View Full Version : Got a fringe cut, best decision ever!

I'd been pondering getting a sideswept fringe for ages. I have to wear my hair up a lot for work placements, and kept thinking how "harsh" I looked with my hair pulled back off my face, like an old schoolmarm! Yesterday I just went for it. I'm so glad I did!

Not looking forward to having to wash it more often than the rest of my hair (I get greasy roots), but it's worth it for the softer, face framing look it provides :) Plus, it hides a scar on my forehead.

pics!

Oh, that is SO cute! You are right about the soft look, very nice. BTW, you can wash just the fringe in between shampoos.

Very nice! It always amazes me what a difference a little fringe can make--a whole new look for such little change!

That looks so good on you! Since I grew out my fringe I've also missed the softness it brings to updos, it can make quite a difference.

I really love your colour by the way.

Oooh I love it! I miss my side swept fringe... I used to wash it every day and did not mind it at all, but I was told that WL hair is too long to look good with a fringe?
Still not sure why I let it grow. :shrug:

When I saw the pics with no fringe, I thought you looked great and didn't see what you were saying about looking "schoolmarm-ish". But once I scrolled down to the fringe pics, I can see what you mean. They do give a nice soft, young look. Looks lovely :).

You look fabulous with bangs. Great decision. It looks softer and more playful.
A fringe makes hair more versatile. Plus you are going to LOVE just washing the fringe in between washes.
I love hanging bangs.

I love them too! They frame your eyes beautifully. Sometimes it's nice to mix things up and suddenly you love your hair all over again :blossom:

The fringe really does soften your look and brings out your eyes.

Faellen, did you cut your fringe yourself or have it done by someone else.

I'm getting a bit tempted. The problem is my hair is so fine and thin I hate to take any hair away from the pony, bun, braid, etc.

Talk about school marmish, I'm almost 60 with glasses!

Anyway, if you cut your own, how did you do it?

It looks great! Don't worry about the greasies, it takes 30 seconds to 1 minute to wash them under the faucet. And if you fluff them with your fingers after towel drying them, they dry super fast.

Looks beautiful!! I think you'd look great with thick blunt bangs, too ;) LOOOOOVE the hair color!!! So amazing!

They suit you so well! Always makes me envious when someone gets a fringe, and it looks as good on them as yours does, I'd love a fringe for the same reasons as you, but it makes my face look so dumpy! :(

I didn't cut it myself, I got a hairdresser to do it, though I could probably maintain it on my own. :)
