It’s been over twenty years since my I allowed my sister to hastily to my hair while we were getting ready for a night out. It was a moment of madness - but I never looked back. I .
From then on my bangs got heavier, fuller and blunter over time, and my fringe and I lived happily ever after for over two decades. That was until this summer, during a particularly hot and humid heatwave - I don’t do well in the heat. While reaching for my to style my fringe into position over my clammy forehead, I suddenly realised that it was all becoming a bit of an effort and that it was time for a change.
Fringe upkeep is not low maintenance - my naturally wavy hair always needed a quick once over with my , I had to do a DIY trim at least once a week, and there was never an option to skip a hair wash as a full, blunt fringe hides no secrets. I'm sure my desire to grow it out also had something to do with the lust-worthy celebrity fringes that have been everywhere this year. and Sabrina Carpenter were both up there as major style crushes for me and their fluffy and effortlessly-chic, flicked out fringes have fast become my end goal.
I’m now four months into my grow-out and it has been tricky to deal with at times. A few weeks back I officially reached the point where it couldn’t be worn down as a fringe anymore and I felt a little bit lost with how to deal with it each morning. I was very tempted to pick up my scissors and trim it back in but I stayed strong and instead invested in so.
