Spring 2025 brought a breath of romanticism straight from the Regency era. A new hair trend reigns on the catwalks, red carpets and social media – Jane Austen bangs. This delicate, subtle hairstyle, inspired by the style of one of the most famous English writers, is winning the hearts of women around the world. Is it a return to the classics or a modern interpretation of old times?

Romantic, subtle, giving lightness to the hairstyle. Jane Austen-style fringe, which covers the forehead on one side and slightly reveals it on the other, like a veil of secret, is one of the most fashionable cuts for spring and summer 2025.

Hair stylists take us on a journey to the 18th century, when one of the most popular writers of English literature – Jane Austen – lived and created. As it turns out, apart from her novels, her appearance is also worth attention today, especially her fringe, which three centuries later became a star in social media and on the red carpet.

A hairstyle reminiscent of the Regency era sets new trends. How to create such a fringe and does it suit every face type?

Hair stylists claim that it is very simple, but you cannot leave your fringe "alone" for many weeks, you should take care of its arrangement every day, and trim it from time to time so that it always looks impressive.

Regency fringe stands out from others with its subtle, straight locks of hair that fall over the forehead without completely covering it. Experts suggest two ways to style this type of fringe.

• Parted in the middle: the slightly curled ends add volume and romance to the hairstyle.
• Straight falling locks: reveal the eyebrows and add lightness to the entire style.

This fringe goes well with both loose waves and elegant updos, such as a bun or low ponytail. Additionally, it can be decorated with vintage-style headbands that will emphasize its retro character.

According to experts who work with celebrities on a daily basis, taking care of their hair, the key element of a Jane Austen-style fringe is its naturalness and lightness. It cannot look "overstyled" because it will lose all its charm. Every day, you need to remember to part it to the sides to expose the forehead. To prevent the fringe from trying to "run together", the ends of the hair should be gently curled, each in a different direction.

Regency fringe can be worn by people with both elongated and rounder faces .

• Oval face: fringe emphasizes symmetry and adds delicacy.
• Round face: optically lengthens the face and adds lightness.
• Square face: softens features and adds subtlety.

However, it is important to adjust the length and density of the fringe to the individual features of the face and hair structure.

Its timeless form means it will look good in everyday styles, but also for special occasions, where you can change its arrangement into Hollywood waves.

Its romantic character, versatility and subtlety make it a perfect choice for women who want to refresh their look and add a touch of Regency elegance.
