Think I'm going to get a fringe cut

[christinarossetti]

Dark brown hair, bit wavy, quite thick and heavy so tends to dangle when it gets below shoulder length.

I'm 48 and the dangling is starting to feel a bit ageing. Thinking of having a choppy chin length bob with fringe - see picture.

Is this style a bit young, do you think?

How would you dry it or what products would you use to get that texture in the picture?

Yep, having a fringe is much tidier, and a textured cut with fringe is very low maintenance. I don't use any products....just big brush and blow dry....but that's what works for my hair.

I like it.
But a hot brush so u can easily neaten it up in the morning

Thank you all! Now can't wait!

Have a hair apt this afternoon and will update later.

Pics please! :)

I'd go for the fringe but not the layers - they look way too short and will need endless styling...

Love my fringe. It's the only thing standing between me and Botox.

This is completely outing to anyone who knows me, but...

Before...

And after....

Not obvious from the pictures, but it takes years off me and feels utterly liberating! Very pleased.

Wow! Big change, I bet you look fab

Looks like a lovely cut. X

That's fab!

I have wavy/ loose curls last time I had a fringe it curled very tightly and my hair won't hold a style so straightening it wasn't an option.I haven't had a fringe since

Looks brilliant! Stylish and a bit French. You should join the Parisiennes on Mumsnet thread now

My trick for the perfect fringe was to put a medium Velcro roller in it while I did my makeup-kept it out of the way and gave it volume and got rid of the frizz at the same time-very low maintenance and my hair looks rubbish unless I straighten/curl it.

Ps, looks fab!

Very nice indeed!

That looks lovely. Could you tell me what you asked for for the rest of your style, is it very layered? I too am thinking whether to have a fringe cut. At the moment my hair looks like a triangular bob so am thinking I might look like a lego head if I do it. I think I need more shape like yours has but I'm not sure what to ask for.

Another request please for what style you asked for at the hairdressers, or did you take in the original photo you posted ? I have a long straight bob at the moment and I'm so bored with it, I want your hair, it looks fab.

Thank you! Yes, I took the picture in. I have to have layers to avoid the Crystal tips look, so aside from the fringe it's what I'd usually have.

Definitely lifts my face and makes me look younger.

Thanks Christina.
