FRENCH FRINGE: THE RETRO HAIRSTYLE MAKING A MODERN COMEBACK WITH SYDNEY SWEENY, KRISTEN STEWART AND SABRINA CARPENTER

Do you fancy doing something with your hair but don’t want to cut it drastically? A fringe might be just the thing for you, especially one in the '60s style that has taken the red carpets by storm.

Retromania is in full swing. In fashion, we're going back to the 2000s, which until recently were synonymous with kitsch and embarrassment. Cargo pants, crop tops, and wide trousers with inscriptions are back. And what about beauty? In this case, we’re going back over 60 years, as French fringes are the biggest hit this year.

It’s worth remembering Brigitte Bardot’s iconic hairstyle. In the '60s, every woman wanted to look like her. Bardot favoured the "beehive" style, with heavily teased hair and the characteristic, eye-skimming, flipped fringe that softened the look slightly. It turns out that hairstyles in this style are making a comeback.

The French fringe is a summer hit

Unlike the classic fringe, the French version is much thinner and longer. Strands fall freely over the face, creating a characteristic frame. Although it may not be very convenient day-to-day, this cut offers huge styling potential.

You can flip, curl, or roll it on curlers to achieve the desired volume. The French fringe softens and elongates facial features thanks to the hair falling on both sides.

How to style curtain bangs?

This type of fringe even has its name. Abroad, it is referred to as "curtain bangs." How to style it? It all depends on your individual preferences.

If you are a fan of the "messy look," like Kristen Stewart, apply a small amount of mousse to your washed hair and dry it with a hairdryer. While drying, use a round brush to flip the ends outward gently. Finally, you can spray them with sea salt. This will give you gentle waves.

Are you dreaming of a hairstyle straight from the '60s? It’s very simple. Dampen your fringe, wrap it around a round brush, and then turn on the hairdryer. While drying, flip the brush inward, rotating it slightly. This way, you’ll get a perfectly round fringe like Sabrina Carpenter.

Don't have that much time? Brush it and let it dry, then divide the strands into two parts and gently "fluff" them over your face with your fingers. As you can see, this type of fringe offers many styling opportunities.
