From Subtle Bangs To Choppy Cuts – Here Are The Coolest Ways To Wear Fringes
Whether you’re looking for just a little bit of something or you’re craving a full-on transformation, the list has ‘em all.
Easy Breezy
Yes, if you don’t incline towards full-blown fringy haircuts, then these barely-there bangs are the ones to call on. They are so damn cute and this cut flatters almost all face shapes and styles. If in doubt, sweep your fringe to the side for instant French-girl appeal.
Full Fringes For Trendsetters
Here’s a classic fringe style for a bold, timeless look. From ultra-short to long, the fringe style looks good on all hair lengths. We’re totally loving this full, but slightly choppy fringe and is perf to instantly elevate your style. Go for straight strands when donning this fringe style for a major celeb-esque vibe.
Shag: For An Effortlessly Cool Vibe
A slightly grown-out fringe looks so relaxed when paired with a longer hair length. If you’ve just had a fringe cut in then you can simply push your strands to each side for a more laid-back feel. Even though we’ve seen the resurgence of the shag time and again, the 2021 version reads softer and not as disconnected as it was back in the ‘80s.
The ‘90s-Inspired
Another highly requested trend? Yes? The most immediate trend we’ve spotlighted is the curtain bang. The ‘90s curtain bangs are here to stay. They are a modern take on the classic fringe and we’re her for it. Curtain bangs require a little maintenance to look their best and are having a major moment right now. The best bits? It suits almost all hair textures and face shapes.
Mini Fringes To Make A Statement
A brave, alternative way to wear the fringe that requires the most commitment. Show it off with a volumized ponytail or a pixie haircut for a statement-making look. Sleek, sharp and shiny, the mini fringe pairs perfectly well with a retro bob.
Side Fringes For Major Cool-Girl Vibe
The light side-swept fringe is perf if you are a newbie in the fringe world. It looks sleek and polished and is the safest way to hop on the bandwagon. From Neha Sharma to Disha Patani, we’ve seen a number of B-Town divas sporting this hairdo. It’s best if you want to switch up your hair game without going for a drastic change.
