10 struggles gals with a fringe will know all too well

1. The first time you get a fringe, you fully expect it to remain in place like Dawn O’Porter’s

So thick, so lustrous, so perfect.

2. But reality sets in the second you encounter some drizzle

Two minutes in what Irish people call “spitty rain” is all it takes to ruin your fringe and dash your dreams of being Dawn O’Porter. Not great if you’re living in Ireland.

3. You aren’t ashamed to admit that you’ve attempted to dry your fringe under a toilet hand dryer

A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.

4. You’ve had your Mam give out to you for having your fringe in your eyes

“Would you ever push back your fringe so we can see your lovely face?”

5. Which has led to you attempting to cut your own fringe at home

Because why would you go to a hairdresser to get your fringe trimmed when you can do it yourself with a nail scissors at 11pm on a Tuesday night?

I got this.

6. You’ve accidentally gone too short before

“Oh great. Now I look like I’m in an indie band from 2011.”

7. You know that there’s nothing worse than getting the dreaded sweaty fringe at the gym

Despite all attempts to clip it back. Curse you, fringe!

8. You’re all too familiar with the Fringe Law, which dictates that your fringe will never look well in photos.

It will either look sweaty from throwing shapes on the dancefloor or bitty from trying to fix it for the photo. The universe works in mysterious ways.

9. Getting a passport photo is an ordeal to say the least.

Might as well just wear a hairband and show off your forehead, tbh.

10. Despite everything, you just can’t quit.

It’s a vicious circle.
