If You Have Thick, Wavy Hair Like Me, This Is the Fringe Haircut for You
Fringe hairstyles are so on trend right now. I'm seeing so many variations of the haircut on my Instagram and TikTok feeds, not to mention the fact that fringes are dominating this year's runways and red carpets. That being said, as someone with relatively thick, naturally wavy hair, I've often avoided the hairstyle. You see when I was around 12 years old, I decided I wanted to give a block fringe a go and asked my mum to cut my hair over the kitchen sink. I'm sure you can already tell where this story is going, but let's just say that the blunt, "statement" style didn't quite work with my wavy hair type, and I found myself having to straighten my hair every single day to get my desired look.
As I've gotten older, I've learnt to embrace my natural texture, but I've still been hesitant to give a fringe a go. However, after admiring lots of fringe hairstyles on social media, I've started to notice more and more people opting for textured fringe haircuts, rather than the straight, block styles that I was used to seeing when growing up. A textured fringe can work for so many different hair types, and there are lots of ways to wear this trend to make it suit you. I love the effortless, "I just woke up like this" finish that this style gives, and after writing this article, I think I'm finally ready to call my hairdresser and give the fringe another chance.
As you'll see below, the style is often characterised by subtle layers that blend beautifully into the rest of the hair, and it's all about embracing that natural movement. Keep on scrolling to see some of my favourite inspo pictures that I'll be taking to my next appointment.
