STYLES / TEXTURED FRINGE

Textured fringe.

Hair forward, ends broken up, sides tapered. That is a textured fringe in one line.

The fringe falls onto the forehead instead of being pushed back, and the ends are cut so they separate into pieces rather than sitting in one solid block. A taper or low fade on the sides keeps the weight on top and in front, where the style lives.

02 / THREE LOOKS

One idea, three weights.

From light to heavy.

In the first photo the fringe drops straight forward, with a crisp corner at the temple and skin at the sideburn. In the second, the top is longer and heavier, swept forward over a taper kept low around the ear.

The third shows the back of the cut: a choppy, textured crown over a taper that finishes at the neckline. From behind, a good fringe cut should still look intentional.

04 / UPKEEP

The fringe is the clock.

When it hits your eyes, rebook.

A textured fringe tells you when it's due: once the front starts covering your eyes, the shape is gone. The taper on the sides usually wants attention a little earlier than that. Day to day, it is a low-effort style: no part to set and no comb required.

05 / QUESTIONS

Fringe questions.

What does textured fringe mean?+

Fringe is the hair that falls over the forehead; textured means the ends are cut uneven on purpose so they separate. Together: a forward-worn front that looks loose instead of blunt.

How do you get a messy textured fringe?+

The cut does most of it, since the ends need to be broken up. After that, push it forward by hand and skip the comb. Ask me at the end of your cut how to keep it looking that way.

Is a textured fringe the same as an edgar haircut?+

They are related looks. An edgar usually has a blunt, straight line across the forehead and a sharp fade. A textured fringe is softer and choppier at the ends. Whichever you want, bring a photo so we picture the same cut.

Who should not get a fringe?+

Anyone who hates hair touching their eyebrows, or someone with a strong cowlick right at the front hairline that pushes the hair up instead of forward.
