7. The Curly Fringe — 7. The Curly Fringe

A curly fringe places texture forward, allowing ringlets or coils to frame the forehead instead of being pushed away from the face. The cut can be paired with tapered sides or kept fuller all around, depending on the desired shape.

It scores well for expressive texture and forgiving movement. The main requirement is enough moisture and gentle handling to keep the curl pattern defined.
