Next big thing: the super-slicked fringe?

This season, the super-slicked fringe is making waves in the fashion world and has been spotted on fashionistas everywhere. More on-trend than ever, we spotted this high-shine look on the Alexander Wang autumn-winter 2014-2015 runway at New York Fashion Week.
 
This structured look is great for creating an androgynous feel with boyish charm. The fringe is slicked back with gel and every model’s foreheads featured a dewy finish. This effect works with any hair color whilst streamlining your features for a more mysterious and seductive look. Keep your forehead clear of any hair to draw all the attention to your smoky eye make-up.
 
To get the look, create a low-lying parting next to your ear, sweeping the rest of your locks over to the opposite side with a hairbrush. As for the rest of your look, hairspray is going to be your best friend. You’ll need a fair amount to create the Alexander Wang look. In terms of make-up, a smoky eye or a thickly drawn winged eyeliner should do the trick, finished with a few coats of thickening mascara for best results. For your outfit, you should counterbalance this rather masculine hairstyle with a more feminine and sophisticated ensemble. For a younger approach, you can also use this hairstyle to create an urban edge that oozes modernity. Ready to give this style a go? Head to your stylist for an expert finish. They will be able to advise you on how to best create a slicked fringe that suits your face shape. Hop to it, as this look is set to be the ‘it’ hairstyle of 2015!
