How do you a French twist?

1. Prepare Your Hair:

* Start with clean, dry hair.

* Apply a smoothing serum or hairspray to tame flyaways and add hold.

* Part your hair as you prefer. A side part can add a touch of elegance.

2. Gather and Section:

* Gather your hair into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck. Secure it loosely with a hair elastic.

* Divide the ponytail into two sections (top and bottom) using your fingers.

3. Twist and Fold:

* Start with the bottom section: Twist the hair towards your face, rolling it up and into the direction of your head.

* Fold the top section over the rolled-up bottom section.

* Continue twisting and folding the hair upward, incorporating more hair from the ponytail as you go.

4. Secure the Twist:

* Use bobby pins to secure the twist in place. Insert the pins perpendicular to the twist, going through the twist and into the scalp.

* Continue securing the twist as you work your way up, using bobby pins to hold each section in place.

* Tuck any loose ends underneath the twist and secure them with bobby pins.

5. Finishing Touches:

* Spray with hairspray to set the style.

* Add a decorative hair accessory (like a headband or a clip) for an extra touch of style.

Tips:

* For a more voluminous French twist: Backcomb the hair slightly before twisting.

* For a messy, casual look: Leave a few loose strands around the face.

* For a sleek and polished style: Use a hair gel or mousse to smooth down any flyaways.

* Practice makes perfect! It may take a few tries to get the hang of it.

Variations:

* Low French twist: Twist the hair at the nape of the neck.

* High French twist: Twist the hair higher on the head, creating a more dramatic look.

* Side French twist: Twist the hair to the side of the head.

* Braided French twist: Braid the hair before twisting it for a more intricate style.

Remember:

This is a basic guide. You can customize the French twist to suit your preferences and hair type. Don't be afraid to experiment and find what works best for you!
