Fringe Maintenance Guide
Keep your fringe looking fabulous day after day with our comprehensive maintenance guide. From washing techniques to seasonal care, we've got you covered!
Washing & Daily Care
Washing Frequency
Oily Hair
Wash fringe daily or every other day. Your fringe gets oilier faster than the rest of your hair!
Normal Hair
Wash every 2-3 days. You might need to refresh your fringe with water between washes.
Dry Hair
Wash 2-3 times per week. Use dry shampoo to refresh your fringe without over-washing.
Daily Maintenance Tips
Rinse fringe with cool water in the morning to reset style
Use a small amount of leave-in conditioner on the ends only
Sleep with fringe pinned back to prevent overnight flattening
Keep blotting papers handy for oily fringe emergencies
Brush gently in the natural growth direction
Avoid touching your fringe throughout the day

Between-Salon Trimming Tips
DO:
• Trim only the longest pieces
• Cut when hair is completely dry
• Use sharp hairdressing scissors
• Work in good lighting
• Cut less than you think you need
DON'T:
• Attempt major shape changes
• Cut when you're emotional or rushed
• Use blunt household scissors
• Cut wet hair (it springs up when dry)
• Try to fix a bad cut yourself
Dealing with Oily Fringes
Why Fringes Get Oily Faster
Forehead produces more oil than other areas
Fringe hair is in constant contact with skin
Less air circulation around fringe area
Touching and styling increases oil transfer
Quick Fix Solutions:
• Dry shampoo on clean mascara wand
• Blotting papers for emergency oil removal
• Quick rinse with cool water and blow dry
• Baby powder lightly dusted and brushed out
Prevention Strategies
Morning Routine
Cleanse your forehead after your skincare routine to remove any product residue before styling your fringe.
Product Choice
Use oil-free, lightweight styling products. Avoid heavy creams or oils near the fringe area.
Lifestyle Habits
Keep hands away from your fringe, use clean pillowcases, and consider your skincare routine's impact.
