Textured Fringe Haircut: At a Glance
A textured fringe is a fringe cut with multiple layers to create volume and movement in the hair. The bottom edges are shaved with a razor or snipped vertically with shears for a choppy effect. It looks stylish paired with a taper, a fade, or even a modern mullet.
Steps
5 Textured Fringe Haircut Ideas
-
Low Taper Textured Fringe Pair your textured fringe with a precise low taper fade. In this variation, the hair around your head is left the same length until it nears your ears and the nape of your neck, where it's cut shorter. Because it's positioned low on the scalp, it leaves some of your sideburns on either temple intact.
- You can create a style called a blowout fade by opting for a low taper and then volumizing your long textured fringe.
-
2Mid Taper Textured Fringe A mid-taper haircut is similar to the low taper fade, except the hair shifts from long to short in the middle of the scalp. It's a good middle ground between a low and a high taper or a high fade, which involves cutting or shaving a lot of the hair around your head. Whichever you choose, it will look sleek and clean, especially when paired with a short fringe.
-
3Messy Textured Fringe Leave your fringe medium to long (skimming the tops or bottoms of your eyebrows) and trim the hair around your head to roughly the same length or slightly shorter. Then work texture product into your hair and move the layers around, until your look gives "I just woke up this way" vibes.
-
4Curly Textured Fringe If you have natural curls, define them by applying mousse to your hair while it's still wet and then letting your hair dry. If your hair is merely wavy or straight, apply a heat protectant to your fringe and then use a curling iron to achieve the spirals you desire.
-
Straight Textured Fringe For those whose hair is naturally straight, apply a texture product to bring more movement into your textured fringe. Alternatively, work hair gel through your hair to make your style appear sleeker and more modern.
