Think of a classically French hairstyle—a twisted chignon, a tousled shag, a Bardot bang French bob
It’s no secret that hair accessories are quickly becoming the token of cool-girl style (they were situated all over Copenhagen Fashion Week
These styles beautifully complement the brand’s S/S 25 collection (which is heavily embellished and embroidered), but they’re also a fabulous choice for this fall. “They mirror the refinement of autumn fashion, adding an elegant, understated flair to layered outfits,” Curtis adds. Consider it a graduation from the hair bow trend
“Expect pearls and bejeweled clips subtly woven into styles—delicate but impactful touches that offer a refined, romantic twist,” he shares. To take a page out of the Alice + Olivia playbook, opt for mini dahlias, gold coins, white lace, or a single jumbo scrunchie (butter yellow , cherry red, pale blue, or patterned—up to you) for what Curtis calls a “modern, fluid coquette vibe.”

How to Master Romantic Parisian Hair
Before adorning those accessories, a romantic base (i.e., a braided bun) is key. Curtis first uses Briogeo’s Yuzu + Plum Oil Full Miracle Styling Foam on dry hair to give the strands some texture before drying it with a GHD blow-dryer . (FYI, the foam doubles as a heat protectant!) Pump ample amounts onto your hands and run through the root to the tip,” he shares, as this will create volume and texture. He follows with a wide-barrel curling iron to bend the mid-lengths and ends.
Using his hands, he loosely pulls back the hair to the mid-back of the head, tying it into a ponytail with an elastic. He then grabs a bun ring (also called a bun donut) to create a denser bun, pulling the ponytail through the middle and securing it with pins. “Split the ponytail depending on length and thickness and create a normal Dutch braid through various sections at the back,” he explains. “Wound the braid over the ring, [which] creates texture and a dramatic, voluminous bun.”
For the jumbo scrunchie look, he swaps the Dutch braid for a rope braid, gathering the hair with his hands and wrapping it around the base of the ponytail for an elegant rope chignon.

He tops off the style with Briogeo’s Style & Treat Yuzu + Plum Oil Sleek Stick, running it around the hairline to get rid of any flyaways and clean up any edges. “This gives a refined finish to any look!” he shares. (I personally find it a godsend for my slicked-back styles.) For thicker, curlier strands, he also uses the brand’s Style and Treat Yuzu + Plum Oil Light Work Sculpting Crème to smooth the hair.
The final touch, of course, is the smattering of coquette accessories. “We then dressed the braided bun with flowers, coins, or white lace, giving a romantic Parisian feel,” he says. In short: Tell your hair bow it’s time for an ethereal upgrade.
