I don’t know if its because we haven’t been physically able to go to a hairdresser since lockdown, but I feel more than ever that I want to do something a bit more drastic than usual when I can finally sit in the hairdressers chair. I had an appointment booked for just before Easter which obviously got cancelled, and while i’m desperate to get my usual free lights re-done, i’m also toying with the idea of having a fringe cut in, or going for a really choppy bob again (I had this last time but it has completely grown out!)
I’ve spent all of my life until I was about 10 with a fringe, which I then grew out when I went to senior school and have dabbled with it a few times since, most usually growing it straight out again, which is such a looooong process. But I think I’ve been inspired by Daisy Edgar Jones when watching Normal People and I quite like the idea of having one again.
My hair isn’t naturally straight, more of a frizz curl that I tame with my trusty hairdryer and GHDs but I find with a fringe it takes a few minutes to tame it and then you’re good to go, although humidity and rain are definitely my hair nemesis. I think fringes look so nice when hair is up in a ponytail too, as it helps to frame the face. The bonus of a fringe is that it will hide when I’ve been slack with my brow upkeep too!
I’m still undecided what i’ll do in a few weeks time when hairdressers and beauty salons will (hopefully) be able to open their doors again, but in the meantime I keep adding images to my Pinterest board for inspiration. Here’s a few I’m pinning right now:
