A professional stylist selects a fringe based on individual facial features. For example, elongated fringes suit round faces, while straight fringes work better for those with longer face shapes. A graduated fringe draws attention to the cheekbones, while curtain bangs emphasise natural beauty.
A side-parted fringe looks great on straight hair. An asymmetric fringe visually elongates the face, making it a great choice for girls with fuller cheeks. A rounded fringe frames the forehead and temples in a unique and charming way.
The best fringe for children is a straight, even one. The hairline should reach the eyebrows but not go beyond. Complex designs and unconventional shapes don’t suit young girls.
his year’s trends: curtain bangs and textured fringe
The long curtain bang has become hugely popular in Hollywood. It gently frames the face, adding romance and softness. This style suits almost every woman and is easy to style.
A textured fringe accentuates the eyes, brows and cheekbones, making the face more expressive. It grows out almost unnoticeably and looks great with any hair length.
Fringe haircut for men
A fringe is not exclusively a female detail. In men’s haircuts it is actively used as part of fade, undercut, quiff and crop styles. A longer fringe can be swept back or to the side, while a shorter one emphasises the sharpness of the cut. PIED-DE-POULE stylists will find the right fringe shape based on face shape, hair type and desired style.
Can a fringe be cut on curly hair?
Yes, it can. And straightening it is not necessary — natural curls add uniqueness and charm to the style. The key is to choose the right fringe shape and maintain it properly to highlight your individuality. For this, we recommend turning to stylists who work with curly hair — this way you can not only get a fringe cut but also create a harmonious overall look. A good salon will consider not just facial proportions but also hair structure.
How to style a curly fringe of any length?
The main rule is not to fight your hair’s natural texture. Let the curls dry to about 80%, then gently separate small sections of the fringe. The less you touch the curls, the better they hold their shape. When drying, use a diffuser on a low heat setting, lifting and moving the curls in sections for a textured, voluminous finish.
How to care for your fringe
Wash it more often — The fringe falls onto the face and absorbs sweat, skincare products and foundation, so it gets greasy faster. Specialists recommend refreshing it daily: with regular shampoo, dry shampoo or just water. Use a lightweight shampoo for daily washing to avoid weighing the hair down.
Use quality products — A light mousse or spray works well for styling, adding volume and hold. PIED-DE-POULE specialists are up to date with the latest products and can tell the difference between genuinely quality items and well-marketed ones.
Dry it correctly — Direct the hairdryer downward to avoid frizz. A round brush will help achieve the desired shape. If you’re not happy with the result — simply dampen the fringe and start again.
Trim it regularly — A fringe grows quickly, so update the length every 2–3 weeks to keep it looking neat.
