Judge bangs at their dry length because shrinkage and bend can change where they land.
Texture check
Fringe width affects how open the face looks and how strongly the sides are framed.
Upkeep check
Trim frequency depends on the landing point, texture, and preferred level of polish.
Best reference
Save a clear front view and a second angle when the back shape matters.

Account for texture and shrinkage
Straight, wavy, and curly hair can make the same fringe appear shorter or fuller. Ask how the front will sit without being freshly styled.
Use photos precisely
Save a clear front view and describe the width, part, and side connection you prefer. A second angle can clarify how the fringe blends into the overall cut.
