AfterMen's curtain bangs, also called a middle-part or 'curtains' haircut, are medium-length hair on top that's parted in the center and falls to both sides of the forehead, like a pair of curtains. The sides are usually shorter, from a soft taper to a fade. The style was everywhere in the 1990s and has come back with more texture and a messier finish.
Texture and the sides change the look the most. Every example here was made with SnipMirror on an AI-generated model, and you can try any of them on your own photo.
Loose waves on top falling to both sides of the part. Low effort: scrunch in a light cream and let it air-dry.

The same middle-part fringe with the sides faded down short. Sharper, cleaner, and more current than the soft 90s version.

His center-parted blond curtains in Romeo + Juliet (1996) and Titanic (1997) are the defining 90s version.
Johnny Depp
His tousled, middle-parted hair in the early 1990s is the standard reference for grungier, longer curtains.
David Beckham
His center-parted curtains, bleached blond by 1999, were his signature look at Manchester United.

Ask for curtain bangs: 3 to 4 inches on top, cut so it parts in the center and falls to both sides around the eyebrows or cheekbones. Say how short you want the sides, a scissor-cut taper for a softer look or a fade for a sharper one. Ask for texture on top so it doesn't look heavy. Showing your SnipMirror preview makes the length easy to agree on.
They suit most oval, long and square faces, and straight or wavy hair. Upload a selfie above to see them on your own face before you grow your hair out.
About 3 to 4 inches (8 to 10 cm) on top, enough for the front to reach your eyebrows. If yours is shorter, ask your barber to leave the top and only trim the sides while it grows.
Yes. A mid or low fade gives a sharper, more modern contrast with the longer top. A taper keeps it softer and more 90s.
Wavy hair is ideal: the waves add texture and help the fringe fall open. Very curly hair works too, with the curls left longer on top so they fall to each side.
Blow-dry the roots up and forward before splitting the part, and use a matte paste or texture spray instead of a heavy gel.
