How to rock a fringe

As you all know, I’ve been wearing a fringe for a while now. It took some time to get used to, but I can’t imagine being without it now. Only I started wobbling a bit this winter. The unstable weather makes a fringe go all over the place, it does’t look terribly charming under a beanie (sorry dear colleagues, but YES I do wear a beanie from time to time in winter), plus I get a little nervous at the hairdresser in case they cut it too short. Anyway. When I saw the hair trends for this winter I noticed many variations of the fringe, so I felt better about my own. Here they all are.

Sleek bangs, my favourite. The fringe is worn full, so make sure that it is cut well and that you don’t end up with a few limp locks hanging over your forehead, and wear it long, over the eyebrow. It’s a natural fall, so should look like nothing has been done, but don’t forget to blow-dry it all in one direction. And if it gets too long? Wear it a la Moss, to the side. Just as easy.

We don’t know Saskia de Brauw any other way, but the short fringe is also trending at the moment. I mean it’s no coincidence that Beyoncé reached for a pair of scissors. Wear your hair in a high ponytail, use wax and clips to secure it forward. A little trick to try the fringe out first, before committing.

Following on the previous trend, a fringe that does not always need to be perfect. Can be worn all over the place, messy and far from perfect. It looks like the kitchen scissors have been used but it’s anything but. Actually precision and form are very important here and it’s all about the correct variations in length.

No fringe? No problemo. You can fake one. With your ponytail, as I explained before, or by creating a lock. Wear your hair to the side and drape it neatly behind one ear. A little Gucci-ish. The benefit? No scissor needed.
