I have an on again, off again love affair with bangs. If you cut ‘em, you’re stuck with them until they finally grow out. And then, a few months later, you miss them and start the whole process over again.

This fall, however, my bangs are back and bolder than ever with a heavy fringe. I love fringe bangs because not only do they make a statement, but hey, you don’t have to groom your eyebrows …

The fringe trend has been steadily popular with celebrities who are opting for a little retro look. They take a little maintenance: constant trimming and post-shower blow drying, but the pay off is worth it. I love the look for this time of year since it pairs perfectly with hats.

How ’bout it? Are you ready to make the cut?
