Grivka

A grivka is a Ukrainian term for a fringe or bangs of hair, cut short and straight across the forehead. The term is primarily used in Ukraine and among Ukrainian diaspora communities. While the word "bangs" is more common in English, "grivka" specifically refers to this hairstyle within a Ukrainian cultural context. The style can be seen historically and is often associated with traditional Ukrainian folk costumes and imagery. Modern interpretations and variations of the grivka are also common, reflecting contemporary trends in hairstyling. The term can also sometimes be used colloquially to refer to a similar hairstyle in other cultural contexts, though its primary association remains Ukrainian.
