Im shamelessly invested in theFrench beautyaesthetic.

The Parisians have mastered the art of appearing sophisticated with little effort.
French glam has always been clean and elegant, beauty professionalDani Parkestells me.
They use minimal products and still look put together.

But a new French girl-approved beauty trend emerged during the height ofParis Couture Week.
Updos of the easiest, most laid-back variety made their way onto every hair punch in and length.
There are messy chignons with curtain bangs that are simply yet impactfully sexy.

Consider a braided chignon with a side part to elevate any hairstyleand keep cool.
Given the heat, having an off-the-neck,quick hairstyleis a practical decision.
But these French girl updos also permit an infusion of personal style.

Low-hanging chignons were embellished with floral appliques.
Pearls made their way onto barrettes, adorning half-up hairstyles.
Heavy-set bangs complemented Arianna Grande-esque ponytails.

Saldiran, along with hairstylist Olivia Thompson, are sharing everything you’re gonna wanna know.
“My go-to product for a sleek bun is the Got2b gel and hairspray,” says Saldiran.
“Use small rubber bands for a super easy look.”

This style works well withbang hairstyles, too.
Just add some volumizing hairspray to your fringe, and sweep the rest of your hair into a chignon.
Easily my personal favorite updo inspiration to come out of Paris is this heavily accessorized ballerina bun.

Halfway There
Lift your face with a snatched ponytail above the ears.
I recommend using a pomade stick and boar bristle brush to bring this look to life.
Enter: thehalf-up, half-down hairstyle.

Slick back all the hair that falls above the ear, and secure it into a bun or ponytail.
Some hair gel and a ponytail are really all you should probably recreate this Parisian hairstyle.
It works with any hair jot down or lengthand is easy to personalize.

Add in little bows, barrettes, headbands, or ribbons.
All About Edges
Don’t feel like you need stick to a center part.
Use a rat tail comb to create a custom design atop your head.

A zig-zag part and swirled edges make a stylish combinationjust look at the above street style photo.
You’ll want some heavy duty hair gel and boar bristle brush to execute this look.
But after you snag your tools at the ready, it’s incredibly easy to pull together.

But would I do it again?
The late pope spared no expense when it came to treating the infant prince in 2014.
Skip the shampoos, glosses, and treatments.
