I Tried the Trendy ‘French Girl Bob’ Cut...and Hated It

For most of my life, my hair was a key part of my identity. Typically, it is long, golden, and wavy, but last summer, I had the sudden urge to chop it all off. The “French girl” bob had taken the beauty world by storm, with celebrities like Gigi Hadid and Hailey Bieber trying the trend. They made it look amazing.

Soon, I felt those blunt lines and tousled elegance calling out to me. The question of “to bob, or not to bob?” floated through my mind like the cigarette smoke billowing outside of a Paris cafe. But could I take on a hairstyle that comes with its own undeniable vibe? Could I pull off the nonchalant, très chic Persian cool-girl aesthetic?
