It’s a simple fact that not everyone can pull off bangs; however, curtain bangs in 2021 are a bit of a different story. While not as dramatic as blunt bangs, or as dated as side bangs, the curtain variety has a certain effortless appeal that looks good on long hair or short. Each of these celebs knows how to rock the face-framing look, and you might just find yourself wondering if you should get bangs after seeing these gorgeous styles.
