Jane Birkin’s effortlessly chic, French girl fringe is undoubtedly one of the most referenced hairstyles at Hershesons in recent years. More affectionately known as “Birkin bangs”, there are few people who see photos of Birkin in her earlier years and don’t want that mussed-up fringe, which sat rather simply in her mid-length hair. 

Inspired by the effortless style of the 1970s, Birkin bangs have a bohemian, slightly undone charm — their appeal lies in their subtle imperfections. Flattering on most face shapes, particularly longer ones, they deliver a soft, lived-in look that casually frames one's eyes. No styling required — try our Air Dry Spray and Almost Everything Cream to achieve a similar finish.

Here, some of our favourite Birkin bangs to inspire you now.
