How To Get French Girl Hair
Arguably, they do do it better.
After recently visiting the #1 French hair salon from Paris, I needed to bring more beautiful French products into my everyday life at home.
Some may argue the French are beauty pioneers that carry a certain jour ne sais quoi, while others may see them as normcore. Whatever side you fall on, you can’t argue that the French and their beauty routines feel tried and trusted while eluding a particular mysteriousness.
One thing I cannot look past is the way the French manage simple beauty; that perfectly undone, done look.
French beauty is all about simplicity and dual-purposes. Take for example hair perfume that doubles as a detangler and a hair masque that works either as an express treatment or an intense overnight treatment.
Less is more they say, which is a concept a lot of us struggle with, but with a little shopping around for quality products, you’ll have a little slice of French heaven on your beauty shelves.
So, without future adieu, below are a selection of my favourite French products and brands so you too can say bonjour to French girl chic.
Restructuring Nourishing Balm
Sisley
Price: $160.00
This highly lipid-replenishing pre-shampoo balm intensely cares for your damaged and dehydrated locks. The Nourishing Balm consists of a nourishing complex of natural oils that work on three levels to treat, regenerate and enhance your hair fibres.
The balm can be used in two ways:
- 30MIN EXPRESS TREATMENT
As a 30min express treatment before you wash your hair, leaving you with nourished, softer, silkier, frizz tamed hair.

Apply the balm before bed and rinse out before washing your hair normally the following morning. The texture of your hair will immediately and visibly be transformed for nourished and repaired locks.
