Ahead, learn more about the fringe and my experience getting the look. (Again, did you see Hadid’s hair?) I had what seemed like 3,000 questions-so I asked top experts to weigh in. Even though I wasn’t scheduling a full-blown haircut, I knew that the slightest tweak to any hair look can have a transformative effect. I decided to take the plunge as photos of celebrities with the look, like Ariana Grande in her 34+35 music video and new mom Gigi Hadid (who, BTW, garnered 3.6 million comments on her fringed look in the first few hours of her posting her selfie) made it that much more covetable.Īdmittedly, I was apprehensive before making my hair appointment.
My itch to get the fringe began during the lengthy quarantine period-between my phase of scrolling through banana bread recipes and stint as a whipped coffee barista for my best friend. Thinking about getting curtain bangs? I feel you.
