Hair Advice: What to Consider Before Getting a Fringe Cut
Before diving into the world of fringe cuts, there are a few crucial considerations to ponder. While bangs can indeed add flair to your hairstyle, they also demand attention and maintenance. Here's what to mull over before committing:
● Forehead Concerns: Deliberate on where your fringe should begin on your forehead, particularly if you have limited space between your brows and hairline. A strategic placement can elongate a small forehead or adjust proportions for a balanced look.
● Face Shape Analysis: Different face shapes call for specific fringe styles. Whether your face is long and narrow, round, square, or heart-shaped, there's a fringe to complement your features. Understanding this correlation is pivotal in achieving a flattering outcome.
● Curly Hair Compatibility: Contrary to popular belief, even those with curly locks can sport a fringe. Opting for a dry cut ensures a tailored approach that considers the natural texture of your hair, while proper styling techniques maintain its integrity.
● Cowlick Management: Dealing with a stubborn cowlick? Fear not. While you can't eradicate it completely, you can train it to cooperate. From employing mini flatirons to using rollers, there are strategies to tame unruly strands.
● Styling Demands: Assess the styling requirements of your chosen fringe style and consider if you're prepared to invest time and effort in maintenance. From anti-frizz creams to hairdryers, certain tools and products are essential for upkeep.
Face Shape Analysis
For long and narrow faces: Opt for blunt fringes that hit just below the brows to add fullness to your face.
For round or square faces: Be cautious with bangs as they can accentuate width. Request a graphic, curved style that complements your bone structure. Thicker bangs are preferable for maximum impact, avoiding wispy versions.
For heart-shaped faces: You have versatility with most styles. However, for a definitive look, consider layered and feathered styles. Ensure the shortest pieces hit the arch of your eyebrows, while the longest ones reach the outer corner of your eyes.
Face Shape Considerations
The easiest way to know what face shape you have is to pull the hair back. The face shape should fall within one of the following categories: long face, oval face, square face, round face, heart-shaped face, and diamond-shaped face, determined by:
Forehead width
Cheekbone width
Jawline width
Face length
