Seemingly every celebrity has been experimenting with fringe styles recently, from Kim K getting baby bangs to Ashley Tisdale cutting “French Girl” bangs, and even I feel the pull toward my kitchen scissors. But before you attempt to DIY some new bangs (please don’t), take a beat to figure out which fringe you’re actually interested in.
“First-time bang-cutters should always start with a professional,” says hairstylist and colorist Meri Kate O’Connor. Don’t worry if you’re not quite sure of what to ask, says O’Connor: “Just bring in photos of the looks you want and what you’re going for, and then talk to your stylist about what would work best for your texture and face shape.”
To help you out with the inspo, we rounded up our 25 favorite fringe haircuts for every hair type and texture, below. Get ready to screenshot and show your stylist.
Shaggy Fringe
“With thick hair, you have to be careful not to cut too much bang,” says O’Connor, “or you’ll accidentally create too much bulk that then needs to be thinned out.” Maya Hawke’s shaggy, face-framing fringe is a perfect example of how to balance thick hair using thin layers and razored ends.

Coily Fringe
Whether you’re working with 3c or 4c hair, you can cash in on the fringe trend without losing length by sectioning off a layer of curls before pulling your hair into a high puff or bun. After restyling and re-shaping your fringe, you can (carefully!) snip off any straggly or damaged ends that look out of place.
