On-Trend Varieties of Fringes Illustrated and Explained
Here we have collected all kinds of fringes having a moment in 2025 and provided them with a short description highlighting their specific features.
1. Effortless French Fringe. This is a full yet piece-y fringe that can be slightly angled at the edges and often goes past the eyebrows, and it does a great job of spotlighting the eyes and cheekbones.
2. Ethereal Thin Fringe. You can opt for thin strands to softly frame your face, but make sure they have enough volume and texture to avoid a sparse and limp look.
3. The ’70s Curtains. Effortlessly parted in the middle and growing longer toward the temples, all types of curtains are trending now, on top of being highly customizable to various face shapes.
4. Eyebrow-Grazing Birkin Fringe. This is a softer version of a full fringe sitting around the brows, and it is hairstylists’ favorite among different kinds of fringes for short hair because of its lightness and piece-y texture.
5. Retro Chic Bottleneck. Mimicking the shoulders of a bottle with its narrow top getting wider and curving at the cheekbone, this style falls into the best kinds of fringes for oval faces due to the accentuated symmetry.
6. Feminine Korean Fringe. The Korean fringe tends to have a softer and wispier feel even when repeating the shape of western styles, which may be the wrong choice if you want your hair to seem fuller.
7. Airy Wispy Framing. You can tell a wispy fringe from other styles based on its lightness, but these thin pieces can be attached to both thick and fine locks — to break up the density in the first case or create the illusion of height in the second.
8. Impressive Long Front Pieces. Long fringes range from lengthy side pieces to center-parted feathered styles that hit cheekbones or even the chin level and come with a built-in elongating effect.
9. Easy-To-Wear Layered Style. This category covers different kinds of fringes cropped with varying lengths and worn side-swept, straight, or parted in the middle, which allows pairing them with a wide range of coifs.
10. Well-Defined Piece-y Fringe. Unlike some other kinds of fringes, this version is more about the finish than the shape since you can get a fringe with separated strands by properly styling almost any texturized pieces.
11. Versatile Middle Part Fringe. A fringe parted in the middle can be both straight or graduated, such as curtain fringes, and they are the best pick for round faces, giving them a much slimmer appearance.
12. Mussed-Up Bardot Style. Although you are free to choose different kinds of fringes for long locks, you can effortlessly arrive at the iconic Brigitte Bardot look if pairing your lengthy locks with a deep, thick, and feathered fringe roughly parted in the middle.
13. Statement Asymmetrical Fringe. Blunt or choppy, long or short, steep or slightly sloping, fringes cropped with one side longer than another make a bold statement and suit round faces giving them a nice angle.
14. Classic Straight Fringe. This category encompasses several styles of fringes for straight hair, including blunt, feathered, piece-y, side-swept, and even parted styles, which look best when falling somewhere between the brows and the tips of the lashes.
15. Bouncy Blended Curls. There are many varieties of fringes for curly hair, starting from choppy ones that help spotlight your curl texture and ending with baby styles that play up super tight coils.
16. Low-Commitment Clip-In Fringe. You can try on several kinds of clip-ins with human hair or synthetic extensions before taking the plunge and chopping your natural tresses.
17. Personalized Face-Framing. This style extends the front hair pieces to blend with side strands and highlight your facial features. It is among the most recommended option for long locks since it leaves you with nice face-framing layers when you put your hair up.
18. Breezy Feathered Fringe. This airy fringe is texturized around the ends using the “feathering” technique to land a soft-edge look especially flattering for square and heart-shaped faces.
19. Universal Side Pieces. Front strands parted on one side and thrown to another are called side-swept, whether cropped at the eye, cheekbone, or jawline level.
20. Bold Short Fringe. Also called a micro or baby fringe, these pieces fall only a couple of inches down your forehead and create a striking look with both short and long locks.
21. Whimsical Arched Fringe. A crescent fringe doesn’t need to be that short, but it’s usually cropped bluntly to dramatize the semicircle shape, and it has the power to soften square-shaped faces.
22. Blunt Geometric Face Framing. If you are after framing for thick locks, look no further than this chopped straight-across version since it will showcase the fullness of your mane without any layers or other bells and whistles.
23. Fun Braided Fringe. This group includes different kinds of fringes made with braiding, which can combine long and short strands, feature various plaiting techniques, and be accessorized in many ways.
24. Sassy Choppy Pieces. You might be surprised to find this fringe cropped to different lengths among those recommended for thin strands, but if starting deep enough, it delivers both fullness and texture and can be styled tousled to maximize the volume.
25. Playful Wavy Fringe. We cannot list here all the fringes for wavy locks, but you can rock curtains, a straight-across fringe, or a side-swept style depending on your face shape and hairdo.
26. Rock ‘n’ Roll Shaggy Fringe. This is a layered fringe shaped to feature shorter sections at the bridge of the nose and a choppy graduation toward the edges to give plenty of texture and seamlessly blend with the rest of your locks.
27. Sculptured Edges. Little strands sticking out of your hairline and called baby hairs/edges can be artistically styled in sleek, swirly patterns to complete your updo.
28. Scenic V-Bangs. This is probably the most daring style in our chart, but girls with oval, heart, or diamond-shaped faces can pull off the look even if they are not Gothic or anime fans.
29. Full Volume Thick Fringe. Thick fringes are not always blunt or straight, so you can wear them side-swept or slightly parted in the middle if your face is round or get them full and texturized at the ends for an oval shape.
30. Attention-Grabbing Swoopy Pieces. Highlights go well with face-framing pieces helping to illuminate the face, enhance the texture, and perfectly adapt your color to the skin tone.
That’s the list of different fringes that are all the rage in 2025, and we hope you have spotted an idea or two to inspire your next transformation.
