Saying that a trend is retro is a bit forced because nothing is out of date if there are followers. It doesn’t matter whether it’s hair, clothes, makeup or accessories. Fashion in any field is an unstable, temporary, and cyclical phenomenon.
We don’t forget the trends; rather, we wait for them to come back. Like the bardot fringe, which always enhances the face by making it ten years younger.
Why wear it? Does it suit all faces?

Why are bardot bangs coming back as a 2025 trend?
Although trends decline for a while, they always come back on the scene with a bang. Like the famous iconic Bardot fringe, which has never gone away and which awaits its moment of glory with the arrival of the summer season.
Social networks did not exist in the 1960s of the last century, but that did not stop our mothers and grandmothers from adopting the looks of their idols, actresses, and singers. The curtain bangs cut is a key element of long hair that cannot be displeased. Floating freely or “tamed” into a bun, hair seems very sensual if it is topped with BB bangs (Brigitte Bardot).
What do the BB-inspired bangs symbolize?
A whole era: free hair and body expression, natural femininity combining innocence and seduction, without excess and embarrassment.
Nowadays, when natural beauty is trying to survive, one can adopt an inspiring and precious look without any reservations.
What are curtain bangs?
What the Brigitte Bardot fringe instills is a very glamorous style that introduces itself not necessarily as an intruder but with a light elegance, for the pleasure of the public and of those who have adopted it.
Long or mid-length hair is slightly wavy and divided into two equal parts by a part right in the middle of the head. In this way, they fall gracefully and deliberately on both temples along the face, laying obediently on the chest. A shorter part comes off covering the forehead and a few fine strands caress the cheeks. It is precisely this cute appearance that seduces.
Apart from the hair falling freely, you can adopt the tousled bun hairstyle effortlessly.
The great advantage of BB hair is that it is adaptable to all ages. It’s not hard to say why! It is practical (done carelessly in a hurry), does not require frequent visits to the hairdresser, is universal (worn every day or to gala evenings), erases years, and hides wrinkles and imperfections.
Do BB bangs suit any face shape?
We have already said that age should not be a constraint for sporting Brigitte Bardot bangs. So, we ask ourselves the question, “Is this the ideal hairstyle for all textures and all faces?” Indeed, no! Straight, thinning hair is not the right example to revisit BB bangs. What about face shape?
The square face that a fringe of this type contours will become softer, especially if you opt for the long version.
You find your face too round. Well, the short, tapered version will elongate it.
Your forehead is too big, but on the other hand, it is ideal for “dressing up” with curtain bangs.
Finally, if the oval face can adopt all versions of the BB fringe model, we can conclude that this timeless hairstyle “fits” all figures.
What hair texture can enjoy Brigitte Bardot bangs?
A few more comments on hair texture. It must be amplified with a few simple but effective gestures, if it is fine.
If, on the contrary, you have curly and unmanageable, mid-length hair, curtain bangs are not for you. To avoid depriving yourself of this glamorous asset, lengthen your hair. This is when you can wear it without the helmet effect.
The low maintenance and the different versions of this timeless, inspiring hairstyle (long, short, tapered, bun) ensure it has made a resounding comeback.
