The Fringe

Okay Blogging world, I need your help. I'm thinking of getting bangs. You know, the ones that go straight across your face. The "fringe" is what it's called, as I newly discovered. What d'ya think? Yes? And if yes, which kind? (there are many options listed below) No? Too trendy? Too out of style? I would like both girl and guy responses to this. Please and thank you!
Endless "fringe" cuts:
  • Straight fringe: Combed straight down with no interference.
  • Blunt fringe: Cut straight across the forehead in a blunt manner.
  • Sideswept fringe: Hair cut longer than a normal fringe and swept across one side of the face.
  • Pin-up bangs: The bangs are cut in a short "U" shape above the brows.
  • Parted fringe: A fringe parted down the middle or off center slightly.
  • Choppy fringe: A fringe cut uneven and choppy.
  • Brow-Skimming fringe: Hits below the brow and can look "heavy" or "light" on the face.
  • Wispy fringe: A short fringe that "sprinkles" over the forehead lightly.
  • Power-fringe: Unusually large and protrudes from the top of the scalp near the forehead to up to great lengths.
  • Short/baby fringe: A short fringe which is usually cut above the brows, it is normally bluntly cut across the middle of the forehead and can be shorter.
  • Shaved fringe: The hair at the front (the part that makes the fringe) is shaved off. It can also be used to undercut fringes or bangs.
  • Fringed Bangs: Subtly uneven cut just over the eyebrows.
I never knew you could have such a variety of bangs!

I think a mix between the choppy, wispy, and fringed bangs would look great!! I see it in my head but none describe in quite right and I'm not sure how to explain it. Go look at a pic of casey bingham on fb of her bangs (half her face pic) what I'm thinkin of is kinda like that....oh and sorry for the way long comment :)

Well, I like it the way it is. But if you were to do it, I would go with Zoey Deschanel's "the fringe." With your darker hair, it would look great. And don't worry about trendy. If it goes out of style, hey it's hair, it can always be changed.-Just Another Helping Hand

I think you would look darling with fringe bangs. I personally like the bang style in the top left corner of the collage of bangs. I also like the zooey d. bangs. But any of them will really look good on you! Good luck!
