The Boredom Economy

While these trends sourced from the Spring/Summer ’22 runways and the internet might leave one yearning for youth-like qualities, the fetishes and flamboyance, one cannot deny too that they vibrate at a higher frequency than the piteously generic ones.

THE FLIPPY FRINGE

Going by many a moniker — blunt, choppy, French, or wispy bangs — this form of a fringe draws a curtain on the “brushed-up hair” look while tapping into the textural side of things from the season. While all face shapes can pull off said wispiness, Tomoya recommends listening to him (or one’s hairstylist, for that matter) because wider foreheads lend themselves to a length slightly below the eyebrows and shorter, soft-sweeping side fringes help to soften a round-shaped face. Post-cut is when one needs to be even less flippant about the upkeep, “you should style it according to the hairstyle you already have” and that is where one should sit on the spectrum of the style.
