Hair how to: Perfect fringe (part one)

The fringe has been on the fashion radar for a while now and I can see no signs of this trend becoming old. Pretty much universally flattering, a fringe can draw attention to the eyes, as well as covering any fine lines or wrinkles and giving shape and structure to long hair. No wonder it’s a favourite of so many models!
Spring/Summer 2010 sees the fringe looking hotter than ever. Here’s some tips and tricks on how to create the ideal sleek and sexy fringe.
1. To keep your fringe behaving itself, make sure it’s in good condition. Dry or damaged hair won’t have that super sleek effect you want. Use a shine-enhancing shampoo, such as Pantene Pro V to get your hair in shape.
2. After rinsing, towel dry the hair and then comb through a small amount of straightening cream. Too much and the fringe will look greasy, so go easy. Try Mop C System Straightening Cream, which smells divine and will protect your hair from hairdryer or straightening iron damage.
3. Blow dry your hair in small sections leaving the fringe until last. Use a paddle brush to lift at the roots and point the hairdryer downwards along the hair shaft. This will give a sleek finish.
