If French Girl fringes have been on your hair radar for years now, then get your Pinterest boards ready because we've found your next easy, breezy hair obsession.
Yup, we're talking about the French Girl bob. A très chic twist on the classic shoulder-skimming bob haircut, the French Girl bob is simultaneously laissez-faire, understated and inherently romantic. Not to mention, your post-lockdown split ends will appreciate the chunky cut. In short, it's the effortless cool girl hair we're constantly saving pictures of on Instagram and dying to achieve in real life.
How to work the French Girl bob
More relaxed than last year's blocky blunt bob worked by everyone from Bella Hadid to Dua Lipa, the French Girl bob brings a messy fringe addition to ear lobe-grazing lengths. A dry, messy texture (that thankfully requires almost no styling) completes the nonchalant look.
Unsurprisingly, it's one of the most Googled haircuts since hairdressers re-opened earlier this month. Also known as the 'supermodel bob', hairstylist duo The Hair Bros are hailing it as the haircut to work in 2020. 'We like to think of this as a statement hair cut... think Winona Ryder, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kaia Gerber. It’s a hair cut that needs to be worn with confidence and is definitely not for the light hearted.'
The best bit? It's seriously low maintenance. 'If a no heat, no set parting, no boundary hair cut sounds like what you are missing this is the cut for you,' they add.
