How to Do a French Twist Updo in 6 Easy Steps

Start off with dry hair and part as desired. Use a bit of Suave Hair Refresher Dry Shampoo to refresh your strands and get the volume going. 

Then take your comb and begin teasing sections of hair, focussing on the hair that will eventually form the twist.

Once you’ve fully backcombed your hair, gently brush it to one side – being careful not to undo your teasing – and secure at the end with a hair elastic.

Take a pair of chopsticks or two pencils/pens (or anything similarly shaped) and place one on either side of your ponytail. This will aid in creating a neat twist. 

Holding the chopsticks firmly, start rolling your ponytail up and to the side, making sure to keep the hair pulled tight for a neat twist.

Now with the chopsticks in the center of the twist, secure it in place with bobby pins. Use as many as you need.

Now your twist is suitably secure, very gently pull out the chopsticks.

You can now perfect the look by further securing any loose bits of hair, or pull out some tendrils from the front of your ‘do to frame the face.

For the finishing touch set your look in place using the Bed Head by Tigi Masterpiece Shine Hairspray. 

With a non-sticky and fast-drying formula, this will ensure your chic updo lasts all day! And don’t worry, it brushes out easily, too.

Et voila! Your fancy French twist updo is complete and you’re now ready to take on any formal occasion.
