How To: French Twist


So this is the finished product! If you like what you see, keep reading!
If you found french braiding difficult (check out my other tutorial if you still don't know how) then this hairstyle is for you. It only uses two strands instead of three, so there will be less confusion on how to hold your hands. What I love most about this hairdo is that it looks so similar to a french braid, but you can do it in half the time.

Step 1: Take a section at the front of your head and divide it into two equal sections.


Step 2: Just to start off you want to twist the two strands around each other twice. You want to twist away from the face.



Step 3: Add a small piece of hair to the bottom strand.




Step 4: Twist the two strands away from the face. It is important to note that you do not want to twist too tightly or the "bumps" of the twist won't stick out as much as you want them to. Use a medium tension for this look.



Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you reach the nape of your neck. I have secured mine into a ponytail at this point, but you could finish it off by repeating this on the other side, or by turning it into a half up, half down hairdo. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination. So play around with it and just have fun! Let me know in the comments below what look you want me to do next!
