FabSwingers.com forum: Fringe...

Probably more for the ladies, sorry chaps... but feel free to add your tuppence worth!

I'm thinking about getting a fringe cut into my hair. I've never had a fringe before but I feel the urge for a bit of a change. What's the worst that can happen? I can't decide if my face is too round for a fringe or not. Good idea/bad idea?

(It's not a first world issue, I'm aware but I need to think of something else for a while.)

Try pinning a section of your hair into the style you are thinking of

Great idea do it! No idea what your face looks like but I'm sure it will be great.

I love my bangs. I used to have traditional bangs that went across my forehead, but a hair stylist told me it covered too much of my face, so now I have side bangs that frame my face.

Why not try that at first so its not such a commitment, then go all out of it looks good?

Why not buy a cheap clip in fringe to try it first? Or just clip in extensions and cut to size?

Yep, the wonders of hair. Get dem bangs to get some bangs

In all seriousness though, all you can do is try it and see if you like the new look. Worst case scenario, you don't like it til it's back

Depending on your face shape will determine what fringe is best for you (apparently). I had a fringe cut in last year, made me look so much younger!

I liked it though and may go back to it. So remember you were asked for ID for cigs, you'll be asked for it for buying a scratchcard now

Most hairdressers do fringe trims free so if you like it you won't have to pay out much and if you don't you won't be getting it cut much anyway. I get trimmed every six weeks though

I agree with bumblebea.

As an alternative post on here....I've on/off had a fringe many times. But I have eventually gotten fed up of it!

It was too heavy, got greasy quickly (yuk I know

)

And I got fed up of it getting in my eyes after a few weeks.

And in the summer it drove me mad as I had a hot head!

Also when I wanted to grow it out...because I had a long bob it seemed to take years to grow out.

If you have shortish hair that's layered it's easier to grow out.

Sorry to be a downer....but I'd think before taking the plunge!

Yes you should go for it, try something a little different.

At the moment I have a U shaped fringe, longer at the middle and it curves up shorter on each side, I really like it

I've found a style I like on Pinterest but it's really hard to figure out if I'll suit it. I've never had a fringe. There's a bit of me that's just thinking fuck it!

ive got a heavy side grunge, so a longer fringe down one side as I have a heavy side parting the other side is blended in. it works well for me as I have naturally curly hair.

if u google hollie willabhoughy she's got a grunge but hers is a mid one.

Can you describe it? How long would it be, eyebrow length, half way down your forehead? Straight across, blunt cut or sort of feathered? Details woman, we need details. Have you got big eyes with longish eyelashes?

"What's the worst that can happen? "

The hairdresser uses a pair of scissors that was cursed. Your fringe becomes haunted with the ghost of Michael Winner. Everywhere you go you feel a sense of unease, dread and terror and hear 'Calm down dear, it's a commercial' every two minutes. It never stops.

I have a round face so fringes are normally advised against but I had a super blunt heavy fringe cut in a couple of years ago and I bloody love it. When it gets too long and sticks under my glasses I get it trimmed and that's it. Without a doubt the easiest and most flattering haircut I have ever had. Embrace the fringe! Plus if you don't like it it'll grow. Might take a while to get as long as the rest of your hair but it'll give you face framing layers in the growing out process so it's win-win.
