Princess Kate topped off her crowning glory with bangs for fall: Here’s how you can too
The fringe has moved from the fringe back to the mainstream this fall thanks to the Duchess of Cambridge.
When Kate stepped out last week with a long, parted fringe added to her crowning glory, (a.k.a. her luxe locks) style sites deemed her updated look brilliant. The Duchess’ new do is sure to send many of her loyal style subjects on this side of the pond straight to the salon this season.
Bad hair days
The future Queen of England reportedly spends about $20,000 per year on cuts, colouring and blowouts to transform her naturally wavy tresses into arguably the world’s most famous sleek head of hair. For us commoners with more modest hair maintenance budgets, committing to the snip can be tricky, especially when remembering past fringe-related hair disasters.
Nadia Albano once begged her hairdresser mother to perm her bangs for her.
“I had a round face, permed bangs and straight hair,” recalled Albano in a phone interview from Vancouver, where she now owns her own studio.
Many of us can relate. Old school photos are littered with girls sporting bangs an inch too short, bangs blocking the eyesight of the wearer, fringes stuck to foreheads from sweat, and, yes, even permed bangs.
In a bid to help you avoid any further embarrassing memories and photos of extremely unfortunate bang-related hairdos, Yahoo Canada spoke with three hair stylists for tips before you go under the scissors this fall.
Hair grows back
If your bangs don’t look as bangin’ as the Queen of Fashion’s or the future Queen of England’s, don’t fret. Just as sure as the leaves will continue to fall from the trees, bad bangs will grow out (eventually). And, hey, at least you didn’t perm them.
