40 Celebrity Bangs for Inspiration - Fringe Benefits
When it comes to fringes there's almost always a fringe to suit every face shape. Be it heart, square or even the dreaded round face-fringe-combo, with our edit of the best celeb bangs, you'll find your perfect fringe style in no time. Trust.
'Pretty much everyone suits a fringe, it’s all about where the fringe ends,' says pro hairstylist Zoe Irwin. 'Whether it’s a long fringe that accentuates the cheek bones or brow skimming, the most important thing is working it to fit the face shape and the jaw line.'
So how can you update the classic fringe for 2021? 'Super cropped, chopped fringes are a big thing for 2021,' says Irwin. 'Fringes work really well with super long hair and also French girl bobs. Fringes should be worn either half way through the forehead, resting on the brow, or with a 1960s vibe where the centre is shorter and the sides are two or three centimetres longer.'
