How do you keep your fringe straight or even get it straight in the first place?

[Missboobyvontits]

My dd, aged 11, wanted to be all rock chick and have a big thick fringe cut into her straight hair. The thing just will not go go straight, straighteners make it stand out and using a big brush and curling it under only looks good for a while then it kinks again.
She used to have a fringe when she was younger which looked look lovely so I know it's not that she was kinky hair...or can it get kinky when you are older?
Any help appreciated.

I have to blow dry mine into shape - and it does get out of shape if it is windy outside or damp.

Her hair may be just heavier now - more substance to it - which is tricky to tame.

The hairdresser blow dries mine, then straightens it - and it has a styling product on - like a thin gel lotion?

I have a Betty page fringe and I mouse it and put big Velcro rollers in it when it's wet, leave it to dry and then a spray of hairspray when it's dry before taking the rollers out. I leave mine curled up but I do the same to my dd's fringe and just brush hers into a flatter shape.

Mousse not mouse!

I've always got a 'statement' fringe of some description and wouldn't be without my Mini straighteners and small barrelled Denman brush.

Be sure to comb it into position while wet and if possible, let it dry there, rather than try to blowdry it. If you do need to use the hairdryer, make sure it's from above the fringe not below to keep the hair shaft in the right direction.

I think I'm quite lucky though as my hairdresser did once say I had the best behaved fringe she'd ever come across!

I've got a 'proper' fringe. My technique is similar to Stella's.

Wash and dry hair. Put large velcro roller in fringe until it's time to leave the house. Hairspray.

Straighteners are terrible imo. They always leave an obvious line where the end of the irons has clamped the hair.

Rollers all the way

I'm with Mombo. I brush mine into position as soon as its out of the towel then blow dry it from above and make sure I brush or hold it from aide to side as it dries so it doesn't fall into position with my parting. It makes it sit flat.

Wow thanks everyone for your suggestions.

We will try each one over the next few washes and hopefully something will work, though, to be fair the wet and windy weather over the last few weeks hasn't exactly helped either.

That's why mini straighteners are so lovely bunny - as long as you're 'moving' from the instant you put them to the hair they're very precise and don't leave any line at all. My larger straighteners do - they're not allowed anywhere near my fringe.

Can also use them to 'roll' the fringe to look more Betty Page, or flick out for Farah Fawcett type look (not that either would appeal much to an 11yo I'm sure!)
