Fringe Hairstyles Celebrity Style!

Bangs have been hot for a while and are now starting to pick up speed! Last spring these trend defining fringe hairstyles were just hitting the scene. Now, we are seeing the hairstyle trend lean towards the straight, eye skimming fringe hairstyles.

If you’re looking for a quick and easy hairstyle change . . . consider these new celebrity hair styles making the news!

Lea Michele - a 'chipped in' fringe hairstyle

Love this fringe hairstyle on Lea Michele, the sleek style of it suits her well, don’t you think? Lea’s face shape is a longer oval with some rectangular features and the full fringe shortens the overall look of length to her face. It’s ‘eye catching’ and just a cute look on her!

I also like the amount of ‘chipping’ her hairdresser did on the ends of the fringe. Chipping is a way of softening the edges of the fringe, it gives an uneven edge to an even cut. The hairdresser ‘chips in’ to the ends, cutting out random pieces with the tip of the shears.

Her hair was straightened with a flat iron after blow drying it smooth. He also used a frizz free cream, over the finished hair to smooth and give more shine.

Heidi Klum - a face framing fringe hairstyle

This long hairstyle with bangs works great on Heidi’s square face shape by elongating, softening and framing her face shape. You might argue that she doesn’t have a square face shape, but maybe a round face shape or an oval/square face shape. It’s common that some face shapes can look different from different angles, or when smiling or not smiling. Heidi’s face shape is one of those face shapes that looks different from different angles. None-the-less this is a great look on Heidi and would flatter any face shape as well!

These straight styles are a fun way to change things up when you are bored with your same old same old. And you don’t even need to worry if you fight cowlicks or wavy/curly bangs, a flat iron will take care of it . . . no worries.

Bangs or No Bangs . . . Here are Your Options!

Michelle asks:

Long Hairstyles with Bangs

Michelle, the dilemma of whether to have bangs or no bangs is prevalent, so don’t worry yourself about it, you’re not alone! Now there are a number of sites where you can try on hairstyles before cutting it off. Some charge for the service and some are free! Hairstyle Blog has done a review of these sites in this article; Face in Hole Hairstyles Site Reviews.

Here is how Jennifer Daulton, hairdresser of Daulton Studios, weighed in on the issue of “bangs or no bangs!”

Start with Wispy Bangs ~~ You don’t need to cut a lot of hair off to get a new look. I suggest starting slow by cutting in light, wispy bangs. It’s easy to blend light, wispy bangs into a long hairstyle if you don’t like the look and you can always cut in heavier bangs later.

Long Hairstyles with Straight Bangs

Long hairstyles with straight bangs are trendy but these blunt bangs aren’t for everyone. Straight bangs can look abrupt on some face shapes without at least some face framing layers. Even the straight hairstyle with bangs above has slight layers that contribute softness and a slight frame to the face.

If you have a long oval face shape or a rectangular face shape and want to wear straight bangs, layering around the face will alleviate a severe look. Long hairstyles on long face shapes need face framing layers to soften and shorten the look of the face.

Long Hairstyles with Long Swept Bangs

Long hairstyles with side swept bangs suit all face shapes. Cutting in a long swept bang is less of a commitment than cutting in straight bangs. Side swept bangs are longer and in a short time they will grow out to blend in as face framing layers.

Long Hairstyles with Asymmetrical Bangs

The asymmetrical bang is a favorite of mine for an artsy look! This look works well for all face shapes and especially draws attention to the eyes. Like all hairstyles with bangs, it’s important to be vigilant on keeping your bangs trimmed regularly.

Hairstyles for Round Faces Need Not be Difficult

Choosing a hairstyle for a round face is easy if you just follow a few secrets. If you have a perfectly symmetrical face shape, you have a round face shape. Usually, people with round faces have a wide hairline with fuller cheeks, making the neck look shorter. The right hairdo can add to your personality in magical ways and it is imperative to style it according to your face shape. No need to fret, with a correct approach and the right hair styling tools, you’ll definitely get a great look. You’ll be perfect if you keep two things in mind: one, your hair should make your face look slimmer and elongated. Two, it should draw away the focal point of your face from your cheeks’ fullness.

The list for styling tools starts with the scissors and hair brush or combs. You need smother hairstyles. The best hairstyle for round faces are those that are longer than your face. However, short hair with a swept back style can also be flattering. Use your hair brush or comb to sweep a large amount of your hair to one side. Side swept bangs makes your face look narrower and can have a flattering look.

When considering what style works best for a round face you should try to avoid short crops, straight bangs and center parts. A heavy layered bang, with layers at top and hair close to the face will elongate the look. For this you need to use hair styling tools like hairspray or hairpins etc., to hold your hair in place. Big curly hair will add volume to the sides, and will make your face appear wider. A hair straightening iron is the tool for you. You must avoid having weight of your hair near the ears and cheek.

Those of you with round face shapes should certainly consider having a short haircut close to your face. But if you have straight hair, long curls with dangling tendrils are very good as long as they are far from cheeks. A hair iron or rollers to make the curls is the needed hair styling tool here. A bob haircut is specially recommended for women with double chins. A shagged long hairstyle will make your face look slimmer.
