I have a fringe type thing.  It's asymetrical, starting just below the middle of my right eyebrow, over to the bottom of my left ear.  I usually wear it over to the side, but if I'm going out punky (as opposed to being tidy in work) I brush it down over my eyes.  (Kindly note I'm 17 and can still get away with this lol)

I have a fringe because I have issues with my hairline (widow's peak).

That sugar spray sounds good.  I have a friend always tells me to wear a mohawk for a laugh (this would not be safe) maybe this would be the way for me lol.

 You gals a fabulous. Does sugar water hairspray really work? This is  awesome and cheap if it does. Was also wondering if it would dry fast. Some sprays soak your hair, until they've removed all the curl. Got to have something that holds up in wind as well.

 Many thanks Missrini and Kim

Hey missrini,

Im new to the forum here and was just reading your question for the hairspray that doesnt give flakes? I dont know how the sugarwater went but Im from australia too and i use Schwarzkopf Silhouette laqueur, or the silhouette flexible hold hairspray. They definately wont give you flakes, and they're only about 8.95 for a can,

Hope this helps!

ps. have you been holding the nozzle too close to the fringe, i know that will give you flakes for sure!

Hey Rinny86 (is your name really Rini? I've never met another Rini!! How cool!), welcome to the forum

I actually found a hairspray that doesn't give me flakes. It's Taft! Yep, the one that little old ladies use   It has a lighter hold, but it doesn't build up at all, and no more little white flakes!

As for the sugar water hairspray...it's on my "to do" list

What part of Australia are you from? I'm in Adelaide.

Hi Everyone! Some people where asking about the origin of the term
"bangs" and so I googled it and here's what I found out. The word "bangs"
was adopted from the term used to describe the clipping or bobing of a
horse's tail straight accross. Such horse's were called "bangtails" and
"bobtails". So there ya go. Other hair terms have originated from the
horse (ponytail...duh) so I guess it makes sense, but I still think fringe
sounds better! Anyhow, I do have a fringe right now but I am struggling
with wether to grow it out or not.

Thanks for that info Sugaree!!

What are your pros and cons for having a fringe? ie....why do you want to grow it out and why do you want to keep it?

Thanks Sugaree, that sounds more logical than the "quick as a bang" silliness I found in the encyclopedia

I have bangs right now, but I'm considering growing them out. I have a very big forehead though, so  I may be self-conscious!

No fringe for me; I struggled for years with this but have a nice widow's peak and some wave around the hairline.  I also just like hair without fringe better personally, but that's just my taste.  Whatever you feel good in is cool in my book.

I had these two really thin pieces of hair at the front of my head... surrounded by a lot of thin wispy damaged stuff... so I kind of chopped it a little bit last week.  I'm not too terribly sure whether or not I like it... it's still about an inch below my chin, but because there's no weight anymore now they try to curl and it looks stupid.  I still wouldn't call it a fringe or anything.  They fit into a ponytail.

I think I'm going to make one final trip to a hairdresser just for some final styling stuff before I start seriously growing my hair out... get the dry ends off and possibly a more angled "fringe" or bangs or whatever... I originally grew out my bangs in grade 8.

Well, right now I have a fringe that goes straight across, but since I've
been toying around with growing them out, they are kind of longer than I
usually wear them and are hanging in my face. I like having a fringe
because they add volume to the front of my hairstyle. I also like having
them for updos, I feel like it gives the style some balance, ya know what I
mean...? On the other hand, the longer my hair gets the sharper the
contrast between the fringe and the rest of my hair, which, again, is all
about balance for me ( I'm a graphic artist by trade so I'm obsessed with
balance and symmetry, I can't help it!) I would want my fringe to be
longer if that was the case.

Really it all depends on what you consider to be a fringe, I always kind of
assumed it was either a straight across or a asymmetrical kind of fringe,
but if we're saying that having a few pieces at nose length is considered
fringe, than I will probably always have one, all be it a longer
one....few...that was a lot of words.

How about short clothes to balance the long hair?
