WITH A FRINGE

THIS is the most difficult bob to wear because of the way it forms a square and symmetrical frame around the face. This will make even the softest features appear stronger — great if you want to stand out; not so much if you’re wary of magnifying any ‘imperfections’ such as a big nose or heavy jaw.

It looks stunning on Noomi Rapace, above, the Swedish actress in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Before going for the fringed bob, ask yourself, ‘Do I want to camouflage my features or have them stand out?’ If it’s the latter, go for it.
