As searches for French haircuts soar, these are the 3 chicest styles to ask your hairdresser for

With the second season of Netflix's hit Emily in Paris drawing to a close and Summer beckoning new low maintenance hairstyles, French haircuts are trending - again. Pinterest, the fashion and lifestyle platform that's used to 'pin' and save inspirational images, has reported a whopping 65% increase in searches for French hairstyles.

So why do we Brits have a quiet obsession with looking Parisian? The simple answer is that French women nail classic impeccably. And while they carry an air of effortlessness, I can assure you those who do it best such as @voilette_fr, French Vogue's Emanuelle Alt and queen of French cool Caroline de Maigret may appear nonchalant, their grooming routines are anything but effort free.

Yes, well groomed Parisians go for simple haircuts. But they do so with high quality hair that is regularly conditioned with masks, at least once a week. They visit the salon regularly, where they tend to their ends and invest in deep conditioning hair treatments to infuse their locks with the nutrients needed for adequate swish.

So what are we enamoured with now? In the past year, Pinterest noted a 40% increase in ‘French braid hairstyles, a 50% rise in the French bob and a 55% surge in French crop hair men. Yes, even men want a taste of the French life.

Take a look at our three Parisian picks for your hair this summer, suitable for all ages.
