“It’s a surfer haircut paired with ‘90s curtain bangs,” stylist Andrew Zumbo told Parents , praising the “effortless” and “unstructured” look. “It’s that Hollywood heartthrob hair that we’re seeing right now.”
And the Y2K-era style, noted hairstylist Kylee Heath, has been increasingly popular.
“The surfer-curtains trend is a cut that is generally parted in the center, or slightly off-center, and worn with a beachy texture,” she told PopSugar .
“The cut and style leaves some length in the front that is worn almost like a curtain bang that can be tossed left to right. This look is also great when it is a little tousled with some volume and texture.”
The laid-back look is also relatively easy to achieve — just “spritz a little bit of [sea salt spray] on top of their head, wave it around, and they’re good to go,” Zumbo said.
Styling ease has also been a motivator for teens clamoring to get perms as the “broccoli cut” — the predecessor of “surfer curtains” — takes social media by storm, as those without curly or wavy hair who want the desired volume and shape of a tousled mop shell out hundreds for the treatment.
“Glossy magazines have been eclipsed by influencers who purport to be ‘just like us,’” Dr. Brooke Erin Duffy, a social media researcher at Cornell University, told Parents of the wave of hair trends online.
“[Social media] platforms assure us that fame is easier than ever to achieve—this narrative, after all, ensures a steady stream of content for their platforms.”
