20 Ultimately French Hairstyles with French Girl Flair

Ready to delve into the essence of classic French style and elevate your tresses with a touch of nonchalant French girl flair? From iconic bobs to tousled waves, discover the charm of perfectly imperfect hairstyles that’ll have you looking like their French counterparts wearing that enviable je ne sais quoi. Ooh la la!

1. Long Hair with Bangs

This style by haircutting specialist Brian Aguilar from Newport Beach, California, is the epitome of French chic! A French woman hates poker-straight hair or razor-sharp bangs. Instead, embrace soft, flowing locks with gracefully tousled bangs for that effortless style.

5. Full Bangs

Going for a hairstyle with full bangs is another way to style hair the French way. This season, a wolf cut might be the most trendy way to pull off blunt bangs look. With shaggy layers and innate texture, the hairstyle also gives you some natural-looking volume.

Ever wondered what makes curtain bangs and shaggy layers so popular? “I gotta say it’s the fact it looks so good on all face shapes for me,” explains Dawn Atkinson-Stack, the stylist behind this sexy, naturally tousled style. The texture is key in French hairstyles, so go all out! Use a curling wand to achieve beachy wavy hair and load up on texture spray.
