fringe | Beauty and the Brain

Bangs also known as a Fringe to us professionals, are a great way to switch up your look without burning your wallet. There are 3 basic “fringe” designs. Side swept, straight across/ blunt, or one length. Here are some examples….

Side Swept:

A longer side swept fringe looks very soft and blends well with any style. Keeping them longer is great for those with tricky cowlicks or wavy/ curly hair.

hort side swept fringes make a statement without interfering with your vision! This look definitely creates a focal point. I love the definition as well.

Straight across/ Blunt:

This look takes some getting used to. Once you get the hang of it you will fall in love. Blunt bangs are edgy and cool.

I love a full fringe that is longer the outer edges!

Vintage full bang shorter on the outer corners. Great for a confident personality.

One Length: Technically with “no bangs” you can style your fringe area many different ways!

Bangs/Fringes are a fun thing but please LEAVE IT UP TO A PROFESSIONAL.

This is one of my favorite guests Renee! She is always up for a change and loves to be a trendsetter. On her last visit to Matthew Robert Color + Design, we decided we still loved her color and just wanted to spice up her cut. Although Renee is up for a change she isn’t quite ready to say goodbye to her length, so we decided on a blunt fringe.

AFTER

Reasons why you should try a new fringe….

In the colder months there’s significantly less humidity…so less frizz to battle
It gives you an edge and a mini makeover
Great for big foreheads or really narrow ones ; )
It’s completely affordable
