Hairstyle guide - fringes
One of the quickest ways to update your hairstyle is to add a fringe. Somehow they never fall off fashion's radar, with short crops, long curls and sexy updos all complimenting a fringe perfectly.
We caught up with Jamie Stevens (appointments at 020 7235 0110) who told us...
If you have a square shaped face, a long, wispy layered fringe will round your face shape off a little bit. Add a few small layers to the front of your face to soften the edges, giving you a more rounded look.
If you have an oval shaped face, you have the best shaped face there is! Oval faces suit any style of fringe, any length, shape and heaviness. An oval face is very versatile, so you can have fun experimenting with different styles.
A heart shaped face needs a fringe that will soften the long, prominent chin, so you need a blunt, heavier, sharp fringe to make the face appear more in proportion.
Long, pointy shaped faces need a side fringe that is slightly angled to soften the face shape, and putting the hair in a side parting will shorten the length of the face.
If you have a round face, you need a soft, layered fringe that is slightly angled to the side to add a little bit of length to the face. Short fringes also add length to rounded shaped faces. Avoid long fringes as this can emphasis the rounded face and can look too harsh.
So if a fringe is on your to do list then here are some of the latest celebrity styles and salon cuts for inspiration. Print out the page you like and take along with you to your next appointment.
