This 'sculpted' hairstyle offers the look of a fringe without the commitment – and it's must-try for summer

Viola Davis, Michelle Yeoh and Jennifer Aniston are pictured with takes on "sculpted fringes" in a purple and beige watercolour paint-style template.

Tipped by the pros as a must-have look this season, "sculpted fringes" offer a refined and glamorous take on retro side-swept bangs but with no cut or commitment involved...

While side-swept hair was the springtime go-to both on and off the red carpet, 2024 hair trends are now ushering in another, more statement iteration on side-styled hair to take its place. Dubbed "the sculpted fringe" by hairstylist and trend forecaster Tom Smith, this look is not to be mistaken for a typical fringe. In fact, before you write it off entirely because you neither have nor want bangs, this trend is simply designed to afford the look of a fringe – a "faux fringe", if you will – without requiring so much as a trim of your hair.
