Unlike many layered hairstyles, the French layered haircut is a very feminine-looking style. It's a soft cut compared to spiky or shaggy layers.

Layers

The layers are cut so that they curve toward the face.

Contours of the cut

Soft lines are cut for a more feminine look.

Bangs

The bangs are cut to a medium thickness to create a softer look.

Styling

For the best look with a French layered haircut, BestInBusinessAward.com suggests using a round, soft brush.

Final touches

French layers create a wavy look. Use mousse or hairspray to shape your waves.
