Are you interesting in doing hair in a French twist for yourself or perhaps your daughter? Learning how to do hair in a French twist is a definite and clear advantage. It is a truly lovely and elegant style.

The French twist is not only beautiful, it's versatile: You can wear it with your casual jeans, or you can wear it to a dinner party or the prom. It is also easy maintenance because once it is up you can wear it for the whole day without needing to re-do your hair over and over again.

First, you will gather your hair in to 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. Twist two to three times until you can feel the pressure on the back of your head. The direction doesn't really matter.

Next, you will fold the twisted pony tail in half, and secure the bottom part of the twist in with the pony tail holder. Now the middle of the twist should be positioned just at the base of your head.

Now comes the most challenging part of learning how to do hair in a French twist. You need to twist this halved pony tail again a few more times.

After practicing a few times you will get the hand of it. Now you'll twist it and, with your hand, pin it in place to your head.

Now you secure the twist to your head with several bobby pins. By pushing the pins in where the twist meets the hair on your head, you will be able to hide the pins a little better.

If no one is helping you, then hold up a small hand mirror before your face so that you can check the way the back of your hair looks in the bathroom mirror behind you.

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.
