How To Style a Clip In Fringe

The fringe, aka bangs, aka… That one tempting haircut that we all considered at least once in our lives. But then again, the opinions are mixed… Some say that a fringe is quite hard to grow out, others simply start styling it in a set of trendy curtain bangs and let it do its thing until the hair is long enough to be styled as face-framing layers. But then again, what if you’d like to experiment with different types of fringes and bangs without any commitment? Before hair extensions took over, switching looks and bangs hairstyles from one day to another seemed like an unachievable dream. But today, the story is quite different: look no further than a clip in fringe! This versatile accessory is the perfect solution for those who would like to try something new every day, and can be popped on and off for any occasion. But how do you style your clip in bangs, and how many different looks can you achieve with yours? Let’s find out together..

Blending Techniques for Seamless Integration with Extensions

If you’ve already purchased the perfect clip in fringe for you, then it’s now time to get styling. Unless you’ve already experimented with bangs in your life, it’s best to leave this to a qualified hair stylist. Blending in with your natural hair can be done in just a few minutes, depending on the style that you want to achieve with your new clip in bangs. To complete this task, if you’re willing to try it on your own, you’ll need thinning scissors, hair cutting scissors, sectioning clips (also known as alligator clips), and a pintail comb. Whilst some of these tools are available in the Cliphair Hair Accessories collection, for some others – such as professional scissors – you might need to refer to hair salons and professional retailers. You can find some of our recommendations in this blog: The Best Scissors To Trim Hair Extensions At Home. 

Trimming and Customising Your Clip in Fringe with Extensions

Depending on the desired style, you can trim and customize your clip in fringe however you prefer. Be mindful that every cut is permanent, so make sure you first try it on and take the necessary measurements. Straightening your bangs with a flat iron can also help you get the numbers more accurately. Check out our dedicated blog: How To Cut Hair Extensions to know more about cutting your own hair extensions. Ready to find your style? Here’s some of the hairstyles you can achieve with a set of Cliphair clip on bangs.

Blunt Fringe

Probably the easiest hairstyle to achieve, the blunt bangs are the perfect finish for a long and sleek hairdo. Elegant and sophisticated, this look has been spotted on celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, and Liv Tyler. Characterised by a heavy, full line and a straight cut, blunt bangs work wonders on oblong, round, and oval faces.

Wispy Bangs

Wispy bangs are a fan favourite for those that love the blunt style but don’t find it as flattering on their own features, and are particularly indicated for those who have been blessed with a squared or heart-shaped face. As seen on Zendaya, Bella Hadid, and Hailey Bieber, wispy bangs are a trendy and youthful hairstyle.

Baby Bangs

Also known as micro bangs, this haircut has been on the rise especially when fashion trends tend to go more on the edgy side of things. Sported by celebs such as Alexa Demie, Olivia Rodrigo, and Emma Watson, this trend is on the rise and is considered a power move. Definitely for the bold type, and working wonders on oval faces!

Choppy Bangs

The stunning hairdo as seen on Gigi Hadid, choppy bangs can seem quite intimidating at first, but can be just the cherry on top of an undone, lived-in hairstyle that is glamorously curated. Perfect for heart-shaped and diamond-shaped faces that want to bring attention to their big eyes and cheekbone area!

Curtain Bangs

The trend that has been adopted by thousands of millennials and gen Z alike thanks to the 90s revival. Stars of the time such as Cindy Crawford, Madchen Amick, and Denise Richards have all walked so that the curtain bangs-wearers of today could run. The perfect hairstyle for those who would like to add face-framing layers to their faces without committing to a dramatic fringe change. Working wonders on round faces!
