DIY fringe, DH says it looks bad!

[CollyWombles]

Shameless picture attached. I randomly decided to give myself a fringe today, bored with the usual grown out long boring hair look. DH doesn't like it, says I don't suit a fringe! What do you all think?

I think it looks great and very well cut too.

I like it, but then again I prefer heavy fringes.

We need a before photo to compare it to.

I dislike very heavy fringes on anyone, so I don’t like it, but it doesn’t look any worse than anyone else’s heavy fringe 🤷🏻‍♀️

You’ve done a really good job of cutting it though.

Lools good. It's really heavy though . You need to chop into it vertically to take some weight out.

you fringe isn't just on the forehead but goes back almost until the ears. not sure if this was intended but it doesn't look great.

I would let it grow a bit and then get somebody who is a bit more experienced with scissors to correct. I would probably let it grow out on the sides again.

Once you have the fringe shape you want, it's not that hard to do a DIY trim but cutting it from scratch is rarely a good idea.

btw, I have committed the DIY fringe sin too.... needed a bit of growing out and some help from a hairdresser but nothing that some time and expertise cannot fix.

but the fringe in general suits you

Before pic with my old boy, I was a bit gothy until recently. Also a pic with hair down and make up added!

Love the look!

You look very different so maybe he's just a bit surprised. I think it's nice.

I think you look way better with fringe but as per my previous post, you need some help with it. it is not right somehow (but not in a very obvious kind of way)

Yes the fringe does make you look very different but it suits you. I think you did a good job!

It's well done but I think it's too long. It'd look better just above your eyebrows. Your eyebrows look a bit odd peeking through in the last pic.

looks good with fringe but agree with PP, it needs a bit professional input.

Do you need new glasses soon? I think your frame looks pretty dated and a new pair would give your look just as much a lift as the fringe .

I love it! Well done OP! Looks great with the rest of your hair down 😀

I think something like this would suit you better. I would go to a salon.

Photo didn't load.

I prefer the before photo but it doesn't look awful.

Thanks all! So overall, it's not terrible and I don't need a bag over my head. I really like it, I have a massive forehead so wanted the fringe long, I agree though, the black eyebrows underneath is a bit odd.

The glasses are actually new, but I stuck to the same shape that I am used to.

I think I have a fear of short fringes, my step mum used to cut my fringe and when it's short it goes all flat and weird directions!

Well you could always try a short one again. if you don't like it it will be long again in about three weeks anyway.

I think you look great with the fringe.

Its not even and it’s too wide.

I love cat’s picture- I think that would suit you really well

I love it!

I hate fringes above eyebrows! I also think wispy, side swept fringes are the pits. Go large or go home.

It's maybe slightly too wide but I like the heavy-ness and length.

I'd never have a fringe thats above the eyebrows. Unless it's part of a whole 'Look' it looks frumpy and wrong.

My own fringe hasn't been cut into as I have a new hairdresser who wouldn't do it for some reason but I do prefer some slight cutting upwards to break up the blunt line. Only a little bit though as I think fringes need the weight to hang properly.

Overall you did a good job and it really suits you.

Not so sure about the first pic, but in the second, I think it really suits you. You definitely suit a fringe.

I admire your boldness 😂
