The French twist is a classic style that looks great on people of all ages.
Whether you are looking for a prom hairdo or just a way to change up your style, tied-up hair is a great option. Tied-up hair, often called an updo, is a classic choice for formal events and casual activities alike. Creating your own tied-up style is as simple as building on a few familiar styles, like a ponytail, braid or bun.
Ponytail Style
The classic French twist is created by beginning with a simple, low ponytail. Pull the hair up and use the hair on the right side of the tail to twist over the tail and simply pin in place. Excess hair can be left loose on top of the head, curled or tucked into the roll. The roll can be made tight for a more formal style or loosened up for daytime style.
Braid Style
Start with a braid to create sophisticated-looking styles that take little skill. Braid the hair into two braids at the base of the head. Pull each braid around the side of the head and fasten at the top with pin. This familiar milkmaid style can be modernized by roughing up the braids before wrapping them onto the head. For a quick updo that makes a big impact, braid the hair at the base of the head, using two large sections of hair and one very small section. Once the hair has been braided, hold just the small section of hair and push the rest of the hair up the strand, fastening it against the scalp with pins. Wrap the small section around the pushed-up hair and pin it in place.
Bun Style
The ballerina bun is a classic updo that can be changed to suit any style. Create it by gathering the hair at the top of the head. Twist it into a bun and fasten it with pins. To modernize it, pull out a few random stands to make the bun messier. For a sweet style, wrap the base of the bun in a ribbon or pearls. For shorter hair, create two small braids, one at each temple and pull all of the hair, braids included, back into a tight bun.
Curly Hair
Pull curled or naturally curly hair to the back of the head and slightly to the side. Twist the hair around itself and pin the hair up against the scalp for a side tie-up style. For a more casual style, pull hair back into a very loose, low ponytail, allowing plenty of tendrils to fall loose around the face. Roll the ponytail into a loose bun and fasten with plenty of pins.
