It’s fair to say that there’s no better way to revitalise your look than by chopping and changing your locks. Luckily for you, embracing the addition of a fringe, in one of its many timeless forms, has become known as one of the simplest ways to revamp tired tresses.
If recent red carpet ‘dos are anything to go by, fringes are here to stay — whether in the form of shaggy ’70s eyelash-skimming bangs or wispy curtain cuts. Looking for inspiration? A dramatic side sweep, care of old-school Hollywood heroines, can serve to add structure to a round face, while a face-framing full fringe can add balance to those with a heart shape.
Industry insiders predict the rise of the air-dried fringe as the back-to-basics trend continues to reign supreme, and with so many different interpretations of bangs adorning the faces of some of our favourite stars, there’s sure to be a style to suit everyone.
Easier to execute than a complete sartorial makeover and less fear-inducing that the commitment of a dye job, a fringe can completely change your look in next to no time. Whether you’re looking to add polish, inject a youthful vibe, or embark on a new chapter, scroll on to find inspiration in Alexa Chung’s choppy layers, Keira Knightley’s school girl-esque crop or even Kendall Jenner’s try-before-you-buy temporary iteration.
