It’s no secret that morning work fees always take a lot of time. You need to take a shower, do the minimum routine, make-up, and, of course, create a hairstyle. Moreover, the last point of time often does not remain, so you just have to put your hair in the tail. If you also thought about how to find a haircut that does not require styling, then one of the most successful options in this case will be a French-style haircut. She has long been among the main fashion trends of hairdressing and is gaining more and more admirers.
Features
French haircut technology came about 40 years ago. Since then, interest in her has not faded, because every woman wants to bring Parisian charm, femininity and elegance to her image.
The versatility of haircuts in this style lies in the fact that they are suitable for everyday life, and for business meetings, and for special occasions. With a successful performance, the hair does not just get a stylish shape, but also looks well-groomed for a long time.
One of the most important techniques that hairdressers use to create the perfect French haircut is the well-known thinning. This method of clipping visually facilitates the hairstyle, which is especially important for very thick, heavy hair, which often do not keep their shape under their weight. Another distinctive feature of the French haircut is its long bangs of various shapes and configurations, but in any case it looks airy and really decorates the face.An experienced master will help you choose the most suitable bangs for your type of face, and also take into account how comfortable it will be for you to wear it in everyday life.
You can create such a masterpiece on your hair thanks to a special “strand to strand” haircut technique, which is based on sequentially trimming individual strands located at one or another level. Hair always looks more raised, voluminous, and it seems that this daily beauty is behind your daily care and styling work. It is difficult to believe that in fact all the work is done by the master in one visit, and you just have to enjoy the result. We will tell in more detail what is the secret of the popularity of French haircuts.
Some believe that this type of haircut has only ultra-short options. In fact, this technology is so versatile that it has found application in creating masterpieces on hair of almost any length. Of course, there are not so many options for long hair in the arsenal of hairdressers. But lovers of short haircuts have plenty to choose from.
Advantages and disadvantages
Popular haircuts in this style are not in vain successful not only in France, but also far beyond its borders. Their advantages are obvious, and the disadvantages relate only to specific cases related to the nuances of appearance.
Pros.
- If you think your hair is too heavy and would like to fill it with lightness, the “French” will cope with this task - filing will add “air”. If they are too thin, then the pomp of the crown will make them visually thicker.
- Styling in the style of a la France helps to mask cons and focus on the merits of the face. With the help of chaotically lying strands and additional splendor, you can visually make your look more expressive or adjust your nose too long.
- Most often, a bang is decorated in this style, and she, in turn, gives the image of any woman youth and charm.
Minuses.
- According to stylists, women with a massive neck or wide cheekbones should refuse hairstyles in the "French" style.
- With too thin and sparse hair, strong thinning is not recommended, as this can lead to their weakening.
Kinds
Owners of hair of almost any length can wear a French haircut. Of course, the technique of execution will have differences in one form or another, but the essence of the technique will continue.
Short
To begin, consider the features of short hairstyles in the French style. This is a great option for both young girls and business women who do not have extra time for long care for curls. Its obvious plus is that it remains in great shape after hair regrowth even after months.
If you want to distract attention from small imperfections in your face and you like to wear short stylish hairstyles, then this option is for you. Thanks to chaotically lying strands of various lengths, a too round face or, conversely, a thin one will acquire softer outlines.
In general, such hairstyles make the eyes larger and more expressive, and the size of the nose, on the contrary, is adjusted downward.
When they are created, the occipital region is usually milled, and the facial strands lie, as it were, scattered. The hair that is cut by the master to the maximum in the ear area makes the crown visually even taller. The contour of the haircut, with all its creativity, looks very neat, which is why the daily care for it is so simplified.
Even model haircuts get a new “sound" in French processing. The square in the French style does not become so smooth and heavy, but more airy. Gavrosh takes on even more bold outlines, while making the image of a girl softer if she herself is fragile and sophisticated. Garcon fully focuses on the face, especially on the eyes, adding mystery to him, the bean turns out to be more universal and can be applied to most forms of the face.
French pluck is the most creative of all the options; it enables the master to experiment with the hair as much as possible.
Medium
Semi-long hair will also benefit from a new style hairstyle. French technology will allow you not to waste extra time on their installation. They can be worn loose, while the hairstyle will maintain a well-groomed appearance as after a hairdresser.
Usually they include bangs. Even in such a "strand" version, it softens facial features and makes it more cute.
The emphasis is on two points - on the back of the head and the crown of the head, where volumes are formed. At the same time, the rest of the curls effectively frame the face along the entire contour. The advantage of such hairstyles is that, unlike similar short models, the neck does not open slightly, which means that they are suitable not only for young girls. It is best to do an à la française haircut on straight hair of any density. If your curls curl, then with it, if you work correctly, you can create a masterpiece - most importantly, find an experienced master.
As for color solutions, stylists advise using natural shades with this technology of haircuts, possibly with elements of colorings of different types.
Long
The French version will be a salvation for women who do not really want to part with their chic hair, but at the same time want to give them a more creative and fashionable shape. Without any styling, strands frame the face, and the slightly curling ends of the hair very nicely lie on the shoulders. At the same time, the crown - voluminous and airy, becomes the accent of this fashionable hairstyle.
Execution technology
To master the technique of French haircuts is not difficult. Consider clipping technology for the popular Garcon hairstyle. To do this, proceed in stages according to the scheme.
- To begin with, washed and dried hair should be divided into partings to distinguish the back of the head, whiskey and crown. Divide the first area into nine parts, parting up and down.
- Start the haircut in the lowest square of the head. The first strand should be at a distance of about 1 cm from the hairline on the neck, take it and cut it to the desired length.
- Now separate the individual strands with transverse parting at a distance of about half a centimeter and pull, and then milled to a height of not more than 1 cm. The same actions are carried out on all the squares of the head.
- When thinning in the square of the middle occipital region, the height should increase by 1 cm relative to the bottom, and in the upper occipital region by another 1 cm.
- At the temples you need to do half a cross parting. Proceed to clipping the temples on the right. Comb the strands of the top of the temple in the direction of the face and mill, based on the size of the back of the head, then mill the lower squares. Repeat with the hair on the left side.
- Cut frontal hair in the crown area, laying a lock on a lock, from the crown to the forehead.
- At the end of the haircut, the area of the temples, bangs and neck is framed. At the same time, the bangs can go both to the eyebrows and to the nose.
Stacking
As already mentioned, the French haircut does not cause problems in everyday care. Let's talk about what tools and devices are needed for hair care.
- Foam or gel. One of the means of choice is extruded onto the fingers and distributed along the length of the strands. After that, the hair is slightly shaken by the fingers.
- Lacquer. Divide the hair into two parts, so that one part is smaller, the other is larger, and comb the first one forward and the second back. Then spray the hairstyle with varnish.
- Hairbrush. In addition to the usual hair comb, brushing is useful for you. Separating the strands on the top of the head, pull them off and wrap them around it, directing the curl inward, then blow dry with a hairdryer.
Beautiful examples
French hairstyle can be not only stylish and bold. If you already trim the beautifully trimmed strands neatly, you can create a romantic look.

Haircuts in the style of France are traditionally performed on natural shades of hair, but everywhere there are exceptions. In this example, lilac tones repeat the color of the makeup and create a truly bright and sophisticated look.
So, a French-style haircut allows a woman to look stylish, even if she does not have the opportunity to constantly visit a hairdresser. The strands trimmed one on top of another hold their shape for a long time and even look raised and voluminous over time. This is a very important point for both lovers of playful, youthful, creative styling with gel, and for business ladies who are always on the move and appreciate the practicality of their hairstyle and its ability to keep fit all day. Such hairstyles can be just a godsend for creative people who appreciate extraordinary and the ability to prove oneself through external accents. Due to the color diversity, the “French” can make friends with both the natural gamut and with bright color combinations.
Even the usual women's hairstyles like a square, garzon or bean are changed beyond recognition with the help of thinning and special methods of cutting. If you would like to refresh your usual look, adding style and mischief to it, feel free to experiment.
