Hello,
My question is this, I currently have a blunt fringe cut straight across and my face shape is oval with high cheekbones (my hair is long). I now want to grow my fringe out slightly so it’s more grown-up and I now want it like Alexa Chung's.
Now I know I have to grow my fringe out, it is currently just above my eyes – I can feel it on my lashes – but do I grow it all fully out and then go get it shaped or can I trim the middle bit myself whilst the sides grow longer?
I hope you can help as growing a fringe to a different style can be a nightmare and I don’t want to look dowdy!
Thank you so much, Lisa, Gloucester
Hi Lisa,
The answer is to put soft layers through the fringe to break up the bulk, which will then create a versatile fringe that you can wear differently as you’re growing it, from an Alexa Chung to a side-swept fringe.
Good salons will usually do complimentary fringe trims for their clients, so if you have a stylist, ask them to do it for you - home-cut fringes are notoriously tricky!
