I want one SO bad. I love them. All kinds. But they get trashed under my bike helmet, and I love my bike too much to give that up for a hairstyle.

Side sweeping fringes don't require as much maintenance - as they get longer, you just sweep them further across, if that makes sense.

Give it a whirl! Gor for a longer one to start with, so that it won't take too long to grow out if you hate it, then move on to a shorter one later if the look is working for you.
