Quick question, I'd love to know your thoughts on KZbin Shorts!👇🏻❤️

[@hiramalik1519]

Love them!

[@AlexGaboury]

@@hiramalik1519 Me too! I'd love to share some on my channel.

[@gracieb24]

They’re really fun!

[@varumayuri2124]

Love them so much !😍😍

[@hiramalik1519]

@@AlexGaboury I would watch them all haha

[@magpie.314]

I'm a guy with long black curly hair down to my butt, totally using this hairstyle for a wedding I got coming up. This could easily work as a messy boho updo for men. Combined with a light spring suit & I think you got something! Update: had a lot of trouble keeping everything in place with the French & bobby pins. Probably just need to keep practicing to get the hang of hair pins. It's still a great look & I got some lovely compliments from people. I was able to make it through my event for a couple of hours before it fell apart at home haha. Definitely want to try it again for future looks. Maybe even as a replacement for my current everyday messy bun, and adapt it as a low key, casual updo style, but semi-everyday. Always good to have options and this one definitely works for me, 8 out of 10 👍🏽👍🏽

[@faycoleman9023]

That sounds cool as hell!

[@eddajokie4115]

It's a great idea, you surely will be admired 👍

[@laurinnnn]

😂😂🎃

[@lmiller1413]

That would be a new trend

[@lmiller1413]

Not recommended. Men with long gorgeous hair are attractive to women with that bad boy look. French twists don't seem masculine. If you want a woman, stay masculine. Majority of women want a masculine man.

[@Girlo98]

For anyone who doesn’t need or wish to curl/wave their hair: the French twist part starts at 2:20. Thank you so much for such an easy and well explained tutorial! I love it! ❤️

[@angelikasinkevich894]

Thank you. I was wondering what happened to an easy twist, It takes only 40 mins to curl my hair.

[@shystudyspy]

Thanks!

[@jessicalowery3718]

I wore a curled french twist to my prom in 1994. Thanks for bringing it back!

[@Ira.1]

Wow! That was before I was born 💜 Did you style your hair yourself?

[@leahfide]

IM GOING TO DO IT TOO! For my prom this weekend

[@LeFroge]

I would be retired by the time i managed to find all those bobby pins in my hair again 😂😂😂

[@magpie.314]

You're not wrong, those bobby pins were a pain in the ass to take out after all that work lmaoo

[@Stereophonicsobsessed]

😂

[@leapintothewild]

Love this look, and freaking grateful I don't have to curl or use any product so it's 5 min and done for me! lol I remember real French twists on ladies when I was a baby in the 60s, so elegant.

[@Merlins1heir]

I have to thank Alex for this tutorial. I never do my hair nicely because it's super difficult for me, but I followed this tutorial so I could have a nice hairdo for my bridal shower, and my hair stayed all day long, I barely had to fuss with it. I've never been able to style my hair so well before -- thank you!

[@MissEMc2]

This is exactly how I used to do my French twist look.. except I didn’t know to put anchor pins on the side first to help the pins hold the twist up.. but I still never had an issue... but I probably used a lot more pins to hold it up then u needed to!! Love the look & loved knowing I was doing something kind of correct...lol!! Thank for another great video!!!

[@stephtzanis2944]

honestly a great tutorial. i've been huge fan of french twists for a long time and this was well explained!!!

[@lauramccament1381]

WOW jealous of your arm strength and endurance for making all those curls!!! I'm good for a couple of minutes but them I'm hurting :( !!!! Beautiful style! Love it !!

[@janiceervin428]

The soft French twist is a timeless classic:) thank you.

[@maggielevesque3904]

I wore my hair in a French twist for years starting when I was 12 years old & did it myself. I also did the side pins method.

C'est très appliqué et très joli. En réalité c'est une coiffure que nous faisons en France lorsqu'on à la flemme de se coiffer. Je le fais sur cheveux non brossé, ainsi ils ont un côté ondulé avec la boucle qui ressort et sont crêpé après une bonne nuit de sommeil (^^haha).

Hi Alex, I love your videos so much; thank you for doing them! Any tips for fine hair? I have golden blonde hair which I love but the thing I struggle with is making my hair look full; it’s of a very fine texture. Your hair looks so thick and full, I am jealous!

I have golden blonde fine hair too. I find spraying with dry shampoo and/or texturizer helps it look thicker and fuller

@@gracieb24 I use Marc Anthony volumizing texture spray and Baptiste dry shampoo. I have never gotten white bits in my hair but once I used too much texture spray and my hair got sticky. Yuk.
