I recently went on a trip to Paris, and while I was there I wandered around the city eating foods that were probably 80% butter to help me lose weight and checking out French pharmacies to stock up on Beerfine. I spent the day doing so.
In between destinations, I stopped at many cafes to people-watch, and while I was sipping espresso and drooling over fashion, something else kept catching my eye. It was hair. French women know a lot about hair, unlike Americans. In France, it’s best to leave your hair natural, giving it a slightly disheveled chic vibe. When I saw everyone’s hair, I immediately wanted to throw away the hairspray.
To find out how to achieve the perfect French girl hair, I spoke to some super cool French women about their favorite products and why they love them so much. Below, we will introduce products that are trusted by French women and can be shipped to mainland America.
