5 French Girl Hair Looks to Steal in 2025
Effortless Cuts, Undone Textures, and Parisian Cool
Bonjour,
Taking a summer break from New York, I’ve landed in France, where effortless beauty is part of daily life. I’m Romina Manenti, founder of MAY11, and as I wander from the streets of Paris to the shores of the Riviera, I’ve been spotting the timeless hair looks that French women make look so easy.
They’ve mastered the art of coiffé-décoiffé — that perfect balance between polished and undone — turning effortless hair into an attitude.
Here are the five looks I’ve stolen straight from the French — and now sharing with you.
By Romina Manenti
1. The Parisian Bob
Effortless, elegant — and undeniably chic. This jaw-skimming cut frames the face with soft precision, balancing nonchalance and polish. Whether worn sleek or slightly tousled, it’s a look that perfectly captures French-girl cool in 2025.
2. The St-Tropez Top Bun
Relaxed, breezy — and sun kissed. This relaxed top knot sits high, catching the sun and the breeze with natural ease. Slightly undone, yet perfectly intentional, it’s the ultimate go-to for beach days, boat escapes, and Riviera glamour in 2025.
3. The Biarritz Tousle
Carefree, textured — with just the right touch of wild. This wind-swept, voluminous look channels that lived-in, salt-kissed texture you get after a swim or a stroll along the Atlantic coast. The perfect balance of volume and ease for 2025’s seaside escapes.
4. The 70’s Bang
Full, bold and unmistakably retro. A light, airy fringe skims the brows, with longer corners blending into the lengths to softly frame the face. This 70’s-inspired look brings Parisian drama and effortless movement to 2025.
5. The Pret-a-Porter Bow
Polished, feminine — with a playful touch. Hair pulled back and tied with a sleek ribbon adds instant charm while keeping strands in place against the summer sun and sea breeze. A simple, elegant detail that feels unmistakably French.
