Fringe bangs will help to frame your face and bring attention inwards to help distract from your jawline. The fringe effect will help to break up normal straight across bangs that emphasize the jaw.

TIP: When asking for these bangs make sure to tell your Stylist you want them Brow level! This will bring focus straight to your eyes!
