For model Mélodie Vaxelaire, it was to accentuate her natural aura with onyx curly, corkscrew-clad drapes. Contrary to the notion that tassels are easy to maintain, the extra shape and definition give Vaxelaire the Gallic wash-and-go ease of her all-time idol, Françoise Hardy. “The bangs make me look like I’ve got my hair styled,” she explained, adding that she’s in her growth phase and only gets her hair cut every two months.
