I'm referring to this:

picture of a woman with long hair

At first, I thought they could be called bangs.

But according to Google it's only the head above the forehead:

a fringe of hair cut straight across the forehead.

So what's the correct way of calling this part of the hair?

If there isn't a specific term, what would be the most natural way to call them?

For example, to be used in a sentence like this:

Her __ curved inward, cradling her cheeks.
