How To Do Hair - Simple French Twist

by Jessica A

Would you like to know how to style your hair or your daughter's hair into a French twist? It's a good idea to learn how to do hair in a French twist, because it definitely has advantages. It is a truly lovely and elegant style.

Classy enough to be worn to the prom or a dinner party, and casual enough to wear with jeans, the French twist is just gorgeous. It's also a low maintenance style. Once you do your hair up, you can wear it the entire day without having to stop and re-do it all the time.

The first thing you need to do is to gather your hair up into a simple pony tail. Look in the mirror and be sure you like the way your hair frames your face. A few wisps her and there can actually be a nice touch.

Now for the second step: Twist your pony tail while holding it up in the air. It doesn't matter which way, but two or three revolutions should have your head beginning to feel the pressure of the twist.

After this, fold the now-twisted pony tail in half. Use a pony tail holder to secure the bottom part of the twist. Now the middle of the twist should be positioned just at the base of your head.

Take this halved ponytail, and twist it again a few times. This is the most difficult part of learning how to do hair in a French twist.

You'll get the hang of it after you practice a few times. You will twist it, and then pin it to your head with your hand.

Now you secure the twist to your head with several bobby pins. You'll be able to hide the pins better if you push them in place where the twist meets the hair on your head.

If you're doing this by yourself, you can use a hand held mirror in front of you and the bathroom mirror behind you to check on the way it looks.

When you are satisfied that you have learned how to do hair in a French twist, and you like the look, spray some holding spray and voila! You are set.
