Have I made a mistake? Please tell me my new fringe looks OK...

[Kristin27]

I really like fringes, it's looks nice! If you're not sure about it, try parting it at the side and swoosh it across your forehead... I do that with mine when it's getting a bit long and I can't get to the hairdresser.

Pfffft to her! I think it looks nice

My MIL carried on when I got my hair cut short

[~breeze~]

DH just got home & said "Well it's convenient for your school reunion because it looks like your trying to look like a school girl"
FFS.....
Doesn't matter DD & I like it (& all of you!) Oh & my twin sister likes it too

OMG, I had the exact same experience about 6 weeks ago - my MIL said almost the exact same thing!!

Mine starts a lot further back and is longer and fuller, trying to think of someone famous with a similar fringe...um, kinda like the Veronicas?

Anyhoo, my DH said it made me look 14 - that was the BEST thing he could have said!! hahaha.

It does take timeto get used to it, I still have days when I think...hmmmm, did I do the right thing? But now I can grow my hair out without it hanging in my face constantly (my hair is UBER soft and silky, sounds great in theory but not when it can't even hold a bobby pin...no joke. My hairdresser couldn't even get the front of my hair to stay back) and am looking forward to having a bit of length and being able to wear it up again.

You look great - don't worry about your MIL - I'm not

P.S. Why can't MIL's just keep their opinions to themselves??? Grrr so rude. I'm sure they told their children if they can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. They should take their own advice and shut it!

To be totally honest - I think it looks better because you don't look like so "mumsy" - like you have 5 minutes to do your hair (even if you don't!) with your hair in a pony tail you DO look a little bit like a school girl but it's probably more the pony tail than the fringe anyway and I reckon it would look great with your hair down - and who says looking like a school girl is a bad thing?? You do look younger, which is supposed to be great!The photos with your little one look great. I got a fringe recently and I love it! It hides my wrinkles!! Besides, fringes are very in just now down our neck of the woods - if I see "a little school girl" kissing a grown man at Warringah mall with two small kiddies, I'll guess it's you ! You'll know it's me, cause I'll say - "love the fringe girl!!"

I think it looks good. I see far too many women these days with long one length straight hair without fringes & just wish they'd either get layers or get a fringe.

As for not being mature, I have a fringe & I'm 42.

They say a fringe takes 10 years off you so that could be what's bothering your MIL - that would make your agegap look way worse.
