Beauty Tip: 5 easy ways to hide your fringe

Easy ways to make that fringe hair style and enjoy it

I have a love-hate relationship with fringe. When I don't make one, I want one, and when I do make one, I want to get rid of it. If you've ever had a fringe on, chances are you've felt the same. Here are 5 easy ways to hide your fringe and enjoy it.

The Double Dutch Braided Pigtails

If your fringe was just cut or trimmed, and is on the shorter side, try braiding it into a style like this one. To achieve this, part your hair down the centre and begin plaiting three strands down the left side of your head, weaving the pieces under one another rather than over. This causes the plait to stand out as opposed to blending in with your hair. Repeat on the right side. When you've reached the back of your ear, secure it in a ponytail or braid it all the way to the bottom, depending on the desired look.

The Hair Flip

I'm a huge fan of this flipped hairstyle because it doesn't take long to coax your fringe into the side-swept style. To get the look, simply use some texturising spray to give your fringe a gritty texture so it stays back when you run your fingers through your hair, and then add some hairspray to secure it in a side sweep.

The Three-Second Side Braid

To create this quick braid, side-part your hair in line with the arch in your eyebrow, and then take three strands of hair and start braiding the hair along your hairline into a traditional plait. Continue braiding your hair toward the back of your head, pulling and including pieces near your temple, and then secure it at the ends.

The  Halo Braid

If you have longer hair and want to put it all up, this is a style that will not only keep your fringe off your face, but it will look like you also put in a lot of time and effort into your style “when it really only takes about five minutes”.Create it by starting the braid near the back left side of your head by the nape of your neck. Continue to braid along the left side of your head, across your hairline, and around the back of your head. Finally, secure the end of your plait so it wraps around to the starting point of your braid.

A Braided Topknot

Another cute, speedy style you can create to keep your fringe out of your face is this braided bun. To copy this look, section off three strands of hair at your hairline and plait them, grabbing more hair each time you cross the pieces over one another. Then, when you get to the crown of your head, wrap your hair into a topknot and pin the ends with a bobby pin to secure it.
