A fringe can completely change a look, softening the face and adding a fresh, modern feel. If you are considering a fringe wig, this guide explains the main styles, how to choose one that flatters your face, and how to keep it looking lovely.
Why choose a fringe wig?
A built in fringe frames your face and can make a wig look even more natural, drawing the eye to soft layers around the hairline. A fringe is also a gentle way to try a new style without any commitment to your own hair.
The main fringe styles
Curtain fringe. Longer pieces that part in the middle and sweep to each side. Soft, flattering and easy to wear, it suits almost everyone.
Blunt fringe. A straight, full fringe across the forehead for a bold, polished look. Beautiful on straight styles.
Side swept fringe. Angled across the forehead, this is a soft option that blends easily into the rest of the style.
Wispy or textured fringe. Light, feathered pieces that feel airy and low maintenance.

Choosing a fringe for your face shape
As a gentle guide, soft curtain and side swept fringes flatter rounder faces, while a blunt fringe can beautifully balance a longer face. The most important thing is how it makes you feel, so it is always worth trying a few.
Human hair or synthetic fringe?
Human hair fringes can be trimmed and styled to sit exactly how you like, and they move very naturally. Premium synthetic fringes hold their shape with very little effort. Both can look wonderful, so it comes down to how much styling you enjoy.
Caring for a fringe
Fringes sit against the skin, so they can need a little more attention. Keep the area clean, style gently, and if you have a human hair fringe, a professional can shape it for you so it falls perfectly.
