Okay, so today I want to talk about my little adventure with getting Bardot fringe. You know, that effortlessly chic, parted-down-the-middle look inspired by the one and only Brigitte Bardot? Yeah, that’s the one. I’ve been seeing it all over, and I finally decided to take the plunge.
The Consultation
First things first, I booked an appointment with my hairstylist. I’ve learned the hard way that cutting your own bangs is a recipe for disaster. I brought along a few pictures of the kind of fringe I was going for, you know, to give her a clear idea. We chatted about my face shape and whether the style would work for me.
The Chop
After washing and drying my hair, she sectioned off the front part, right where the bangs would be. I could feel the excitement building up! She started by cutting the middle part a bit shorter, around the corner of my eyes. Then, she gradually made the sides longer, so they would flair out nicely. It was all very precise and careful, not rushed at all.
Styling Fun
Once the cutting was done, it was time to style. She showed me how to use a round brush and a hairdryer to give them that perfect, slightly curved shape. I’ll admit, it took me a few tries to get the hang of it, but now I can do it pretty quickly.
The Verdict
I absolutely love my new Bardot fringe! They frame my face beautifully and give me that effortless, French-girl vibe I was going for. I found that my face is an oval shape, and my face is suitable for a lot of bangs, but if you have a round face, a longer, side-swept fringe might be a better fit to help elongate your face. And if you have a square face, a full, heavy fringe could work wonders.
A Few Tips
- Don’t be afraid to experiment with different styling techniques. Sometimes I wear them straight, other times I give them a bit of a wave.
- Invest in a good dry shampoo. It’s a lifesaver for those in-between-wash days.
- Remember that bangs require regular trims to keep them looking fresh. I usually go back to the salon every few weeks.
So, if you’re thinking about getting Bardot fringe, I say go for it! Just make sure you find a good stylist and have a clear idea of what you want. And remember, it’s just hair – it’ll grow back!
