How to Do a French Twist: Cute Hairstyles

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Teri Lynne and I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. In this segment we're going to be doing the lazy woman's French twist. So we're going to start with nice clean combed hair. It's a little damp right now, which is nice. It makes it a little easier for putting your hair up if it's just slightly damp. You can do that by taking a water bottle and spritzing it or towel putting it under the sink and then towel drying it quite well. So you're going to take the hair and gather it right near the bottom, in a low almost ponytail here. And we're going to start to twist it. Nice and tight, that's the key with a French twist. And we're just going to twist it up as high as it's going to go. So if you have shorter hair it might be a shorter French twist. But as long as your hair is, you're going to try to get it as high as you can. Often with these you can bobby pin it all the way up. But again we're going to do it the really easy way. These clips are great. So if you can get one of these kind of clips, this is what you need and you're just going to clip it to the head and to the twist. Grab more hair and then the extra hair you can just flip down like this. Now, if you're feeling like it's a little too loose and you want to take a few bobby pins to the sides you can feel free. But usually if you have almost all one length hair it should stay up like this no problem. So that is how you do a lazy woman's French twist.
