Ever had a rough breakup and immediately booked a salon appointment for dramatic fringe? You're not alone—but a leading celebrity hairstylist is urging people to reconsider the impulsive 'breakup bangs' trend.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, the expert explained that while a drastic haircut might feel like a fresh start, it often leads to regret—especially when emotions are running high. Instead, they suggest more subtle transformations that still deliver a confidence boost.
Why Breakup Bangs Backfire
"It's a cliché for a reason—people act on emotion, not logic, after a split," the stylist said. "But fringe requires serious commitment. If you've never had bangs before, the shock of maintenance and styling can add stress rather than relieve it."

The professional recommends these lower-risk alternatives:
- Face-framing layers: A softer way to change your look without drastic upkeep.
- Temporary colour washes: Experiment with semi-permanent shades that fade gracefully.
- Blunt trims: Satisfy the urge for change with a polished, healthy cut.
"The goal is to feel renewed, not restricted," they added. "Choose a style that complements your routine—not one that becomes another problem."
