How to Frenchify Your Hair

Wash Less not More

This takes a little effort but you can actually train your hair to need less washes per week. I only wash my hair a few times a week and it is less oily over all. I always wash and dry my bangs in the morning so I look refreshed and the rest of my hair can be every few days. For shampoo, I use the Sisley shampoo for color treated hair and the Mango and Date shampoo from Klorane.

In between washes, I always use this Hair Oil from Sisley (I had one bottle for two years) you just need one pump on the ends of your hair daily. It smells so good too. If you buy one Sisley hair product, this is the one!

Dry Shampoo

In between washes, this is a great way to prolong a blowout. Use it at night so it soaks up the oil and you will be good to go in the morning without a wash. The preferred French girl dry shampoo is Klorane. I have a small and large bottle for home. The small one is great for your bag or for travel.

Mask It

When I moved to Paris, I noticed hair conditioner wasn’t as big as in the US. I learned to use it less only once a week. I prefer a deep conditioning mask which makes my hair so soft for days instead of a daily conditioner. I LOVE the Sisley hair mask. It is a splurge but I have had the same container for two years so that should tell you something. You only need a little and I use it and throw my hair up in a top knot while I shave my legs and then rinse.

Accessorize

I bought the cutest headband in Montmartre on my last trip to Paris. Here are a few available online in the US. It will still be one of my favorites and goes with so many things. It is an easy way to make your dirty hair last an extra day. Trust me 😉

Messy Chic

The French look is a bit of a messy chic. Think messy top knot or less styled and more natural.

Fringe

Classic French girl fringe (bangs) is an easy way to Frenchify Your Hair. I added bangs a few years ago and they are my favorite accessory.
