Cool-girl fringe: This trendy fringe isn't just driving Copenhagen crazy

Want to give your hairstyle a makeover? The cool-girl fringe à la Scandinavians is not only timeless but also playful.
Hardly any haircut is as versatile as bangs. Bangs no longer have to end at a single length; people are experimenting with thickness, edges, and styling. Scandinavian women, in particular, are showing how it can work. The cool-girl fringe looks timeless and sassy at the same time. Bangs lover Jeanette Madsen explained to British Vogue what's behind her hairstyle.
Cool-Girl Fringe: Jeanette Madsen shows a voluminous version of the classicIt has character, it has drama, and it practically screams in the face of every observer: It's high fashion! Jeanette Madsen not only enchants during Copenhagen Fashion Week 2025 with her impeccable sense of style, but also crowns her look with a hairstyle that is sure to draw your gaze. Her hair combines the casual undone with the masterfully done style. The secret lies in the positioning of the individual hairs. Here, millimeters make all the difference! Her bangs sit boldly further back at the hairline and frame the eyes in long, sensual strands. On the outside, the strands escape into the length, thus catching our hearts!
Your beauty role model? It goes way back!The creative director of "Rotate Birger Christensen" had her bangs cut back in 2001. The fact that they're now really being brought into focus is thanks to the charm of Scandinavian women! They stylishly wear flip-flops to Fashion Week? Of course, the trend seems to have originated with them. Matilda Djerf, with her voluminous bangs, has become the poster child for curtain bangs, making it only a matter of time before a new trend hairstyle found its way into the spotlight. In fact, her bangs date back even further! The fashionista has also drawn inspiration from them, as she explains to Vogue: "Brigitte Bardot and [Debbie Harry] in the '70s were my inspiration—their hair was always so sexy, effortless, and glamorous at the same time."

She styles her bangs with a round brush on wet hair. Be careful not to pull too hard! Too much volume will make this effortless look look too severe. So, pull the round brush slightly downward at the front to make the hair lie a little flatter. She twists the strands on the sides slightly outward. And voila, the cool-girl bangs à la Jeanette Madsen are complete.
