Daisy Edgar-Jones has officially started the process for anyone who has seen her recently… should I get my fringe back?
Daisy has given me hair envy. So what is it that is working so well and what is it that we need to ask our hairstylists for when we visit them and decide if it’s time to embrace the fringe.
Daisy’s fringe is softer then the classic ‘full fringe’. It doesn’t have as much weight to it and it has cool split (which i have always been a fan of) in the middle. This effortless style is popular with a lot of people as it so diverse on face shapes. Heart shaped and square faces benefit here as the texture created on the fringe softens and compliments the face shape. For round faces it draws focus to the cheek bones and chin and creates more of a sculpted look and if you have an oval face shape you suit just about anything . Another benefit of this fringe is the grow out. The shape of it means you can continue splitting it and adding texture as it grows out meaning you won’t need your classic 3 week fringe trim and can in fact fit it in whenever you need it.
What to ask for in the salon: Here at the LOXX we know sometimes its hard to say what you want when you head to the salon. Firstly take a picture of Daisy’s hair with you as her fringe is the perfect reference. The shape is really important here so ask your stylist for a split fringe that is slightly shorter in the middle and then becomes longer towards the sides. For extra texture go slightly wider with the fringe and create longer pieces that skim the eye and cheek bone, this opens up the cheek bones even more and is ultra-flattering on every face shape.
How to style your fringe: Always start with your fringe first whenever you are blowing your hair out as this doesn’t give natural or tricky partings a chance to kick in. Blow dry all of the fringe forwards and use your round brush and blowdryer to move the fringe around in all different directions (this prevents a parting and encourages things to sit well). Take your round brush and gather the fringe in it making sure you are now going back away from and off of the face (this is a great time to put a roller in if you need to do your make up or while you blowdry the rest of your hair). Once you have done this step a few times and the hair is dry remove the brush and let the fringe fall back forwards, this time split the fringe with your comb and brush it into place and admire the results.
