Why You Should Think Twice Before Getting A Fringe

by erin cook

Every year, Monique McMahon, Founder and Colour Director of QUE Colour, sees a surge in popularity for fringes during winter and yes, this year, Edgar-Jones has been one of the main inspirations. “Fringes are the best way to shake up your hair if you don’t want to change your colour or the length of your hair,” McMahon shares. “The full front fringe is timeless but be prepared to blow dry it daily to keep it in check.”

“The micro fringe is super on trend right now, especially for finer hair types and is best suited to those with naturally straight hair. Curtain bangs is the fringe option without the commitment; they suit any face shape and are flattering on almost anyone. You can start the curtain at the eyebrow, cheek or chin.”

Thinking about getting the chop? Here are five things you need to know: 1. Are you handy with a hairdryer? You’re going to need it. A fringe requires daily dedication. 2. Some days it will sit just right. 3. Some days, no matter what you do, it will look shit. That’s just how the cookie crumbles. 4. If you’re not sure about the length you want, take it slow. Go for the longer version of the two and try it on for size – a coward’s fringe, if you will. After a few days, if you are enjoying your fringe moment and want to go shorter, you can always go back to the salon for a trim. 5. It will require regular trims. Do you like your hairdresser? You’re going to be seeing him/her a lot.
