Full Fringe
Brow-skimming · blunt
A full fringe is a blunt curtain of hair from temple to temple, cut straight across at the brows. It's the most committed of the bang family and the most graphic — it frames the eyes, hides the forehead, and instantly changes the geometry of a face.
Who it suits
Long, oblong faces benefit most — the horizontal line visibly shortens the face — and it balances a heart shape's wider forehead. You need decent density at the front hairline; fine hair does better with a see-through version. Round faces and strong cowlicks should think twice.
This is the needy one: trims every 2-3 weeks, plus a daily three-minute blow-dry to sit flat. Humidity, forehead oil, and sleep all show in a blunt fringe.
Full Fringe — common questions
Should bangs be cut wet or dry?
Dry, always, for a blunt fringe. Wet hair stretches, so a fringe cut wet can jump a full centimeter shorter once it dries. Any good stylist cuts fringes on dry hair — it's fine to ask.
How often do blunt bangs need trimming?
Every 2-3 weeks to keep them at brow length. Hair grows around a centimeter a month, and with a blunt fringe you see every millimeter. Most salons offer quick fringe trims between full cuts, often free.
Will a full fringe make my hair greasy?
It sits against your forehead all day, so it picks up oil faster than the rest of your hair. Dry shampoo at the fringe roots, or a quick rinse and blow-dry of just the fringe, fixes it without a full wash.
