I've been rocking the indie fringe for a few years now, i find it does take a bit of maintenance every few weeks to stop me going cross eyed. I like to mix it up every now and again, sometimes it's completely blunt and very straight and other times more choppy and messy. At the moment is asymmetrical and starts very short at one side and gradually gets longer across. I do all the cutting myself, much cheaper than going to get it trimmed every few weeks at the hairdressers! In regards to actual styling, it does get a bit fluffy when I wash my hair but nothing a quick run through with the straightener can't fix...takes 2mins.
