There are as many different types of fringe as there are different hairstyles, and there is one out there to suit everyone’s face shape, hair type and lifestyle – the only problem is… Which one will suit me!? So here we have it, the ultimate fringe guide!
…Round steer clear of short blunt fringes, these can emphasise a round face. Instead go for longe fringes in side swept styles, as these can add length and structure to a round face!
…Heart Shaped you can rock much shorter, edgier fringes – why not go wild and go for something short and angled!? But watch our – anything too heavy or long could swamp your face and leave you looking like your hiding behind your hair.
…Oval you are a very very lucky lady – the chances are you’ll be able to pull of any kind of fringe, but look out for anything too heavy on the face, you could end up hiding your gorgeous features behind your hair!
…Long and the length is in your forehead, try a long eyebrow skimming blunt fringe – it’ll make you look so much more feminine! However, if your forehead is small, go for longe layers around the face as a fringe will emphasise the length of your face.
…Square, softer, more wispy fringes will soften your jawline. shorter, side swept fringes look great with shorter cuts, and longer, wispy finges look good on long styles – avoid heavy, blunt fringes, as these can look too sharp.
So now you know what you can pull off, think about your hair care routine before you rush into anything. Are you a lover of styling your hair? Then go for something edgey and dramatic – if you already spend time styling your hair, a higher-maintenence fringe will work for you! Short, straight blunt… Try it out! Do you loathe spending time faffing about in the mirror and would rather get on with things? Try some longer layers around your face or a long side swept fringe that you can comb into place and it’s done.
How to Style your Fringe like a Star!
I think having a good chat with your stylist about different style of fringes and your lifestyle and routine, as theres nothing worse than getting somethign high maintenence when you don’t style your hair – it will never look like it did in the salon! And whilst your stylist can show you how to style your fringe, we know sometimes a little extra help is needed, so here’s a quick aftercare guide for your bangs!
Long Sweepy Fringes
Depending on your hair type, long sweepy fringes can require a lot of work but some people will find their hair just wants to fall to the side. If your not one of those lucky ladies, don’t fret! A week or so of hair training will get your bangs into shape. I bet your probably sat at home thinking ‘Training my hair?! You bunch of crazies!’ but it works! Often, when you start trying to comb your hair somewhere other than where it usually parts, it will start lifting up and trying to go back to where it’s used to – to train your fringe not to do this, simply comb it where you want it to go when it’s soaking wet everytime you wash your hair, and then blowdry it in this direction. If you have a cowlick your hair might resist a little more, but if it does just clip it over to the side you want it to go whilst doing your make-up and give it a little spritz of hairspray and soon you’ll find your fringe will sweep over easily! Girls with a little bit of subtle wave will probably find their’s sweeps over easier, but if your hair is particularly straight, try using a medium-sized round blowdrying brush to help give it that little bend.
Sharp Blunt Fringes
These gorgeous, style-forward bangs can be very easy or slightly harder to style, depending on your hair type, but not to fret, they’re never too hard to get looking gorgeous. Straight hairs girlies will find that brushing them forward and blasting with a hairdryer will often be enough, but sometimes the help of a medium round brush or a pair of straighteners will be required to smooth out wavier and curly hair. Just remember when using straighteners to gently bend the fringe under so that it isn’t too poker straight and harsh! (The fringe that i am having now) :)
Still undecided? Why not check out some of these tress transforming fringes…
Katy Perry
When Katy Perry recently stepped out with her new Bettie Page style fringe, she changed her style from cute and playful to sexy and vamp in one move. Her fringe before was a simple long fringe that she swept to the side, and her new fringe it a much shorted, heavier fringe, great for girls with great cheekbones and tonnes of personality.
Lady Gaga
If you’ve already taken the plunge and gone for blunt bangs, everyone’s favourite Fashionista Lady Gaga here shows that by sweeping your fringe to the side, you can soften up your look and go for a more Hollywood Chic look without getting any more cut off.
Gwen Stefani
Despite constantly exploring her sense of style, Gwen knows how a fringe can completely change your style. In her No Doubt days, Gwen Stefani rarely sported a fringe, often opting for longer feathered layers. However, on the launch of her Great Escape album, the singer cut her platinum locks into a blunt fringe, and showed a more stylish conservative side of fashion. But, despite this sharp, sexy change, Gwen still knows how to show her individuality and often experiments with sexy quiffs.
I love fringes and having it myself... This is my fringe...
