When it comes down to fringes the choice is up to you. If you have thicker hair, a blunt fringe will suit you more, thinner hair tends to suit more wispy fringes or fringes swept to the side so not too look to heavy.

Your oval face shape will suit your hairstyle whether there is a fringe or not if you're looking to change your hairstyle but not too dramatically why not experiment with a fringe?

Thick, straight, long fringes should be bushy, well defined and often need trimming. A side parting makes this fringe discreet and easy to wear. You can alternate sides to change your look.

It is entirely up to you and if you feel confident with or without one.
