Updo's ( French Twist ) part. 2

4. Create the Twist

1.) Smooth the remaining hair on the left of the row of pins. Use a paddle brush and then a comb to prepare it for placing in the twist. **Note: It is important to completely smooth and prepare the hair before pinning it in place. Once it has been pinned and sprayed, it is difficult to

2.) Direct the hair slightly upward and lightly apply hair spray.

3.) Transfer the hair to your right hand. Hold it at about the middle of its length, straight out toward you with the

fingers of your right hand pointed down and toward the nape.

4.) Grasp the ends of the hair with your left hand and wrap them into a circle. Hold the circle with your right hand's thumb and index finger, with your palm facing toward

you.

5.) To create the twist, turn the hair so your palm is toward the head, and continue to hold the hair with the thumb and finger as you twist the hair into a cone shape against the head. The twist of hair rests slightly over the line of bobby pins.

6.) Hold the twist with your left hand as you use your righthand to place bobby pins down inside the center of the twist. Place three to four bobby pins close to the scalp

near the original row of pins.

7.) Add hair pins as necessary along the seam. Place the hair pins by catching the outer edge of the twist and then rotating them in against the scalp to secure.

Note: If the bobby pins or hair pins show too much, you’ve caught too much hair. Remove the pins and placethem again, catching less hair.

8.) Spray the sides and the twist again with hair spray from a distance approximately 10"p

5.) Style the front

Style the front of the hair as needed to create the desired

effect. For a classic pompadour look, sweep the front hair upfrom the ears and twist it around to fold it in to the top

of the twist. Other options include creating bangs/fringe,

adding a side part, or back-combing for volume.

❗️The French Twist is a classic style for medium to long hair. The finish you create determines whether the effect is a

sleek daytime or an evening look.
