What changes visually

These are design effects to compare, not rules about who can wear this cut. Your preference matters more than a face-shape verdict.

  • A blunt fringe creates a strong horizontal line.
  • A broken fringe feels softer and shows more forehead.
  • Keeping the blend low preserves weight through the sides.

A better salon brief

Decide whether the fringe should be blunt, choppy or swept. Show the barber how much scalp you are comfortable revealing through the sides.

What the preview cannot know

An AI image cannot assess hair density, elasticity, previous chemical services, shrinkage or how a cut behaves after washing. Use it to communicate a direction. Ask a qualified stylist or barber to judge feasibility and adapt the reference to your hair.
