Only those words imply a laissez-faire approach to hair for only a select few.
It’s impossible to define a person or a culture by Americanized stereotypes.
Below, find a more true-to-life story of the eponymous French girl.

It’s a fact.
Even when you look at French makeup brands, they took years and years to diversify their products.
Not everyone has silky brown hair or wantsred lipstick.

There is so much diversity in Francethere isn’t just one kind of beauty.
Women in France do like to take of their skin and don’t wear much makeup during the day.
Some of it does apply.

“See, the trick in looking effortless is you actually put in a lot of effort.
Even doing a no-makeup makeup look is kind of hard.
We use a lot of products; we just want it to look natural.
An effortless and chic look.
We combat it by showing the diversity of Paris and France.
And the ‘French-girl’ image is usually the Parisian-girl image.
There are French girls who have different origins, live in different cities, the country, the suburbs.
“I have aweave, taking care of my natural hair is so much work.
I use lots of oils and hair lotions every day.
I usually like my hair straight, but not too straight.
I love coconut oilit’s natural and helps your hair grow.”
She’s also skinny and white.
Obviously not all French women are white.
This reduces us to only one jot down of woman.
I think it began with all the cliches you see on TV and in the media in general.
It’s like there was no room for the other key in of French beauty.
People kept the image they saw of France from from the ’30s, I guess.
Sorry, but I can’t fit my curls under a beret.
“A beauty routine really depends on the person.
“I start by combing out my hair, then use a clarifying shampoo and my Aveda conditioner.
Then I mask for 30 minutes.
Right now I’m using Shea Moisture.
“I wash my face every morning and every night.
It’s crazy; it’s really helped my skin.”
