When will men drop their fringes? It's been over 20 years.

Maybe it's been for longer but since the late 90s I've been very unhappy with the extremely popular hairstyle of men pointing their fringe skywards on an otherwise normal hairstyle. I never imagined it would last more than a decade, but it's still going with no end in sight!

Sometimes it's the whole front area of their hair or even most of it.

David Boreanaz and Downey Jr often have it.

It's been over 20 years since I've had a fringe even in potentia.

Sic- that guy's fringe has nice curls to it. The hair I don't like is a lot straighter. Maybe a general aversion to hair that stands too straight for any real length. There may be exceptions, maybe.

I thought fringe meant bangs

when will men drop their surreys

My "fringe" grows naturally skyward. As its curly and didn't conform to US norms of masculine beauty, I've hated it since I was a child.

brimstead, Sunday, 8 September 2019 00:23 (four years ago) link

Again, probably too wavy and curly to qualify. It mostly goes straight upward.

Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, 13 September 2019 17:15 (four years ago) link

i have straight hair that sticks straight up naturally and a cowlick at the front. i don't have, what i think you're referring to, which is just the front standing up and the rest not?

Usually.

A lot of Tyler Labine sticky up styles too. I'm sure he's a nice guy and he does indulge in better hairstyles now and then.

Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, 13 September 2019 17:44 (four years ago) link

in the 90s in scotland (as I'm sure you know) there was the very hilarious haircut of a short buzzcut all over with a fringe, usually sticking up but occasionally down on the forehead in a whispy way. horrid either way

Seany's too Dyche to mention (jim in vancouver), Friday, 13 September 2019 17:45 (four years ago) link

Yes, I knew a lot of guys who had either one of these hairstyles. They thought it was the coolest thing ever.
