French Twist hairstyles

French Twist

French twist hairstyle is definitely a no-frills cosmopolitan classic. It’s a simple hairstyle that can be used from day to night. It’s a type of hairstyle that’s versatile enough for corporate setting and glamorous enough for the red carpet. You can play up the twist by keeping it loose, adding cascading side curls or embellishing it with crystal-encrusted pins!

We’re saying yes to Clotilde Courau’s cool quiff updo! A heightened top with slicked out sides will not only level out round-shaped facial structures, it also evokes a hip, avant-garde quality.

How-to:

  1. While hair is slightly wet, apply a volumizing mousse all over…
  2. Blow-dry your mane straight, then blow-dry the front of your hair up and back to exaggerate the volume…
  3. Backcomb the top a bit…
  4. Warm a dollop of styling pomade in your fingers and glide it through the top…
  5. Shape the top into a chic pompadour before gathering the rest of your hair low at the back and doing a French twist.

Kristen Bell chose a classic French twist hairdo for a formal event in Hollywood. To create this updo, her hair was curled in  soft waves and twisted in a French twist. Bobby pins were used to secure the hair in the back to hold the style in place. Loose hairs from her shorter layers were left loose to frame her face. This made the hairdo very romantic and feminine. French twists are a great prom hairdo!

Nicole Trunfio’s messy updo is sexy and oh-so easy to do! This is a great hairstyle for women who are not yet experts in updo DIY’ers. You can’t go wrong with this one! Trust us.

Start with thoroughly dry hair. Muss it all up using your fingers. For more volume, tease the crown a little before doing a side part. Loosely gather your hair then twist it to create a bun and secure with pins. Using the end of a rat tail comb, pull out thin strands at the sides for a casual cool look!

A top-heavy updo such as Jenna Ushkowitz’s modern beehive is a great hairstyle for fuller faces. A lifted top will make your face look slimmer. Adding loose fringe at the sides will heighten the effect further. Instead of doing a middle part such as Jenna’s, try a side part to make the face more angular.

Candace Cameron Bure’s curly updo with a voluminous top is a fun hairstyle that can be used for proms or weddings. Let the ends of your hair hang loose after doing a French twist. For a messier look, scrunch the ends lightly. For fuller faces, make sure that the sides are polished to slenderize the cheeks and the lower half of the face.

A beehive hairstyle is always a delight to see. It has a dash of eccentricity but is still unmistakably elegant. Instead of doing a centrally even beehive that will make the Coneheads swoon, Archie Panjabi opted for a slightly tilted version. Not too shabby, we say. Create a large bun under that pouf to make your beehive extra large. Tease your hair gently from the roots and use a hairspray with a super strong hold to make the coif last.

This is such a sweet-sixteen-cuter-than-thou look! Hannah Simone’s French twist coif will work better on shoulder length hair. We’ll give you the rationale in a minute after a quick tutorial. Curl the ends of your hair before twisting it into a loose updo. Allow the loose ends to go wild on top. Now, secure the style with pins then blow dry the bangs inwards to smoothen it out and give it sheen. As promised: Longer strands will make the ends flow down in all directions. You have to tuck some in to make it look like this.
