5 Hair Trends I Keep Spotting in Stylish Cities

1. Fringe Fever in Paris

First up is Paris. We all know that French women just exude chicness, especially when it comes to their hair, and this summer it seems that wispy fringes are very much in. Yep, I've spotted this style all over the streets of Paris, and it's safe to say that I'm obsessed. Forget curtain bangs or block fringes, as this season it's all about this more ethereal style.

The trick to this trend is opting for a classic fringe shape but allowing your forehead to poke through to give it a softer and more subtle appearance. Ask your hairdresser to give your fringe a feathered finish in order to get the look.

Yes, this summer it's all about that glossy, high-shine finish, as showcased by some of the most stylish people in L.A..
