Wearing a hat with your wig isn’t the only stand-out style that’s been a hit this summer. The fringe has made quite the comeback for 2022, with a legion of celebrities sporting fringes this year.
Fringes are of course no new thing. They’ve long been the go-to style, with their history spanning much further back than many people think as The Telegraph reveals:
“Fringes were popularised in Ancient Egypt on wigs and were often cut into natural hair until, according to The Encyclopaedia of Hair: A Cultural History, 16th century England when the church presided over politics and fashion – cut and curled fringes became controversial and were seen as sinful. It was the 20th century Jazz-age era which made the fringe fashionable again most famously by enigmatic flapper Louise Brooks known for her ‘Dutch Boy’ haircut.”
Made iconic more recently by the likes of Vogue Editor Anna Wintour, Beyoncé, Dua Lipa, Saoirse Ronan and Naomi Campbell, the fringe is one style that you’re either brave enough to try or shy away from. There are many factors, including the following, that make a fringe suitable for some and not so suitable for others.
The shape of your face can dictate whether a fringe is the right choice for you. Thankfully, there are countless fringe styles to explore for face shapes of all types.
Round faces look great with a side fringe, whilst those with square faces rock long, layered bangs with ease. If you have an oval face, try a softer but blunt fringe. Love sweeping fringes? They’re fantastic choices for people with heart-shaped faces.
Your current hairstyle is another factor that could sway your fringe choice. While many people think fringes are a no-no when combined with curly hair, the 2022 curly hair trend that’s seen individuals embrace their naturally tousled locks has turned this common misconception on its head.
Fringes and curly hair look great together, whether the fringe matches the texture of your natural hair or has been blow-dried straight.
Fringes are great for people with fine hair too. In fact, the addition of a fringe can create the illusion of extra volume on the top of the head, adding the substance you need to enhance the rest of your hairstyle.
Some fringe styles work better than others with fine hair. Longer fringes, that haven’t been thinned out, are excellent options for ensuring a fuller look.
