I thought the same thing, although I don't know anything about hairstyles so I looked up pictures of old French styles. The closest I found was this website, and I wouldn't be surprised if whoever did the designs for the movie googled old haircuts and saw that. Another short article on "The Titus Cut" shows a portrait that's somewhat like the dame in the movie, Madame Arnault de Gorse.
No I'm not arguing that it's period accurate or anything, just something interesting. In fact most of the pictures you find of "The Titus Cut" still portray the women with curly hair.
It's been a long time since I've researched the French Revolution, but I recall the Titus Cut being a very short fad and not styled the same way, and usually with the hair worn "up" to make it look shorter than it actually was. Thanks for bringing that up though I had forgotten about it.
