Daisy Edgar-Jones' Wispy Curtain Bangs Are Our Ultimate Summer '24 Hair Inspiration
She might be best known for her face-framing curtain bangs (or Marianne bangs, if you will), natural waves and deep chocolate brunette hair, but actor Daisy Edgar-Jones isn't opposed to the occasional hair transformation.
This time last year, the Normal People actor departed from her warm chestnut hair, gracing the 2023 Met Gala with a new mid-length crop, before appearing at the Gucci Ancora SS24 show during Milan Fashion Week with a bright blonde up 'do.

More recently, during her Twisters press tour the actor has been switching up her lengths, alongside a string of winning sartorial statements, in the form of easy up 'dos; sleek, high-shine high ponytails; glamorous curls and extra-long layers.
But her signature bangs always prevail in some form or another. 'Daisy’s soft, subtle curtain bangs are effortless. Neither short nor blunt or sweeping and long, it’s one of the rare fringes that suits everyone,' explains Cos Sakkas, Toni & Guy's Global Creative Director.
Joining the likes of Zendaya and Julia Roberts, Edgar-Jones also added a golden tint to her now caramel-toned hair and swapped her wispy bangs for a fuller-looking fringe. The eye-skimming fringe doesn't veer too far from her signature bangs but feels more modern and fresh.
According to Sakkas, this fringe is the perfect summer upgrade while the caramel-toned highlights help really frame the face. 'Expertly placed highlights around the perimeter of your face illuminate your natural features,' he says. 'It helps to bring out your best facial features and brighten up the whole look.'
Thinking of following suit? 'A soft fringe and curtain bangs can show off the jawline and enhance the eyes, and work well with longer layers such as Daisy's. It really is the perfect upgrade for everyone, whatever your face shape or hair texture,' he adds. 'The key to Daisy’s hair is that it doesn’t overpower her but complements her features for the ultimate effortless cool-girl look,' shares Sakkas. 'The gentle movement and soft fringe are easy to wear and bang on trend.'
As for how to create Daisy's effortless texture? 'To achieve the textured style, it’s all about the prep. Use a sea salt spray such as LABEL.M Fashion Edition Sea Salt Spray to create loose, textured waves with a matte finish for a totally modern look,’ he adds.
