In the ever-evolving realm of hairstyles, fringes continue to captivate with their versatility, adding a touch of flair to any look. From the chic full French-girl bangs to the edgy micro-fringes, this timeless accessory has proven its staying power. The decision to embrace a fringe, however, is not one to be taken lightly, as a misstep can feel like a long-term commitment. Fear not, for there's a fringe to complement every face shape, and our seasoned PR stylists, are here to share expert insights on choosing the perfect fringe and mastering its styling.

For those with square or round face shapes, we suggest opting for a fringe that contrasts their features. A curved, 70s-style fringe is ideal for square faces, opening up around the cheekbones to soften sharp angles. To enhance round faces, a squarer fringe, whether blunt or softened, works wonders, offering a stylish solution without severity.

Heart-shaped faces, characterized by a wider forehead than chin, benefit from a straight, short fringe. This strategic choice creates balance by minimising the appearance of a broader forehead, harmonising with the chin.

Now, onto the art of styling a fringe. PR recommends a few key drying techniques for achieving that salon-fresh look. Taming cow-licks is crucial; blow-dry all the hair to one side with a paddle brush, then switch directions, keeping the airflow downward. To set the final shape and soften the edges, wrap the hair around a round brush and dry it downwards against the face.

In the unfortunate event of fringe remorse, fear not—We have some tricks to manage an unwanted fringe during the grow-out phase. Styling with a middle part softens the look, resulting in bangs that frame the face rather than a harsh line across the head. Consulting with your stylist can yield solutions, such as removing weight or softening the shape during the growing process. Experimenting with geek-chic clips or sweeping the fringe back with a headband are stylish alternatives as well.

To maintain a fresh and polished fringe, regular trims are essential, typically every 4-6 weeks for most. The good news is that at Paloma Roan, we offer micro fringe trim appointments to ensure you never have to endure unruly bangs. Whether you're a fringe enthusiast or a newcomer to this trend, let us guide you on a journey of personalised styles and maintenance, ensuring your look stays as fresh as your confidence.
