Coming off of a glamourous night in Hollywood, nothing seemed more fitting than sharing a French Twist tutorial. It's probably one of the most recognizable and classic hairstyles of all time.
To keep it modern, I reversed it. So, instead of working up the head, you work towards the bottom.
The beautiful clip that completed this look is from BHLDN. BHLDN is a sister store to Anthropologie, featuring stunning wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses, wedding accessories, and of course, hair accessories.
If I were getting married again, to Justin of course, this would be exactly how I would wear my hair. Bracken clip and all.
Tools: bobby pins, a comb, hairspray, working spray. optional: head piece.
The Aquage Biomega working spray I mentioned in the video can be found here!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this!! It's so elegant!

Kate!! I am SO glad you did a French twist!!! I have been trying to perfect one for years and all of the videos show the long hair, very tight, starch ones!! YOU ROCK (as always) young lady!!
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed how you do a hairstyle like this without a mirror!
ReplyDeleteIt's stunning!!! And I love the addition of the jazz. It's a nice new touch. When I go try this myself I hope it keeps me more relaxed ;) hair is supposed to be fun, right?

ReplyDeleteThere is no other way to describe this hairstyle and clip but beautiful! Thanks Kate for showing us another great hairstyle tutorial. Also I wanted to say I like this backdrop better than the bathroom, but the bathroom works great too.

Just beautiful Kate! I love it with and without the accessory. Sooo elegant!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you do this tutorial? I think I prefer the bathroom:-) and did you really do the hairstyle with no mirror??
ReplyDeletethe lighting is better in this room. :)
DeleteAhhh More natural light. I see it now. Great tutorial and beautiful as always! Can't wait to try the hairstyle.
DeletePS I wouldn't have noticed the earring, had you not mentioned it. I had to really LOOK for the problem:-)
If you had not mentioned the earring coming out, I'm not sure I would have noticed it. I love that, though! You always look so perfect; it's nice to see a little oops :) Gives me hope for myself!
ReplyDeleteCan you do a tutorial of how to do french braid?
ReplyDeleteA modern twist on the French twist! Beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteohhh, I could have used this for Saturday! I went with the sideways french twist, which actually I loved, but my hair wasn't lifting enough for me in the crown so it wasn't all that I imagined. I want to thank you though, because every style you post is so approachable and although my hair type and style is different from yours I feel like I can pull almost any of them off. You make glamor feel do-able :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Wish I had long hair to be able to pull it off!
ReplyDeleteKate, I have always loved your hair tutorials, but I wanted to also say, your confidence and ease on camera has increased so much--I think that is something you've talked about in the past (in your bloopers video post), and I just thought you should know, this video looks so polished, professional, and well edited. Such a great job!

I watched this tutorial with my two boys..... My 2 year old said "She's beautiful", then when you were half-way through teasing your hair my 4 year old said "Her hair looks funny, but she is beautiful". They want to try this on their 10 month old sister's hair, who is practically bald :) I love your blog. Thank you for sharing all your information and entertaining me and my children :) We are all BIG fans!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I love how you walk us through the process step by step! I've recreated a few of your hairstyles and always get lots of complements! I do have a question though, I have curly hair and typically will curl it with a curling iron to get a nicer/smoother curl, but do you think I could do some of these styles without that step and just do it from the naturally curly state?
ReplyDeleteLove this look! Would have been beautiful for the Oscars!!!
ReplyDeletebeautiful! the hair piece really completes it. you really did a great job making the french twist look modern and effortless! cant wait to watch the video (im at work haha)! :)
ReplyDeleteI love beautiful clips, but it is so hard to find quality hair pretties. Do you shop other places for hair clips/barrettes besides BHLDN?
ReplyDeleteSo glamorous! Might need to use this for my wedding. Thanks for another great tutorial!
ReplyDeleteI must must must try that!! Beautiful! Thank you so much for the tutorial.

Simply gorgeous. I cannot find the link for the hair tutorial you mentioned in the video, though. (the one in which you flat iron your hair, then twist and pin while cooling)
ReplyDeleteKate,
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of bobby pins do you use? I can never find ones that keep my hair secure. My hair is a little more fine and flat than yours, and I always have trouble styling it!
I absolutely love this! It is so elegant. I cant wait to try it. I love the low lights in your hair by the way :)
ReplyDeleteWOW, I love your tutorials! You've inspired me to actually "do" something with my hair other than the usual ordinary ponytail!! What do you call the colur of your hair? When I go to the salon to do highlights, I never come out with what I actually wanted, yours is the perfect color!

DeleteThank you so much for an easy step by step explanation. I've always wanted to try a french twist. Now I can.
ReplyDeleteKate, I love this look! What's the brand/name of the lip color you're wearing? Thanks for all of the great tutorials!
ReplyDeleteHi Kate! I love your blog and am constantly inspired by it! Thanks so much for all of your great tutorials!
ReplyDeleteI am wondering if you have any advice for someone who has recently gone through postpartum hair loss, and the hair is growing back slowly but surely? I have major, major, major fly away hairs along my face, and through my head. Putting my hair up is almost impossible. Any hair products or styles that you would recommend for this mom who desperately need to get her hair out of her face?
Thanks!!
Congratulations for your page its really cool… I just found it thou, but what I’ve seen has really helped me! I am also in a plan to buy a Security Camera I have got all the basic details for choosing it. Thanks a lot!
