The Ultimate Guide to Styling Fringes (No Scissors Required)
We have all been there. It is 2 AM, you are scrolling through Instagram, and suddenly you decide: "I need fringes." But before you grab the kitchen scissors and make a decision you might regret for the next six months, stop!
Fringes (or bangs) are back in a big way in South Africa, from wispy curtain bangs to bold, blunt cuts. But the growing-out phase is painful. The solution? Fringe Wigs.
At Exclusive Virgin Hair, we believe you should be able to switch your style as often as you switch your outfit. Here is how to rock the fringe trend without touching your natural hair.
Why Wigs with Fringes are a Game Changer
Cutting fringes into your natural hair is a commitment. Styling them every morning requires blow-drying and constant trimming. A wig with a fringe offers the perfect compromise:
-
Zero Commitment: Want bangs today and a forehead reveal tomorrow? Just switch wigs.
-
Face Framing: A fringe instantly changes your face shape, hiding a larger forehead or highlighting your cheekbones.
-
No "Awkward Phase": You never have to worry about growing them out.
Which Fringe Style Suits You?
Not all fringes are created equal. Choosing the right style depends on your face shape and the vibe you want.
1. The Blunt Fringe (The "Cleopatra")
This is a heavy, straight-across cut that sits just above the eyebrows. It is powerful, edgy, and pairs perfectly with a bone-straight bob.
-
Best for: Oval faces and anyone who wants a bold look.
-
Try it with: Our classic Bob Wigs tailored with a blunt cut.
2. The Curtain Fringe
Trending heavily right now, curtain fringes are parted in the middle and sweep to the sides, blending into the rest of the hair. They are softer and more romantic.
-
Best for: Round or Heart-shaped faces.
-
Try it with: A long, wavy unit from our Wigs Collection customized by your stylist.
3. The Wispy Fringe
Light, airy, and "piecey." These aren't as heavy as blunt bangs and give a playful, youthful look. They look incredible on Pixie Wigs.
Styling Your Fringe Wig
Even though it’s a wig, the fringe needs attention to sit right.
-
The Flat Iron Method: For blunt bangs, use a small flat iron to slightly curve the hair inward (towards your face) so it doesn't stick straight out.
-
Use a Wax Stick: Fringes can get flyaways. A light touch of a wax stick on the top of the wig will keep everything flat and polished.
-
Trim to Fit: Most wigs come with a longer fringe so you can cut it to your face length. We always recommend taking your new unit to a professional stylist to get the fringe cut to your exact eye level.
