Questions & Answers about Je ne veux plus de cheveux bouclés.

Why is it de cheveux and not des cheveux?

In French, the plural article des changes to de after a negative expression like ne ... pas or ne ... plus. Even though cheveux is plural, the negation makes it de.

How does ne ... plus work here?

ne ... plus is a negative structure that means 'no longer' or 'not anymore'. It wraps around the conjugated verb (veux) exactly the same way ne ... pas does.

Why is cheveux plural when the English translation says 'hair'?

In English, 'hair' is usually treated as a singular, uncountable thing. In French, when talking about the hair on your head, you use the plural word les cheveux.

Why does bouclés have an 's' at the end?

bouclés is an adjective meaning 'curly'. In French, adjectives must match the noun they describe. Since cheveux is masculine and plural, bouclés needs an 's' to match.
