It advises a light fringe, minimal curl, and waves at the sides, noting Greek coifs flatter some faces while urging personal adaptation over rigid trends. It also discourages heavy hair and long lengths for ease and modern look.
A fashion note discusses bangs and hairstyles for a girlish face. It suggests a gentle fringe with downcast eyes and a wistful mouth, praising a quaint prim look while avoiding extreme styles. The piece argues a soft fringe offers relief to the brow line and smooths facial contour.
