If you have a summer mood board around, Halsey is going to be on it. On 9 June, the singer posted a series of selfies on Instagram ahead of a performance at the Primavera Porto Festival in Portugal. In a departure from their usual "bixie" haircut [2], they wore a bob hairstyle [3] with a micro fringe [4].
Instead of hitting at the nape of her neck, Halsey's black hair was cropped at chin length. She paired the short style with a micro fringe, which provided a rocker-chic edge, fitting for a global pop star like herself. Messy curls were added throughout the style, giving it a grunge feel. In addition to Halsey, the look has been spotted on stars like Ariana Grande [5] and Katy Perry [6] in recent months.
Micro fringes, otherwise known as baby bangs, take a traditional fringe and chop off an additional inch or two, allowing it to sit comfortably above the eyebrows. Though their's is likely courtesy of a wig, Halsey's version of the style followed all the rules of the cut to the letter. The style works on all hair types and textures, providing a that "intentionally undone" look that feels equal parts editorial and effortless.
