The classic French twist is elegant and sleek, perfect for special occasions like weddings and black-tie parties. The modern French twist, a flirty modification of the classic, is good for cocktail parties, work or a night out on the town.

on 8/21/2008 The tip to pin hair all the way up the back before starting the twist was a big help. I had never heard that before, and now I have finally succeeded in putting my hair in a french twist!

on 1/22/2008 This video was great! I need to put my daughter's hair in a french twist for Winter Formal. I don't have time to take her to the salon as she's swimming in a meet earlier in the day. I had the basic idea right when I did a dry run earlier in the week. The two tips that were the most helpful is to create a line of bobby pins and to back comb with a paddle brush and to see just how this was done. I hope these tricks will make the difference between looking "home made" and a professionally styled coiffure. Thank you!

on 5/13/2007 Try a Twistii. It puts your hair up in a French Twist in about 20 seconds.

on 11/22/2005 Be sure not to add a ponytail holder to your ponytail. This ruins the entire design. When twisting for yourself, checking consistently for uneven hair or bumps. When finished, you can put a bobby pin in the top and bottom, or use a comb (preferred method, bobby pins can be used to help further secure). Any small bumps can be smoothed by running a damp comb through your hair. Good luck!
