Lianne's Easy French Twist
Creating the classic French twist doesn't have to tie you up in knots. Step 2 is the simple secret to success.
- Tease the hair at the crown of the head with a small brush.
- Smooth hair over the top of the head with a brush and hold hair in loose ponytail, then brush to one side of the back of your head. Secure the hair in this position by placing bobby pins up the center.
"This is where you get into trouble with a French twist," says Joelle, senior stylist at Avon Salon & Spa. "You have to secure the hair on the side before you twist over it."
- Brush the remaining hair down toward the direction of the nape of your neck. Twist it and secure it over the existing pins, with long hairpins. There are three key hairpin positions: Place one in the top going down, place one in the bottom going up the middle and place one at an angle going up through the side. Use small bobby pins to secure the twist and smooth any ruffled areas.
- Gently pull out some of the soft, shorter hairs around your face. "You only want a few hairs to soften your face," says Joelle. Spread out the hair on top of the twist. Spray with hairspray.
- Lianne pulled off this beautiful hairstyle in fewer than 20 minutes!
