how to GROW OUT YOUR FRINGE

THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF WOMEN IN THIS WORLD, THOSE WHO HAVE A FRINGE...

{and will probably die with it}, and those who are just dying to grow the damn thing out... 
Jessica Biel rocked the fringe for a while, but in this latest pic it looks like she may be growing it out!

Jess has cleverly pinned it back under her longer layers..
here are a few other clever ways to cope if your growing out your fringe:

• Cut it. Growing out a fringe requires trimming and reshaping. Have your stylist cut it at an angle once they've passed the bottom of your eyebrows to soften the look. If they're already side-swept, let the outer corners grow while micro-trimming the middle. Each time you get a cut (every four to six weeks, please), have the hair around your face slightly angled to meet the growing bangs. And to even out the overall length, trim a quarter inch off the back. 

• Style it well. When your fringe reaches your eyebrows, it's all about control. Those with coarse, wavy hair need a little pomade to weigh it down, while fine hair responds best to a coin-size amount of gel that's got some alcohol to shape and tame flyaways. Once your fringe has reached the bridge of your nose, apply a styling lotion and curl the fringe up and back with a round brush. Gravity alone will help the hair fall into a sexy wave. And by all means, experiment with different parts—if you usually create one in the middle, a side part can make bangs look less like the centre of attention. 

• Colour it. Fresh colour pumps up hair that's going through an awkward stage. But thinly placed highlights can look oddly striped on bangs, so request a vegetable rinse to give the illusion of uniform length. If you just can't part with highlights, get balayage (fine strands of colour) a few shades paler than your base. Have your colourist concentrate on the tips of the bangs. This draws the eye to the ends and makes the fringe look longer. 

• Push it back. Pin your fringe back with a couple of delicate bobby pins and tuck that under a soft fabric headband. Or pull them back with a clawed band. For a less severe look, let a few pieces sneak out and graze the forehead on an angle. Those with wavy or curly hair can twist the fringe back off the face (as if they were doing a French twist) and secure it with a U-shaped hair pin. In the end, even if you thought it was a mistake to get a fringe, at least it will seem as if you meant to look this chic and fabulous, like Jessica's!
