this style is for
Dislacimer
The person who loves the texture of a wolf cut but wants a softer, more face-framing, and glamorous look than a classic shaggy fringe provides.
Hairstyle Insight
The Bardot fringe, inspired by Brigitte Bardot, is like a fuller, more voluminous version of a curtain bang, designed to be styled with a lot of bounce and a soft center part.
Key Benefits
A unique blend of edgy and romantic.
The cut is full of texture.
The fringe is soft, voluminous, and flattering.
The rich color adds sophistication.
A trendy, yet beautiful, combination.
Common Misconceptions
That all shag bobs are the same.
How to ask your stylist for this style
Ask for a "modern shag bob." For color, request an "'Italian Chocolate Brown'—a 'rich, dark brown base with subtle, warmer lowlights for dimension.'"
Tools:
Choosing Products
A strong-hold pomade or gel with natural waxes; a fine-toothed comb; bobby pins.
Step by step instructions to achieve style at home
Style by enhancing your natural texture.
Scrunch a wave cream into damp hair and let it air-dry.
Use your fingers to fluff the roots for volume.
Caring for your hair
A low-maintenance daily style, but the cut needs trims every 8 weeks.
The color grows out gracefully but a gloss can refresh the tones every 2-3 months.
