The DIY Fringe Cut Is Bang On Trend This Season

  • By Bryan Goh

The DIY Fringe Cut Is Bang On Trend This SeasonDifferent strokes for different folks: Khairel’s DIY-like fringe cut makes the chop for the season. 

How did we decide that the DIY fringe cut is one of Resort ’24’s surprisingly biggest trends? We took a look at the season of simplicity and into the next, another season so, and decided that there was a radicality in things that were presented as they were. Straightforward in their ease of being, unostentatiousness that highlights a quiet confidence instead, and fashioned for action and activity.

But by no means will these trends guarantee one a sufficient amount of style that can only come from mining self-exploration and cultivating charisma but what are we certain of? That the DIY fringe cut might be longer than usual but not scruffy and in your face, and definitely not over your eyes. However, it should first be done by your stylist (it is a red light though if he flinches when asked) and next, by yourself at home when it gets too long. Snip upwards, and then at different lengths to maintain its texture.

IGK Good Behavior Spirulina Protein Smoothing Spray, $26
The way this lightweight spray mimics the smoothing properties of a keratin treatment makes it a winner but its other ability to help one cut down on blow-drying time makes it the holy grail of all hair products.

Kérastase Nutri-Supplement Split Ends Serum, $81
The serum claims to protect the hair from heat of up to 230°C and not that we’d test it ourselves, but it’s this property that makes it a sure way to protect strands from constant styling and especially if heat is involved.
