Over the last several months, I've written my fair share of hair trend reports for the new year. And while bobs are still making waves and soft mullets are having a clear moment, there's one hairstyle (or perhaps, accessory to a hairstyle)on everyone's lips: the humble fringe.
For 2025, fringes have made the ultimate return (did they ever leave?!). Enough to terrify any commitment-phobe, getting a fringe cut in once was seen as an act of chaos and confusion (going through a breakup? Cut in bangs as an act of defiance.). But no more: in 2024, it seemed not a cool girl around hadn't experimented with some form of fringe, be it full, side-swept or mini.
