The Hime Fringe
The Hime fringe is the first on our list, and for good reason. This fringe style has taken the world by storm, thanks to Suzy’s “Doona!” effect. It exudes an air of royalty and is a refreshing change from the usual fringe styles. No longer just for idols, the Hime fringe is versatile and adaptable.
The Side-Swept Fringe
A classic choice, the side-swept fringe suits all face shapes, especially those with longer or square faces. This style involves sweeping a small section of hair across the forehead, with the sides hugging the face to create a slimming effect. To perfect this look, use rollers to add a subtle curl to the fringe, ensuring a flawless finish and avoiding any oil buildup.
The Asymmetrical Fringe
To achieve this look, use a fine-tooth comb to create small sections in your hair. Then, either clip or spray the hair in place, especially if your fringe is on the shorter side. For the best results, ensure your hair is straight and sleek, hugging your face perfectly.
The Center-Parted Fringe
Are you bored of your straight fringe or feeling like it’s a little too long? Why not try a center part? The only downside is that it will expose your hairline in the middle. If this is an issue, consult a hair expert to break up the hairline.
The Straight Fringe with Short Hair
This unique combination has been sported by the likes of Park Gyu Young, who looked stunning next to Cha Eun Woo in “A Good Day To Be A Dog.” Lee Yoo Mi also rocked this style with Ong Seung Woo and Byun Woo Seok in “Strong Girl Nam Soon,” proving its versatility and youthful appeal.
For a bolder statement, pair a straight fringe with the “octopus” hairstyle, as seen on Taeyeon and Winter from aespa, for a fiery and confident look.
The Straight Fringe with Long Straight Hair
Once overlooked due to the popularity of permed hair, the straight fringe with long straight hair is making a comeback. However, this style is quite particular about face shape and requires regular hair care, as well as more time for washing and drying compared to other styles.
This timeless look has been sported by three members of Red Velvet: Irene, Seulgi, and Yeri, each bringing their own unique charm and elegance to the style.
