The fringe is great… the first few months. It frames the face, highlights the eyes and cheekbones, and sometimes helps blur some small imperfections. But when, tired of the touch-ups that have to be done every month at the hairdresser (or alone in the bathroom for the more adventurous), or when seeing our reflection surmounted by a fringe every day in the mirror begins to tire us... There is only one choice: let it grow.
But as long as the length of these rebellious locks does not reach us below the cheekbones, it is not easy to hide them and even less to assume them. But do not panic ! There are several parades to help you pass the time and come to terms with that fringe, which seems to be living its own life above your eyes.
The curtain fringe
That's good, this summer 2021 the curtain fringe is ultra-trendy! Its name comes simply from its shape: the hair is pushed to the left and right to provide an unobstructed view, as with a curtain. Longer than a classic fringe, it allows you to go gently and start to blend the fringe into the rest of your hair.
How do I do it? Just part your hair in the middle with your fingers. It doesn't matter if your parting isn't straight: it's precisely the relaxed and messy side that brings this look to life. If your bangs don't hold up on their own on the sides, you can dry them with a round brush. A coat of lacquer and you are sure that it will stay in place.
Braided bangs
When your bangs are long enough, they can turn into a small African braid, glued to the front of the forehead like a crown. It can even split into two African braids that go backwards.
How to: Just take the bangs from one side of the head and start an African braid above the forehead. The latter will take all the bangs and some of your longer hair to make it hold well. But also: Is the variant with the two small African braids ideal for fine hair! Make two small African braids face to face, above your eyes and at the location of your hair. You run them up to 2/3 of your skull. You can finish this hairstyle with a messy bun, or with two well-defined buns above the nape of the neck. Do not hesitate to hold these hairstyles with a texturizing or fixing product.
The fuzzy half-bun
The half-bun or half-bun is the perfect compromise between hair up and down. The bun is only formed from the top locks. Just lift your bangs on top of your head and tie it up with a few lengths.
How To: Loosely tie up your front hair, including your bangs, and twist it into a fuzzy knot. Secure this half bun with an elastic band or clips on the top of the head. You can leave the rest of the hair down. Do not worry if one or two strands of hair escape from your hairstyle, it is even the desired effect.
