9. The Angular Fringe
The angular fringe is a bold, contemporary haircut that plays with geometric lines and asymmetry. In this style, the sides are kept short—often a mid or low taper—while the top is left longer and cut at an angle, allowing the hair to sweep across the forehead in a sharp, diagonal line. Straight hair is essential for this look, as it provides the clean, sharp lines necessary to define the dramatic angles of the fringe.
To style, apply a matte paste or texturizing dust to dry hair. Work the product through the top, focusing on pushing the hair forward and diagonally across your forehead. Use your fingers to define the ends and create a piecey, textured look. This haircut is highly effective at balancing rounder face shapes, as the sharp angles of the fringe help to create the illusion of stronger, more defined facial structure.
