What fringe will best suit me?

A fringe renaissance may be happening, but don’t rush for the scissors just yet. First, you need to work out which of the trending haircuts works for you.

“Birkin, bottleneck or curtain bangs and micro fringes, as well as various other brow and cheekbone skimming lengths, can be customised to frame the eyes with softly textured and choppy lengths,” explains hairstylist Tom Smith.

He notes that there are a few factors to consider before you choose your fighter. “Consider the size of your forehead, whether you want to show off your eyebrows or cheekbones and ensure you’re willing to tweak them every morning – you’ll need to reset this area of your hair every day, so while it can be done quickly, it does require daily maintenance,” he explains.

Let’s not forget that you’ll probably have to wash your hair or reach for a dry shampoo more often, too, as the style sits right on the T-zone area.

If you’ve got a heart-shaped face like Sabrina Carpenter, a wispy, feathered fringe or curtain bangs work best as they’ll softly shape the face. Smith believes these softer trims are ideal if you’re not a regular at the hairdresser’s. “[They’re] great for those who want low commitments. These softer fringe/bang styles grow out gently and at angles, meaning they don’t require regular trimming,” he says.

This is how you can use your fringe haircut to contour your face, according to a hairstylist
