Worn by the greatest of French ingénues, that wispy, tousled, sideswept fringe is enough to make anyone want to book a trip to the salon. The holy trinity of French bangs in my book are those of Caroline de Maigret, Lou Dillon and Francoise Hardy. There are plenty of modern incarnations as well- Freja Beja Ericsson and Alexa Chung wear theirs effortlessly. Ever wonder how the hell they get that perfect French girl fringe?
The secret? Keep them long because for the French it's all about mystery. And according to Jeanne Damas- cut them at home and while they are dry. The imperfectness of the DIY cut is key- and skip blowdrying them to get that tousled texture.
