THE FRINGE IS BACK
Shape Of Face Must Be Considered
With the “sack-line,” the long pointed shoes and the hats, which fit the head as closely as a bathing cap, comes another fashion reminder of the 1920’s—the fringe. Paris hairdressers recently issued a warning to women about the new hairstyles; they have seen some ghastly mistakes, they say.
They emphasise that the fringe is not for the woman whose hair grows low on her forehead. Heavy, straight-across fringes and fluffy bangs can add years to a face of this shape. But if you have a square face a gossamer fringe combed across the top of the forehead from a high side parting is most becoming.
If you have a round face the fringe must be set high to give length. To achieve the best effect, comb the hair straight up from the scalp and pin a few curls upright instead of flat to the head.
If you are elderly and your hair is grey you could try a half fringe, kept fine and feathery. Study your face in a mirror carefully before you take the first snips, if you are going to cut your own fringe. If you have any doubts let your hairdresser do it for you.
