Full Fringe, French Bangs and Curtain Fringe.
Full fringe: It is the classic. The best known. The usual thick and straight fringe that is at the same height as the eyebrows. We can see this fringe style on Aitana or Dakota Johnson, perfect for straight hair!
French Bangs: This is an open, frayed fringe that falls above the eyebrows. This style adapts to any type of hair: straight or curly, fine or thick. This last year it is being worn by actress Ana de Armas.
Curtain Fringe. Undoubtedly the one that has swept these last months. Its shape is an inverted V. It is open. That is, split in half. It starts at a height below the eyes and blends in with the rest of the hair. This past year it has been seen on well-known faces such as María Pombo and Jennifer López.
Is it for everyone? No! It’s all very well to keep up with trends. But not everyone’s hair looks the same. If we have extra curly hair, or hair with little density or a very small forehead; it’s best to avoid them.
How do you know which one to choose?
Make the most of your face shape and choose a fringe that highlights your features.
For rounder faces it is best to leave the bangs long, leaving the forehead uncovered, and thus lengthen the features.
On the other hand, for elongated faces it is better to opt for a thick, straight fringe above the eyebrows. This way, we manage to break the verticality of the face.
For more angular or square faces, we will want to soften those angles. How? By avoiding very pronounced and straight bangs. A layered fringe that gives movement is much better.
