Blunt fringes are the hot hairstyle of the moment, with stars such as Zooey Deschanel and Rachel McAdams rocking the look. Well-cut blunt fringes can look absolutely stunning but, like all hair styles, they're not for everyone. Can you pull off this smoking style?
First off, you need to check if a blunt fringe will work with both your current hair style and your face shape. If a blunt fringe is going to clash horribly with either, you need to forget the idea straight away. Of course, the rest of your hairstyle can be changed if you really want to embrace the fringe, but your face shape is here to stay!
Blunt fringes tend to look best on long faces due to drawing attention away from the length of the face and also counteracting any width issue which may be going on. Those with diamond-shaped faces are the perfect candidates for fringes which reach just under the brow line and are cut dead straight. Oblong faces are also great for this look. If you have an oval face, you're not totally ruled out just yet. As long as you don't mind the fringe making your face look shorter than it actually is, you can give it a try! Bear in mind that it won't suit all oval faces.
When it comes to hair types, blunt fringes work best with poker straight hair. Curly or wavy hair can be made to work with this type of fringe but it will require a whole lot of effort on your part. Damp mousse and a blow-dryer will keep you looking fab if you're willing to work with your hair every morning. In terms of thickness, medium is ideal in this case. Very fine or very thick hair could cause problems with your fringe and, sadly, the look is completely out if you have a cowlick or similar kinks.
Overall, even if you have the perfect face and hair types, you can only pull off a blunt fringe if you're willing to have your hair in your face all the time and have the patience to style it daily.
