I've spent the last 4 months trying to grow my fringe out and I've now reached a semi-acceptable beyond nose level- but as irony would have it I now want to cut it back in. I love the effortless cool of fringes and if you've got the right face for them, they can look amazing. If you're gonna do fringes there's only really two ways:
Thick, heavy, over the eyebrows, especially good if you've got thick hair like me. A modern version of beautiful Jean Shrimpton's late 60's haircut.
Or short, hot rolled and noticeably above the eyebrows. Think Dita Von Teese meets the retro "Page Boy" haircut. For the more eccentric.
When you're growing them out you can also opt for the centre parting, "curtains" which look alot cooler than they sound. Alexa Chung, Jameela Jamil, they're all doing it.
Fringes have been around for a while now, but I think it's more about having the right face than being in fashion. And if Marc Jacobs doing fringes on his AW10 catwalks, it's good enough for me!
As my hair is naturally curly and out of control when in contact with water I'm going to leave the fringe for after the Summer Hols and see if I still fancy it in September, when my hairs a bit longer and can keep my forehead warm in the colder months!

I'm forever stuck in the "fringe or no fringe" dilemma....on the one hand I love the fringe look rocked by Abby Lee, but I want long luscious locks like Megan Fox and she doesn't have a fringe. Arrrrrrgh! Whenever I fancy a change I go for a fringe, it's an instant hairstyle update, but for now I think I'll persevere with growing it out...
