The classic French twist is incredibly elegant, and it's so easy to do.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Medium-length or long hair
Bobby pins the color of your hair
Hair spray
Styling gel (optional)

Step 1: Do a ponytail

Comb your hair back into a low ponytail, but don't tie it.

Tip: Use a little gel or hair spray to smooth every hair into place.

Step 2: Twist the hair

Tightly twist the ponytail around and around, and then pull the tail up, so the ends are facing the ceiling.

Step 3: Anchor it

Anchor the twist with bobby pins in a shade that matches your hair, taking care that they don't show.

Step 4: Tuck in the ends

Tuck the ends down and under the twist.

Step 5: Spray it

Lightly spray the finished twist.

My hair is generally too long for most beautiful updos so I was thrilled when I saw her tuck the rest in the way she did, it inspired me to try again and I found that I could tuck all of my hair back into the twist! So even if your hair is so long it strains your neck (like mine) don't give up!
