Forget Birkin bags – this season we want Birkin Bangs! Jane Birkin was the ultimate ’60s icon and to this day she continues to be a style influencer. The Parisienne model, muse and singer was the face – and hairdo – of a generation. Here’s why we’re still in love with her signature fringe – and why you’ll love it too.
La Brit Attitude
We all know French women have a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ when it comes to effortless style and Jane Birkin is the embodiment of this French flair – particularly in the hairstyle department. A pioneer of the easy chic movement, her effortless fringe set the bar for generations to come. The hallmarks of her fringe? Long but not too lengthy, piecey but not overworked and highlighted while still natural. However, did you know that Jane Birkin is actually an adopted Parisian, originally hailing from the United Kingdom? Looks like it was an English rose that’s responsible for the ultimate French style!

Fringe Benefits
Whether you’re a fan of the fringe or not, there’s no denying that fringes are here to stay. The main gripe people often have with fringes is that they require some ongoing maintenance. (And they can be a pain to grow out!) However, if you do commit to a fringe, the best way to ensure it continually looks fabulous is to be vigilant about keeping your hair healthy, booking in for regular trims and embracing fringe shaping products.
