A fringe (or bang) trim is a quick, low-risk hairdressing service that reshapes and tidies just the front section of your hair, without cutting the rest. Because a fringe sits against the face and frames your features, it tends to grow out and lose its shape faster than the length behind it, so a regular tidy keeps the style looking crisp between full appointments. A stylist will usually assess your hair texture, density, natural growth pattern and any cowlicks, along with your face shape and how you like to wear it, before trimming.
