Getting a fringe cut into your hair is one of the easiest ways to change your look. It still gives you the versatility to change your hairstyle on a day to day basis – you can pin your fringe back, or pin it up to create a quiff or vintage curl effect. If you want to have a fringe cut in, talk to your stylist and see what they recommend. These are some of the most popular options:

• Side fringe. This will just be on one side of your face and will usually be left quite long, making it easy to style.
• Full fringe. A full fringe will cover the whole of your forehead and can be any length you want.
• Box fringe. This is basically the same as a full fringe but is usually a more blunt cut. A box fringe is typically very thick and will start quite far back into your hairline.
