Woman's 'genius' fringe hack using item in your makeup bag stops it moving on windy days

Anybody who's braved one of the most divisive hair choices - a full fringe - will know the perils of it not staying in place and ruining your look, especially on a windy day.

As you walk, move or even catch a breeze your perfectly styled hair can quickly become a mess, but this TikToker shared a "genius" hack for keeping your fringe in place all day with minimal effort.

Influencer Selena De Flor shared the hack and put it to the test with a video of her walking through a windswept street - with her fringe barely moving at all.

The bizarre hack came originally from another TikTok where @Juju.crossing shared a Japanese product that she called "bangs glue" which she said was "next level".

Shocked, Selena then stitched the video with her own method that doesn't require specialist Japanese hair products. She used lash glue instead, which most makeup lovers will have in their homes already.

She said: "I don't have that glue but I have lash glue so let's go," and then applied the glue before shaking her head and adding: "It worked."

The hack works by applying a line of glue to the forehead, just above where the fringe (or bangs) ends, and patting the hair flat onto the glue. As lash glue is eye safe, it can be used on your skin without fears of damaging your head.

A commenter told Selena to "test on a windy day" and she obliged with a second video, showing her walking face first into a strong gust, with no movement from the centre of her fringe.

Selena noted: "For the most part it worked lol I didn't glue them down good so in the video you can see the sides of my bangs moving up."

Her comments were filled with people excited to try the hack, with one saying: "this is pure genius" and another adding: "girl, this is so smart."

"What, my life is changed forever," praised someone else while a makeup fan added: "Eyelash glue works for everything, I love it."

A fifth person joked: "Someone is gonna see this on the street and think it's a glitch in the Matrix." To this, Selena replied: "Maybe that's why ppl were looking at me."

Many more said her video tempted them to get a fringe cut in, now that they wouldn't have to keep styling it constantly throughout the day.
