Fringes have been in style since time immemorial(a bit of an exaggeration I know but I do like the sound of it).The fad travels a sine wave and fortunately for most of us it’s back on the scene.Why fortunately you may ask? Well fringes are the perfect way of experimenting with your hair style without meddling with your hair length.Though the key to getting gorgeous bangs lies in your face cut.And if I have lost you in the translation, here I have the whole thing sorted out.
The Face: Square
Wide forehead and prominent jaw line.
The Fringe: Curtain
A long fringe style that can be centre parted to swish down each side of your face. Heavy side swept bangs will add softness to a defined facial structure.
Anne Hathaway, Kim Cattrall, Mandy MooreThe Face: Round
Full Face with chubby cheeks and rounded chin.
The Fringe: Angular
Angular bangs with gentle layers will work miracles to minimize the fullness of a round face, and highlight your eyes.Avoid the blunt fringe like plague since it will add to the fullness of the face.
Kirsten Dunst, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Hudson, The Face: Oval
A face to die for with all its even proportions in glory.
The Fringe: Practically Any Kinda Fringe
Oval faces are the most versatile, especially when it comes to fringes. Oval faces are blessed with even length and width so a blunt fringe looks as good as a wispy asymmetrical fringe.
The Face: Heart
Wide cheeks and pointed chin.
The Fringe: Claws
A long fringe, with little claws adds volume to your face.It takes the blunt fringe one step further.Best way to wear the claws is to unevenly part these feathered bangs, so they are lightly scattered across your forehead.
Reese Witherspoon, Katie Holmes, Eva Longoria So which fringe will you sport this summer?
Nice Write up Sonia, I come under the category Round face :)

ReplyDeleteMe too :)
ReplyDeletegreat post! love the amount of detail there is! bangs are so cute, when done right
ReplyDelete@FashionPhD:Yup bangs are a great way to jazz up your hair without.
ReplyDeleteI have a round face and I really want a side fringe will it suit me? xx
ReplyDelete@Anonymous:I have a pretty round face too and the only fringe style that suits me is the side swept one.It hides my wide forehead and gives structure to my face.Try clipping your hair in a side fringe before getting it cut to get a fair idea of how it'll look.
ReplyDeleteLove that you've used the word 'fringe' instead of the awful word 'bangs' which has overtly sexual and negative connotations in some English-speaking countries.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great article promoting the fringe. I stood back and watched girls everywhere lose their fringes in the mid-90s. There were so many girls who didn't suit being fringeless! Made me want to march them down to the hairdressers and shout: GET a finge!!
@AJ: LOL! since I have a wide forehead fringes have proved to be a blessing.And you are absolutely right some girls just don't suit being fringeless.Thanks for dropping by.
