Oh La La: Why You Need To Try A French-Girl Fringe

Suitable for all ages, universally flattering and easy to style – what’s not to love? Our team of talented stylists at HUSH Hair Salon in Birmingham are ready and waiting to create your brand new French-inspired look for Autumn/Winter 2018. Call us on 0121 634 3232 to book your appointment. 

Will a French-Girl Fringe Suit Me?

Fringes are usually a softening feature so they suit most people. The only situation where they don’t is where the area of the forehead to the hair line is not very high and a fringe could have the effect of closing in the face too much. But even then, in some cases, this can be resolved by making the fringe wider. Check out our quick guide on what fringe suits your face shape below…

Long and narrow faces: This look should work well on you, as fringes that hit just below the brows will make your face look fuller.
 
Round or square faces: Fringes can make circular faces appear even wider, so finding the right shape is key. Ask for a graphic, curved style that will flatter bone structure. The thicker the better, as wispy versions will have less impact.
 
Heart-shaped faces: Jackpot! You’re the lucky ones and can get away with pretty much everything. But if you want something definitive, the ideal style is layered and feathered – perfect for the French-Girl look.

Your French-Girl Fringe Consultation at Our Top Birmingham Salon

When describing this cut, bring a picture or screenshot along to your appointment at our Birmingham hair salon, so you and your HUSH stylist can be on the same page – after all, one person’s ‘long’ is another person’s ‘shaggy’ is another person’s ‘sexy.’ 

Bear in mind, though, that during your complimentary consultation at HUSH, your stylist will access your face shape and hair type to ensure that a ‘French girl fringe’ is for you.

How To Style Your New French-Girl Fringe

Once you have your very own French-girl fringe, it’s time to style it. While French women tend to be pretty low maintenance when it comes to their hair, sometimes fringes need a little extra work.

If you want to wear your fringe wavy, there’s not much you have to do. First, shampoo and condition with a quality Shampoo and Conditioner (your HUSH stylist will recommend the best products for your individual hair type). Then, gently towel-dry your hair and spritz it with a finishing spray. Let your hair air dry to create those beachy waves that look effortlessly chic.
 
Want to wear your French-girl Fringe smooth and sleek? Start in the shower by using a Keratin infused Shampoo and Conditioner. After you’re done showering, apply a smoothing hair cream that also offers heat protection. Blow-dry your hair -and your fringe, with a round brush to create movement. To up the volume on your fringe use a roller. Finish with a quick spritz of hairspray and you’re good to go.

Top Tips For Looking After Your French-Girl Fringe

Get Regular Trims at HUSH: To create that effortless French vibe, your HUSH stylist will leave the ends of your new fringe feathery as opposed to blunt. With any kind of Fringe, you’re looking at regular trims at our Birmingham salon in order to keep their shape, so keep that in mind.
 
Stock Up On Dry Shampoo: There’s no doubt that you’ll be touching and playing with your fringe a lot, especially at the beginning, which will just produce some extra oiliness.

I had a great experience with Victoria! She helped me pick my haircut as to what would suit my face shape, and she executed it perfectly! I’d say hands down it’s the best haircut I’ve had. I’d highly recommend Victoria, she listens to what you want and offers really helpful suggestions. I will definitely be coming back to book in with Victoria again!

Isobel Kate

Victoria cut and styled my hair beautifully and took the time to make sure she understood exactly what I wanted. She gave me excellent advice on what would work best for my hair type and face shape, and the end result was even better than I imagined. I’ve genuinely never been so happy with a haircut! When Victoria told me she’d only been fully qualified for a couple of months, I couldn’t believe it – her skill, confidence, and attention to detail were outstanding. I would definitely recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a talented stylist. I’ll certainly be staying loyal to Hush – finding a great hairdresser since moving to Birmingham has been made so easy. Thank you, Victoria!

I had been putting off getting my hair cut for months because of a bad butterfly cut experience. I was nervous, picky and honestly scared of getting it wrong again. But Mae completely changed that. I had my appointment today at 10am. From the moment I sat in her chair, she listened. Really listened. I explained what I wanted — extra long layers, soft U-shape, face-framing at the collarbone, no curtain bangs, keeping my length and density — and she understood every single detail without me even needing to show reference photos. She just got it. She checked with me before making any cuts, showing me exactly where the layers would fall. My hair is not very dense and I wear it in a braid most days. Mae made sure nothing was too short or choppy. She blended everything so beautifully — my hair finally feels connected and flowing again. The butterfly cut damage? Completely fixed. For anyone with very long hair who is scared to cut : Mae didn't just keep my length for the sake of it. She cut what was needed — a few inches of dead, damaged ends — to make my hair actually look good. Keeping length that is unhealthy doesn't help anyone. She found the perfect balance: still long, but healthy and shaped. That is the mark of a true professional. I also got the Fusio Dose treatment, and my hair feels healthier than it has in years. Yes, I spent more than I planned, but for a corrective cut this precise, it was absolutely worth it. Mae is experienced, patient and genuinely cares about getting it right. If you're nervous like I was, go to Mae. She'll take care of you. Thank you, Mae — I finally love my hair again.
