Have you been flirting with the idea of a fringe? A fringe can provide a sophisticated new look and freshen up your current style, but it is a commitment that requires some time and effort to keep looking at its best. Discover whether you should take the plunge, what you need to consider, and how our hair salon in Exeter can help your new style come to life.

What Are The Benefits Of A Fringe?

A fringe can help to accentuate your favourite facial features such as your cheekbones or eyes. It can also help to hide any areas you aren’t so keen on and make your face look slimmer. Our Exeter hairdressers have created flattering fringes for all face shapes, so let them know if there are any particular areas you would like to draw attention to or away from.

Styling your fringe and throwing the rest of your hair back in a simple ponytail creates an effortless look in minutes. This is perfect for when you are running short of time to get ready for work or a night out.

Find Your Perfect Style

Use your face shape to decide which style is right for you. If you aren’t sure whether a fringe will suit you, try a clip-in fringe. This is a great way to test your new style without any commitment. 

• Long and Narrow Faces: Make your face look fuller by choosing a blunt fringe that ends just below your brows.
• Round and Square Faces: A graphic, curved style will flatter your bone structure and avoid making your face appear wider than it is. You want your fringe to be thick and bold as a wispy version won’t have much impact.
• Heart-Shaped Faces: Layered, feathered styles, where the shortest pieces hit the arch of your eyebrows and the longest meet the outer corners of your eyes look stunning on heart-shaped faces. However, this face shape will suit almost any style.

Remember that a fringe can take up to a year to grow out. If you can’t decide what to do and have a big event or wedding coming up, it might be better to wait. We always advise booking for a consultation with us if you are considering a change, it is completely free and will give you confidence about moving forward with your decision to restyle your hair.
