This haircut inspired by Brigitte Bardot will be the most trendy in 2025 according to a hairdresser (“anti-aging” effect)

Among the most trendy haircuts of the year 2025, we find fairly layered models capable of bringing texture and movement to the hair. Inspired by the shag and mullet cuts of previous seasons, these hairstyles display slightly more glamorous lines and are often combined with long, tapered bangs.

This is the case of the French Bombshell haircutwhich is one of the most popular hairstyles at the start of the year. Inspired by Brigitte Bardot’s iconic look, this haircut is ideal for adding texture and movement to the hair, but also for softening the oval of the face. Discover a hairdresser’s tips for adopting this trendy look in 2025.

French Bombshell: the trendiest hairstyle of the year 2025, ideal for rejuvenating the face and giving volume to the hair

Interviewed by the media New Beauty, hairstylist Kennedy Trisler considers the French Bombshell cut to be one of the key trends of the year 2025. This shag cut to which Bardot bangs would have been added is ideal for adding texture and movement to hair. Fairly layered on the covering strands and in the mass, it brings lightness to the lengths. The long bangs add a very pretty frame to the look and highlight the line of the cheekbones.

According to the expert, this hairstyle is particularly suitable for wavy and curly hairwhich can be dried in the open air or in a very natural way with a diffuser. By bringing lightness and movement to the hair, the French Bombshell is ideal for enhancing thick hair. If you have finer hair, ask your hairdresser to layer only the framing strands and work the rest of the layer very subtly. Another advantage of this haircut: its ability to make hair appear longer than it really is: “shorter strands on top let the longer layers on the bottom show through and make the hair appear longer than it is” points out the hairdresser.

How to wear the French Bombshell haircut, the trendy layered haircut of the year 2025

As hairstylist Jayne (@jayne_edosalon) shows in a video posted to her TikTok account, the French Bombshell haircut is quite easy to live with and style. To highlight the gradient work and the curtain bangs, the hairstylist recommends creating a fairly fuzzy attachment, leaving a few strands loose at the front of the face. This can be a ponytail or a bun. Although tied up, the hair continues to fit the oval of the face and emphasize the look.

The French Bombshell haircut looks even better on wavy, curly or lightly textured material. A shaping that accentuates the work of the gradient and which brings an additional touch of glamor to the look. To achieve this “creased” effect, you can use a texturizing product, such as a wax or leave-in spray. Do not hesitate to accentuate the volume at the roots using a dry shampoo.
