The Straight Fringe
The straight fringe can be a nice alternative for a simple look that still looks good. A fringe is another term for bangs and the straight fringe is as simple as you can get with the fringe coming straight down just over the eyebrows. The look goes great with straight hair or hair with some light waves. The straight fringe can fall straight down or be curled up a little to give a look with more volume. The most useful part of a straight fringe is the nice frame it creates for the facial area. The straight fringe gives the appearance of a more narrow face and even proportions, a great option for many facial shapes. For more detailed looks, other ways of doing a fringe probably will look better than the straight fringe. Lets take a look at some excellent styles for the straight fringe.

Simple, Straight Fringe

The first straight fringe here belongs to Jessica Alba who wore this cute, simple hairstyle to the Spike Awards. Her hair is straight and simple with a straight fringe that comes down a little below the eyebrows. The fringe itself is parted a little bit which is shown by the spaces between the hair. The layered, multi-tone cut and fringe combine to frame the facial area, creating a slimming effect. Jessica has a great facial shape and does not need it but does make this simple, straight fringe a hot look.

Puffy Fringe

This straight fringe is a little different from the first because it does not fall straight down. The fringe is curled up to provide a look with more volume. This fringe is great for hairstyles with volume, waves, curls, and updos. The fringe falls right over the eyebrows and is spaced evenly over the forehead. The light waves in the locks and the volume in the hair produce a very beautiful combination with this fringe. This shows how the straight fringe can be changed to go with more complex hairstyles to create beautiful looks.
