Top Autumn Trend: French Twists
Whether it's the idea of an updo or simply pulling your hair back to be able to show off your newest turtleneck, the French Twist is a look that more and more of us will be wearing this season. We’ve seen the trend on the red carpet and runway on celebs such as Bella Hadid, Katy Perry and Rihanna, but this season we’ll see a more low-maintenance version of this iconic twist.
How To Style It:
The French Twist (much like many upstyles) usually works best on second-day hair. However, a low-key version of the look can easily be created as well. It can be created for an invisible finish with bobby pins and hairspray, or simply pulled back with a festive clip for everyday instances.
For a sleek look:
Start with straight or blow-dried hair, pick your part and pull hair to the back and twist — tucking your ends if you want a polished look. To keep the look in place bobby pins as you tuck and roll the look. To keep things in place and avoid any flyaways, spray Keune Style High Impact Spray and utilize a comb or your hand to smooth the silhouette.
For an ethereal look:
While a classic French Twist is sleek and seamless, you can easily recreate an ethereal feel at home on natural texture or straightened hair by pulling out a few tendrils around the face and opting for a claw clip to hold the hair instead of bobby pins. For this look, we suggest adding Redken Deep Clean Dry Shampoo on second-day hair to give the hair a refreshed and volumized feel.
Why You'll Love This Look:
Whether creating a smooth and sleek style or a low-key ethereal feel, the French Twist easily updates any outfit and can be a great way to pull hair back in a pinch. It requires about the same amount of prep work as a ponytail but often looks more polished.
