Heck, they even have their own namesake haircut: the French bob.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> A French bob hits right under the ears and above your chin (i.e. cheekbone-length). The style may have originated with French actresses in the 1920s, who wore their hair in a cropped bob, sometimes with a beret. Often worn with bangs, the cut is usually blunt at the ends.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Short and flirty, this version of the already sought-after style is modern and cool, notes hairstyle pro Garren. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been pushing it recently to clients who want to be freed of hair that has grown out,&#8221; he says. To learn more about the French bob, we tapped Garren and IGK co-founder Aaron Grenia to get their best styling tips, plus rounded up our favorite iterations of the classic cut.\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-callout--meetourexpert beauty-sc-block-callout mntl-sc-block-callout mntl-block theme-meetourexpert\" data-tracking-id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout\" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-heading_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-heading mntl-text-block\">Meet the Experts<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-body_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-body mntl-text-block\">\n<ul>\n<li>Garren is a celebrity hairstylist who has worked with Farrah Fawcett, Karlie Kloss, and Victoria Beckham.

You can wear it sleek and polished or playfully tousled. &#8220;The style gives your hair that just-out-of-bed but still chic look, that never looks like you tried hard,&#8221; Grenia says. If you want a slicked-back look, he recommends passing gel throughout your strands. &#8220;You can also use some texturizing spray to enhance your natural waves,&#8221; he adds.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_11-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> For daily styling, Garren says less is more\u2014 a styling serum will do if you seek a smooth finish. &#8220;Comb through wet hair and let it air dry. A combination of mousse and texturizing products will give your French bob lift and bounce.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_3-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_3-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">03<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 14<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_3-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Flipped to the Side <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image--full-width figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" alt=\"Kat Graham with a flipped French bob, shimmery pink eyeshadow, and glossy pink lipstick\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_3-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/G1PvqEe_HexBpsGtcrCGg8oc24g=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/GettyImages-1387202041-b9f5afb5ce564a7b801c115a9a99324b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/G1PvqEe_HexBpsGtcrCGg8oc24g=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/GettyImages-1387202041-b9f5afb5ce564a7b801c115a9a99324b.jpg\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Kat Graham with a flipped French bob, shimmery pink eyeshadow, and glossy pink lipstick\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Momodu Mansaray \/ Getty Images<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> With its off-center parting, Kat Graham&#8217;s French bob gets an instant boost of volume.

Heck, they even have their own namesake haircut: the French bob.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> A French bob hits right under the ears and above your chin (i.e. cheekbone-length). The style may have originated with French actresses in the 1920s, who wore their hair in a cropped bob, sometimes with a beret. Often worn with bangs, the cut is usually blunt at the ends.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Short and flirty, this version of the already sought-after style is modern and cool, notes hairstyle pro Garren. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been pushing it recently to clients who want to be freed of hair that has grown out,&#8221; he says. To learn more about the French bob, we tapped Garren and IGK co-founder Aaron Grenia to get their best styling tips, plus rounded up our favorite iterations of the classic cut.\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-callout--meetourexpert beauty-sc-block-callout mntl-sc-block-callout mntl-block theme-meetourexpert\" data-tracking-id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout\" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-heading_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-heading mntl-text-block\">Meet the Experts<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-body_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-body mntl-text-block\">\n<ul>\n<li>Garren is a celebrity hairstylist who has worked with Farrah Fawcett, Karlie Kloss, and Victoria Beckham.

You can wear it sleek and polished or playfully tousled. &#8220;The style gives your hair that just-out-of-bed but still chic look, that never looks like you tried hard,&#8221; Grenia says. If you want a slicked-back look, he recommends passing gel throughout your strands. &#8220;You can also use some texturizing spray to enhance your natural waves,&#8221; he adds.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_11-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> For daily styling, Garren says less is more\u2014 a styling serum will do if you seek a smooth finish. &#8220;Comb through wet hair and let it air dry.

Heck, they even have their own namesake haircut: the French bob.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> A French bob hits right under the ears and above your chin (i.e. cheekbone-length). The style may have originated with French actresses in the 1920s, who wore their hair in a cropped bob, sometimes with a beret. Often worn with bangs, the cut is usually blunt at the ends.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Short and flirty, this version of the already sought-after style is modern and cool, notes hairstyle pro Garren. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been pushing it recently to clients who want to be freed of hair that has grown out,&#8221; he says.

You can wear it sleek and polished or playfully tousled. &#8220;The style gives your hair that just-out-of-bed but still chic look, that never looks like you tried hard,&#8221; Grenia says. If you want a slicked-back look, he recommends passing gel throughout your strands. &#8220;You can also use some texturizing spray to enhance your natural waves,&#8221; he adds.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_11-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> For daily styling, Garren says less is more\u2014 a styling serum will do if you seek a smooth finish. &#8220;Comb through wet hair and let it air dry.
