FRENCH TWIST

An updo which comprises a twisted bun that runs from the top of the head, down till the nape. The hairstyle is only possible to create if your hair is generously long, as the do is created by stylising a ponytail into a twisted bun and then fastening it with bobby pins

and holding spray.

STYLE IT RIGHT

While the French Twist might remind you of a perfectly polished 50s advertisement, you can make the style contemporary by doing a beehive-esque exaggerated twist like singer (L-R) Katy Perry or actor Jessica Alba.
