Have you seen the ads for slightly wacky products that pop up on your Facebook feed? You know the ones, like the phone case with your last Google image search or the glitter hot pants that will definitely itch.
For Chrissie Swan, it was a clip-on fringe and instead of scrolling past, she clicked and ordered.
The result? Impressive.
“I bought a $20 clip in fringe off a Facebook ad and it has transformed me into a hip music journo from 1996,” she captioned the fringe-filled selfie.
The Zooey Deschanel comparisons were almost immediate.
“Makes you look 10 years younger,” commented one follower, while another added “You need to be their spokesperson/model. Totally rocking it.”
Turns out it’s also the secret to (perhaps almost too) youthful looks, too.
“You look like you’re 12!!,” wrote one commenter.
Swan is all of us who couldn’t resist the impulse purchase – but it looks like it may have just paid off.
Many were pointing out a clever use for the clip-in hair piece – it’s the perfect test to see how you really feel about having a fringe before you commit with the scissors and live to regret it.
Swan hasn’t shared exactly where she got it from, but we’ll keep you updated.

Through observation and doing location makeup for a production company I learned a couple of things about "looking younger".
Long hair with a fringe is definitely the most youthful.
Or at least "longish" hair with a fringe.
A long fringe too.
Getting your hair cut too short to flatter your face can age it and make it look fatter.
This stuff has nothing to do with fashion either.
Hair colour can be important - warm colours are the best.
Using a hair colour that's too dark can be a bit ageing & harsh.
I think it's wise to rethink a visit to a tattooist to get permanent eyeliner - particularly black and under the eyes.
What's with this "new" trend of thick eyebrows too?
It can look a real disaster.
I've found that using a lighter-than-usual foundation can really transform older skin (don't forget to lightly powder and then use a soft pink blusher ).
It might also be a nice idea to visit a wig shop and have fun experimenting with colours & styles - but I still reckon "long with a fringe" could take about 15yrs off your face.
What do those of us with really curly hair do?? There's no longish with fringe in my wildest dreams :)))
I'm a curly girl too but a fringe just goes frizzy. Generally I find the maintenance difficult (straightening constantly) and the smallest touch of sweat or water and that thing frizzes and I look like I belong in the 80's...
I have really curly hair and a fringe - I blowdry and straighten it every morning without fail - the rest stays curly :)
Have heard of these and would love to buy one! My hair is too thin to do a fringe so this would be perfect 👌
