When it comes to French-girl hair, the philosophy remains consistent: The less you do, the better. French girls have a knack at making their hair work around their lifestyle (another day

We tapped French celebrity hairstylists Rudy Martins in NYC and Parisian-based hairstylist Stéphanie Bodin to get the full rundown on what types of hair cuts we should be asking our stylists for if we want to achieve that nonchalant French-girl hair.
