It seems to be the season of the fringe, at least in Lacroix's books. Models waltzed down the runway with uber thick lustrous locks practically covering their eyes. The look was healthy and lustrous, we're talking daily washed and conditioned fringes, with a nice blunt cut that covers the whole forehead, and the kind of natural shine that's achieved by 8 hours of sleep.

Of course, if you like this look and want to cheat I'd recommend a little swipe of John Frieda's Frizz Ease across the fringe- just a touch though as greasy is a definite no no. Fringes do take a lot of maintenance, you're looking at regular trims every 3 weeks, and you should try and wash it daily to keep it from irritating your forehead and building up spots. Use dry shampoo if you have too (we like batiste here) and you'll be fringing fabulous!
