally. Style with a little heat or leave them slightly tousled — both options say, “I woke up like this.”
Style Your Curtain Bangs Like a Star
Sweep them to the sides for that sultry 70s vibe or wear them forward to flirt with your lashes. However you wear them, curtain bangs add softness, volume, and serious je ne sais quoi to any wig.
💡 Remember: your wig, your rules. But with great scissors comes great responsibility.
Pick a wig you love and give yourself the glow-up with curtain bangs!
