My favorite hairstyle
Feb 2^nd, 2003 at 11:38am

I have looked on hundreds of hairstyle sites, but have never ONCE found this hairstyle anywhere! I am so shocked, because this is my absolute *favorite* hairstyle, so easy to do, and it always works even on the worst hair days! My friend taught me this a little over a year ago, and once you master it, you will love it! It works on formal occasions, work places where you have to have your hair tied up, times when you don't have enough time to do your hair, or just when you want your hair swept away from your face!

Here's my secret!!! My friend called it The French Twist, and it required just one hairstick. Twist your hair as you would when you make a normal bun, and I like to leave a little bit sticking up from the top because it's kind of funky Tongue

. Then take the hairstick and push it UP through the BOTTOM of the bun and then DOWN again through the TOP of the bun. I don't know if these instructions are easy to follow or not! But I really hope you try it, because you will be so grateful when you master it! Oh and a word of caution - don't tug the bun too tight or the hairstick will never go through, and if it does it will rip at your head *shudder*. You have to be able to wrap it medium tight; too loose will cause it too fall off and too tight will cause unpleasant results!

Grin

Let me know what you think!

Do you have a picture of this style? It sounds interesting.

I could get a picture of me with that style, but I don't have FTP space or a website to put it on so I don't know how I'll upload it onto this site . Once I find this space or a site I will do my best to get it onto here!

This is very long. In my case it does work.

I have found another style which I really like. You begin at the crown of your head and make a basic french braid, but when you have picked up hair from above your ears, just braid your hair as normal without picking up more hair. You can add a couple of twists or accent braids around it as well.

I am not sure how clear this picture is, but if you want, I've posted a pic of my hair in this style on this page: http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=1659754&uid=907601&members=1. Sorry but my hair isn't very long at the moment Cry

It's a funny coincidence apparently that people are talking about a hairstyle called "The French Twist."

I subscribe to a hairstyle website that sends out notices when they post new styles and they just posted pictures and instructions for a style they call "The Twisted Loop" too!

I think it's similar to what you're talking about:
