The Daniel Galvin Advent Calendar - Day 21

DAY 21 - FRINGE BENEFITS...

Fringes are such a stylish enhancement to any hairstyle – whether wispy, choppy, thick or side-swept, they can transform an everyday ‘do into a style statement; freshening up your look and adding that extra pizzazz. Celebrities are always searching for that little bit that will set them apart from the crowd and the fringe is the ultimate accessory. A thick, eye-lid length, blunt fringe can truly set off a red-carpet up-do; whilst a side-swept fringe complements beachy hair and maxi dresses in any papped holiday shots!

Frankie & Angela, a couple of our fabulous stylists give us a few of their hot fringe tips & reckon that Nicole Richie has got it covered...:

Frankie: There are so many different types of fringe and each offers something different to your look. When you’re asking for a fringe, talk to your stylist about which style will suit your face. If you have a square jaw, avoid fringes that go straight across: you need a slightly rounded cut with longer parts at the sides to properly frame the face. If you have a small forehead, you should start your fringe higher up the head which will lengthen your face and give the illusion of it extending into the hairline.

My favourite of the fringes is the side-swept fringe which are very versatile: You can wear your hair down with beach waves to give you a boho, casual look or you can straighten your hair and carefully position the side-swept fringe to give you a much smarter, more manicured look.

Angela: Thick, blunt fringes are my favourite as they make such a dramatic statement; framing the face and bringing out your eyes.

The only trouble with them is they do require some maintenance. The thick fringe is a very specific look & if it gets too long you’ll end up bumping into things! I would recommend a fringe trim every three weeks as with such a stylish statement, it would be a shame to miss the mark.

Remember that every Friday at Daniel Galvin we will trim your fringe for FREE!!
