Journey Girls on the Fringe

In Australia we call the hair style a fringe, I've seen it often refered to as Bangs on the www, so I had a search, and found the explanation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangs_(hair)
"The term fringe refers to the resemblance of the short row of hair to ornamental fringe trim, such as that often found on shawls. The term bangs originally referred to a hair cut bang-off (straight across at the front), although the term is now applied to diverse forms of hair stylings. It is probably related to bang-tail, a term still used for the practice of cutting horses' tails straight across."

( i decided not to photograph the horse's behind, but they've been banged)
 
Of all my Journey Girls, the only one that came fringed in box, was Shannon (box name Callie). This has since changed with later releases of Callie having no fringe.
 

Mikayla (boxed Kelsey). She has very fair skin, and was starting to look in my opinion all forehead. Also due to the very pale green of her Iris (coloured part of the eye) her pupils (black bit) were too stark in contrast.

I think her fringe has softened the whole look.
 

Meghan (formerly Meredith) was a little big on the forehead as well, it might be the fairness of her skin and the colour of her hair.

I've fringed her as well.  Its not quite sitting right to my satisfaction yet, it has parted and sticking up on the left, hmm maybe it was cut too short, but I do like it.
I've checked in with Ginni (glasses, aka Dana) and Keiralee (Paris Kyla), they're fine with their hairdos (for now).
 
Zara (originally Taryn, since renamed Chavonne) has had a few of her curls pulled forward, sometimes she wears them long (there was a little curl who had a great whop of curls right in the middle of her forehead)

other times she tucks them up into her head band, but still a little over her forehead.
 
A few other things out on the Fringe...
BFC ink Zoe's Cabbage Patch Kid Li'l Sprout
 
BFC ink Hayley's Li'l Sprout
 
Anya (Karito Kid Ling )

here's one I prepared earlier..
Loralie(BFC ink Kaitlin the fifth) . 
She has a bit more hair than the JG girls, I cut the hair on either side of her part back about half an inch, and trimmed the front row of her rooted hair as well.  BFC ink hair is more densely rooted so you can't really see the gap in front row to second row unless you go rooting around for it.  JGs is a bit more sparsely, so I looked at the first two rows of hair and pulled forward every second strand from each row.  As Shannon's hair was intentionally fringed hers is very dense, I've given my Mikayla and Meghan just a fine line.
 
Chloe (BFC ink Aliesha Summer Splashin' is fringed, I've trimmed hers so its above her eyebrows)

Gillian (BFC ink Gianna is fringed)

Rose (BFC ink Gianna the 2nd clips her fringe back)

Georgia (BFC ink Aliesha 100+ poses)

Shanandoah (BFC ink Calista, lets say one of many), she is actually wearing a fringed wig

and them boys, Jackson and Brandon, or the other way round.
