"Hi, my name is Laura and today I'm here to show you how to do the French Twist. A very popular style, the French Twist. You put it around to the back. In order to get the French Twist, what you are going to do is brush one side of your hair back towards the center of your scalp. In order to get any fly-aways, you may want to use a little bit of spray just to help them stay. Continue to brush it back. You're going to need bobby-pins in order to do this. You're going to actually pin your hair in the middle of the scalp and you're going to pin that one side all the way over. The best way to do this is actually to interlace or interlock your bobby-pins. You would put one going up and one going down, so that way they would make a bit of an X., that way the bobby-pins will actually stay for you better. They'll be more secure and you'll actually be locking them in. So, you're going to go one up and then one back down to get that X pattern. You'll probably need about fifteen to twenty bobby-pins in order to do this. After you are done interlocking that one side, you are going to brush the other side around. Again, you may want a little bit of spray to get any of those fly-aways. Once you grab your hair, you're going to grab it all as if it was into a pony-tail and you are literally going to twist. Once you secure your twist with your hand, you are going to start inserting the pins going into the twist and down. So, you're going to go in and down. You can also use any of your bobby-pins if you have any little pieces that come to fall out to push them back into that twist. Alright, that is how you do a French Twist."
