Q: How can I grow out my fringe with the least amount of pain and frustration?
A: Use it as an excuse to get creative with your hair, says session stylist Kevin Murphy. ‘A long fringe is the perfect opportunity to experiment with side partings, feminine quaffs, twists, plaits and all the amazing hair accessories that are around right now.’
To make it more bearable, ask your hairdresser to blend your fringe in to the rest of your hair, says George Northwood. ‘This normally involves lightly thinning out the ends and pushing it to the sides. The fringe acts more like layers then, and is easier to incorporate in to your usual style.’
For fringes that still aren’t past your brows, try an instant fringe-shortening effect by rolling the fringe under with tongs or a round brush. It’s only temporary but at least it keeps it out of your eyes for a day or two.
