Blunt full fringe (add-on): questions

What do I ask my barber for with a blunt full fringe (add-on)?

Read this out: “Full blunt fringe at the brow, lightly textured, not too heavy.” That's 3–4 in (7.5–10 cm) on top with a blocked neckline, recut every 2–3 weeks. Your own barber card adjusts it for your part side and texture.

Blunt full fringe (add-on) vs lob (long bob): what's the difference?

The blunt full fringe (add-on) and the lob (long bob) share medium length and any density, which is why they get mixed up. The blunt full fringe (add-on) is cut as “Lightly texturise the fringe so it isn't too heavy”; the lob (long bob) as “Blunt or light long layers; bevel the ends under or out”. On texture, the blunt full fringe (add-on) takes 1A–2A hair; the lob (long bob) takes 1A–3A hair. Our engine scores both against your own texture, density and hairline, so the free check tells you which of the two ranks higher for you. Full spec: lob (long bob).

Is the blunt full fringe (add-on) a women's cut?

Yes: our catalog lists the blunt full fringe (add-on) as a women's cut, so it comes up when your check is set to women's cuts, and not in the men's list. That is where gender stops counting: the shape is decided by your hair and your proportions. The spec wants 1A–2A hair at any density, and it still works with a clearly receding hairline. The free check measures your texture, density and hairline, then ranks the blunt full fringe (add-on) against every other women's cut.

Does the blunt full fringe (add-on) work on curly or coily hair?

It's best on 1A–2A hair. On 2C–4C hair the shape doesn't hold, so our analysis rules it out.

Does the blunt full fringe (add-on) work on thin or fine hair?

Yes: the catalog allows any density, so low-density hair isn't ruled out. Nothing else in its spec marks it down for fine strands or low density. Density is measured in the free check, and our thinning hair guide lists the cuts our engine favours for thin hair.

How much upkeep does a blunt full fringe (add-on) need?

A trim every 2–3 weeks: 17–26 cuts a year, about $510–$780 at $30 a cut, plus 5 minutes of styling a day.

Who should skip the blunt full fringe (add-on)?

2C–4C hair (wavy, curly and coily): the shape depends on a texture it can't hold, so we rule it out. A hairline past Norwood 3: at stage 4 it's shown with a caveat; beyond that we hide it. Scores lower if you have a low forehead. Barbers also flag: Round or short faces, a low forehead, a cowlick, oily skin, 3A+ hair, heavy frames.

Is a blunt fringe the same as a blunt full fringe (add-on)?

“Blunt fringe” is one of the names people use for it. Ask for it by the spec above rather than the name, since names vary between barbers.
