Look, I know what you’re thinking – in a year full of uncertainty, why oh why would I get a fringe? We get it, it’s a notoriously risky move – it’s also one of autumn’s biggest hair trends (we’re thanking Marianne from Normal People). So, without further ado, we’ve lined up a fresh batch of inspiration. Give in to temptation, book the darn fringe.
Contrary to popular opinion, anyone can wear a fringe (and look great doing it), it’s just about finding the right style. A blunt-cut, all-one-length fringe can look a little harsh while keeping a little more length around the sides is softer.
A longer fringe means more styling possibilities too – sweeping it to the side is always a good option. Then there’s baby bangs (otherwise known as the micro-fringe). They have that edgy feel, especially when they’re choppy or wonky.
The most wearable style? We’d say a layered curtain fringe is your best best. It suits pretty much everyone and is *very 2020* (in this case, that’s a good thing). It’s good to air on the side of caution when getting a fringe cut. You can always go shorter, remember. For curly hair, ask your stylist to cut your fringe dry. That way you’ll avoid any surprises brought on by shrinkage.
