Fringes

[Willow]

I am currently agonising over my fringe...I cut one in about 2 years ago and it sounds pretty similar to Glamourcide's I generally keep it pretty long, just below my eyebrows. So yes, it needs to be trimmed every few weeks. My fringe is quite blunt and full so I would NEVER attempt to trim it myself. When I was prg it grew like weeds so I was getting it trimmed every 2-3 weeks. That might sound like a hassle but it cost me $4 a go and I was in and out in like 10 mins

I am currently growing mine out. For the second time. I started growing it out when I was still prg and it was just about there and then I decided I liked it better with a fringe so cut it in. Again.

looking back it added 10kgs easily to my face

This is one of the reasons I'm growing mine out. I LOVE it and feel fine about it day to day when I look in the mirror etc but every time I look at a photo..I dunno. I just don't look as good as I want to! LOL Friends and family tell me it looks good and it suits me but I dunno...I'm at that crucial point again where I badly want to cut it and colour it a beautiful dark chocolate colour...but I've come so far!!

Anyway - enough about me back to you. Honestly... it doesn't sound like your hair is well suited to a fringe? I think you might find it doesn't sit well without a lot of work if you describe it as 'fuzzy and dry' You could always use a straightening iron, but I find this makes my fringe sit really weird. I just wash mine, give it a blast with the hairdryer and I'm ready to rock I have very soft silky kinda hair so it works really well with a fringe. Soft and silky sounds good right? Wrong. The little trick with the bobby pin the girls are talking about DOES.NOT.WORK. in my hair and it drives me batty. My hair seriously cannot hold a bobby pin, it just slides straight out. I've been trying for years, my hairdresser has tried, just doesn't hold. But I guess for most people it's not a big deal - cut it in, if you don't like it you can just pin it back while it grows out.

My advice would be have a good talk to your hairdresser, she'd know whether it will work or not.

**ETA: Ok, I can't believe I just talked that much about fringes! Like I said, I've been thinking about mine a lot this week
