What is a Fuckboy?
First, the name: "fuckboy" is the nickname that took hold in Israeli slang for a cut the rest of the world knows as Curtains or a Middle Part — and at the barbershop you'll also hear "curtains cut" or simply "middle part." Behind the viral nickname is a real, well-defined haircut: a long top section, usually 8 to 15 centimeters, split down a middle part and falling to either side like a curtain, over low, quiet sides done with a taper or a soft fade. What separates it from just "grown-out hair" is the structure — a front frame cut on an angle around the face, internal layers that take weight out from underneath, and ends shaped so the curtain closes inward instead of flying out.
The curtains cut itself is far older than the trend: in the '90s it was the dream haircut of every movie and pop star, disappeared for two decades, and came back through the eBoy culture of the late 2010s — until TikTok turned it into the most sought-after youth haircut in Israel too. The difference between the version back then and the one today is how the sides are handled: it all used to be one heavy, uniform length, and now the long top floats over a clean graduation, and that contrast is exactly what makes the look modern. And why did it catch on so hard here in particular? Because it sits perfectly on Mediterranean hair: the natural wave most young guys here have is the exact raw material the style demands — what other places chase with a curling iron, you get for free.
Building a proper curtains cut is mostly internal work: the barber thins and layers the top section from underneath so the hair falls to the sides in a natural motion instead of puffing outward. The middle part itself is a muscle that gets trained — in the first few weeks the hair still "remembers" the old direction, and with directed blow-drying it learns to split on its own. Wavy hair is the perfect raw material here: the natural wave creates that curtain movement with zero effort, but dead-straight hair gets there too, with the right layers and a little product. And one point people don't talk about enough: the curtains cut is a style of fine proportions, and it changes dramatically with every centimeter — so it matters that your barber understands where you're heading over the long run, and doesn't just trim "a little off the length" every visit.
Who does the Fuckboy suit?
This is, hands down, the youth-and-young-guys haircut of the last few years — but it's far from limited by age: anyone who wants a soft frame around the face and hair with presence and movement will find a home in it. The curtains cut especially flatters long and oval faces — the side curtain softens angles and frames the eyes — and guys with wavy hair, for whom the style almost sorts itself out. Straight hair needs a little help from texture products, and curly hair gets its own fuller, more voluminous version. And then there's the third, quieter crowd: men in the middle of growing their hair out. The curtains cut is the best in-between station there is between a short cut and long hair — it turns that frustrating awkward phase into an intentional, put-together look. And what about guys bound by appearance rules, in the army or at work? There's a middle-ground solution: a short curtains cut whose fringe falls to the sides only to mid-forehead — the style is visible, the comments aren't, and on a formal day you can just comb it all back.
Fuckboy variations worth knowing
Classic Curtains
The version faithful to the '90s: a relatively uniform length that falls from both sides of the part and reaches the brow line or just below it, with the sides only lightly tidied. A soft, nostalgic look that works beautifully on wavy hair — and mostly demands patience during the grow-out.
Fuckboy with a Taper
The dominant version today: the long curtain up top stays the star, but the nape and sideburns are cleaned up with a precise taper that sharpens the whole silhouette. The clean edges let the top length read as intentional and well-kept — not like hair that simply grew out. This is the formula we recommend to most people who walk in with a photo from TikTok.
Curly Fuckboy
When the middle part meets curls, the curtain turns into an arc of living volume on either side of the face. The secret is a cut that respects the curl's spring — long layers, no aggressive thinning — and a moisture routine that defines the coils. The result is soft, full and insanely photogenic.
eBoy
The internet's heavier sibling: the same middle part, but with more weight and a uniform length that comes down over the forehead and the ears, almost like a softened bowl cut. A distinctly generational look tied to gaming and internet culture — it needs healthy, dense hair, and it brings back a presence you can't ignore.
Long Middle Part
The stage that comes next: once the curtain passes the jawline, the curtains cut officially becomes long hair with a middle part — a look that demands more patience and more upkeep, and brings back leading-man presence. Anyone aiming there will pass through every stage of the curtains cut anyway — and that's exactly the beauty of it: each station along the way is a complete haircut in its own right.

How to keep it sharp between cuts
Unlike fades, which live and die on frequent refreshes, the curtains cut is actually measured by how you handle the length: a maintenance cut every 4–6 weeks preserves the layers that drive the curtain, and without it the hair loses movement and turns into a helmet. The sides, if they're tapered, get refreshed on their own schedule — roughly every 3–4 weeks, and that's a quick visit. The home routine is the heart of it all: after washing, dry the hair split into the two sides — a brush or your fingers, a low-heat blow-dry if you want to speed up training the part — and add a sea-salt spray or a light styling cream for texture. Hair at this length also benefits from a regular conditioner; a dry, brittle curtain just doesn't move the way it should. And to the question everyone asks: yes, you can wear a hat — just redistribute the hair when you take it off, and the curtain recovers within minutes.
The curtain has two enemies, and it's worth knowing them by name: oil and breakage. Long hair pressed against the face collects oil fast, and a proper wash every day or two keeps the light movement the style is built on. Breakage comes from friction — an aggressive towel, a tight tie — so switch to gentle pats after a shower, and if the hair is already long, skip the tight elastic. Sounds like pampering? That's what upkeep looks like for hair that does the work for you.
The Fuckboy in Ramat Gan
If you got here through TikTok — you're exactly the crowd that's in our chair every week. At Handi's Barbershop at 7 Rashi St, Ramat Gan, we run dozens of curtains cuts through here every month, and we've learned to spot fast what will work on whom: we'll look together at your hair type, your hairline and your current length, and build a plan — including in-between stages if the hair is still short. Come with a photo, leave with a path. You book on Calmark, and the consultation is already part of the session. And most important — here you'll hear the truth: if your hair or your hairline won't work with a middle part, we'll find a version together that will.
Fuckboy — questions & answers
Why is it even called a fuckboy haircut?
It's an Israeli slang nickname born on social media and cemented by TikTok — it has nothing to do with the character of whoever wears it. The professional names are the curtains cut (Curtains) or middle part (Middle Part), and any barber will understand you by any of those names. The main thing is to bring a photo of what you want.
How much hair length do you need for a fuckboy?
For a curtain that genuinely falls to the sides you need at least 8 centimeters on top, and the fuller versions sit around 10–15. If your hair isn't there yet, don't give up — we'll build you an in-between cut that looks good today and grows in exactly the right direction, with the sides kept low so the proportion is right from the in-between stage on.
My hair is dead straight — will the curtains cut work on me?
Yes, with two adjustments: internal layers in the cut that create movement instead of letting the hair fall flat, and a texture product — a salt spray or a light cream — to give the curtain body. The truth? A curtains cut on straight hair looks especially polished and elegant; it's just a different style from the wavy version.
How do you get the middle part to stay in place?
You train it: after every wash, split the hair to the two sides and dry it that way — with your fingers, a brush or a low-heat blow-dryer. For the first week or two the hair will insist on going back to the old direction; after that the roots get used to it and the part settles on its own. A little product helps hold the ends in place through the day.
How much does a fuckboy haircut cost?
The price is the same as any men's haircut here — it's set by the service and shown clearly when you book on Calmark, including how long it takes. You can also take a peek first at the price list on the site and arrive with no question marks.
What's the difference between a fuckboy and a mullet?
Both are trendy length styles, but they're opposites geographically: in the curtains cut the length lives up top and falls to the sides around the face, with the nape kept short; in the mullet the length escapes back toward the nape, and the front is short. Torn? Ask yourself whether you want a frame for your face (curtains) or a free tail in back — and our mullet guide has the full comparison waiting.
