Tomorrow I am going to my hairdresser. To get my hair cut after a very long time!

It’s well below my bra strap curly, well wavy at this length. Central part no fringe.

Not sure how much it will curl anymore since two pregnancies.

Tell me your fringe successes and failures. I have spent a long time thinking about this and I 98% certain I am going to do it 😬

I absolutely Love a fringe for two days then hate it n I’ve done it several times stupidly They’re vile in hot weather and need styling daily and an absolute shit to grow out . They seem to look great for about a week out of 6 lol , get them trimmed they’re too short for two weeks then look great for about a week and then they’re too long again pffttt

It’s your shout obviously but be 100% certain please .

And in rainy windy weather it’s also a nightmare but summer is horrendous

Get a fringe, i got one a year ago and it's the best thing I've done with my hair. Everyone compliments it. I think i just look better with half my face covered!!
It's fine if I blow dry it straight away after washing. It's a bit sweaty in summer but not unbearable. And you can always pin it up. Do it!!! Curly hair looks lovely with a fringe too.

Speaking from experience, I have curly hair. At the age of 30 my hairdresser talked me into having my hair cut short as it would be easier to maintain. I was in a flood of tears once she'd finished as when I put my glasses back on I looked 20 years older and it was awful. It took 3 years to grow out. I will never go short again by choice.

I have posted a pic, we ended up half and half. Half short, half fringe πŸ˜‚

Hairdresser and I didn’t know how much it would bounce so all a bit of an experiment.

Have washed and dried now and defo don’t have my curls anymore! Quite excited about this actually. It’s voluminous waves πŸ₯³

So it’s not a full full fringe but he didn’t want to do it. He said let’s see how this goes and we can work on it. Really happy with it. Put it in a little bun. Also tried Princess Leia buns and they look super cool 😎

Have attached the inspo picture I settled on for day to day, and I think he’s got it bang on!

Also check out my hair which will be sending to little princess trust

Can we see it down op?

I curly fringe will not even cover your whole forehead especially when styled with products so not really a comparison to Botox

If your hair really curly just get a short bob-type haircut? Curly fringe is not a good look.
