Curtain-Fringed Soft Side Part Lob
How to Create
The curtain-fringed soft side part lob combines the relaxed cheekbone-framing effect of retro curtain bangs with the structural cleanliness of a classic long bob. In this design, the face-framing fringe is layered to hit right at the cheekbones, feathering outward and backward away from the face. Shifting the part slightly off-center allows the curtain fringe to drape asymmetrically, with one side creating an open sweep across the forehead while the other tucks neatly behind the ear. This hybrid style bridges the gap between full bangs and layered hair, providing an adaptable look that flatters high foreheads and accentuates the eyes.

To create this soft framed style, begin by separating the triangular front fringe section from the rest of your damp hair. Apply a light thermal styling lotion throughout, using a small round brush to blow-dry the curtain fringe forward and under toward the nose. Once dry, roll the fringe backward away from the face using the brush while blasting with the blow dryer cool shot to set the outward flare. Blow-dry the remaining lob length with a large paddle brush for a smooth, relaxed finish. Use your fingers to part the fringe slightly to the side, allowing the shorter curtain layers to wing outward naturally toward the temples, framing the face in soft, flowing layers.
