Curtain bangs paired with medium-length layers create a balanced hairstyle that combines structure with flexibility. This haircut typically falls between the shoulders and chest, which allows the layers to shape the hair without removing too much length. The curtain bangs introduce softness around the face while the medium layers create movement throughout the hairstyle.
The layers in this haircut are shorter than those used in long layered hairstyles. Because of this, the hairstyle gains more volume near the crown. The layered structure also prevents the ends from appearing overly thick. This balance allows the hair to maintain fullness while remaining easy to style.

Curtain bangs enhance this haircut by providing a natural frame around the face. The bangs part slightly in the center and blend into the surrounding layers. This integration helps the hairstyle appear cohesive rather than segmented.
To create this haircut, begin by sectioning the front portion of the hair to form the curtain bangs. Comb the section forward and trim gradually while angling the scissors outward. The shortest point should fall near the eyebrows while the outer edges extend toward the cheekbones.
Next, divide the remaining hair into several sections. Starting near the crown, lift each section upward and trim small portions to form the layers. Continue working downward until all sections blend smoothly into the base length. This step-by-step method ensures the layers integrate naturally with the curtain bangs.
