The French Girl Bob Hairstyle

Lots of texture and oh so chic, this chin-length cut is fire!

What is the French Bob Haircut?

While a classic bob hairstyle can fall anywhere from below the chin to the shoulder, the French Bob hugs the jawline at chin length and should be styled with an effortless looking, born this way this finish. It can be worn super smooth or styled with relaxed waves, and is usually paired with bangs, whether super short micro fringe, curtain bangs, or full, blunt bangs. The French Bob is a great style for any time of year, but women love it as a casual, deconstructed summer look and as one that will easily transition into fall and winter. 

Who can wear a French Bob?

Those with straight, wavy and curly hair can pull off a French Bob. It's all about adding texture and creating lived-in volume, and looks fantastic with bangs perfectly crafted to flatter your features. A shorter bob can be transformative for those with fine hair or hair that doesn't hold a style well, as the chin length and texturizing adds new life to the style. Subtle layering of the cut takes away any heavy bluntness while still keeping that strong perimeter. It has a way of softening facial features and brightening up your eyes, and making you look younger in the process. If you're thinking about going short and chic, ask a 605 Styling Co stylist whether this style would work with your face shape and hair type.
