Spring has just started out, sparking the desire of refreshing your haircut and adopting a new style.

Fringe is getting a new triumphal come back in fashion models and celebrities locks this season! As seen in the recent spring/summer 2012 fashion shows and catwalks, bangs are always part of the new hairs trend. Timeless style that, depending on its cut, can look falsely innocent, like Audrey Tautou’s Amelie bouncy pageboy haircut, girly-like, classical or accentuates a femme fatale look, the bangs have been sported by most worldwide celebrities throughout the past decades:

Silent movie actress Louise Brooks was one of the first notable fringe wearer, followed by the 1950s glamour model Bettie Page and the legendary Elizabeth Taylor in the role of Cleopatra.

Most remarkable at Versace, Rooney Mara-esque heavy fringes were also seen at Antonio Berardi, Marni and Iceberg this season.

Long and short, classical and avant-garde, symmetrical and asymmetrical, thick and irregular, oblique and direct, easily adaptable with any type of hair. It’s up to you to play with your hairs and define the right style for you!

However, you must keep in mind that not all faces can sport the same fringe, as not all bodies can sport the same clothing cut. First and foremost, it must suit your face, and be face flattering!

For instance, if you have a square-shaped face like Sandra Bullock, a cut that softens the angles of your jaw will be more appropriate for your face.

Elisabeth Hurley is a typical diamond face shaped, the widest part of her face is the cheekbones, with a narrow forehead, and angular jaw line, she usually wears thick side-swept bangs, adding fullness and width to her forehead and chin.

Elisa Cuthbert is round-face shaped. Celebrities with a round face shape like Elisa, Christina Ricci or Kate Winslet, often adopt layered bangs rather than straight or heavy bangs.

If your face is narrow at jaw line, wide at cheekbones/and or forehead you are a heart-shaped/ oval shapes like Audrey Tautou and can easily sport the paperboy/bob haircut made famous in Amelie. It features straight and thick bangs cut straight across the forehead. Your fringe will be best-worn off-center.

Triangle faces shaped like Katy Ireland, which is the reverse of heart-shape, are better wearing a hairstyle that avoids drawing too much attention to your prominent jaw line. If your face is narrower at the temples and is wider at the jawbone, you will need hairstyles that are full at the temples and shrink at the jaw, the perfect fringe for you is a bang that is teased in an upright position instead of a fringe combed down over the forehead.

Such as triangle faces, the rectangular face shapes like Gwyneth Paltrow must avoid hairstyles that draw attention to their chin, side swept bangs create a diagonal direction, accentuating your eyes.

With all these useful advices in mind, you will certainly enjoy finding the most appropriate style for your face and accentuate your beauty. Play with your hairs, combine several haircuts to create yours and become the spring Godness you want to be! And remember, as Yves Saint Laurent would say:

• Fashions fade, style is eternal » Now, it’s up to you to find your perfect style! Jordan Tate.
