The Sideways French Twist

[@1mimianderson]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU so much for this wonderful and easy to follow updo tutorial I am a 68 yr old woman that has wanted to keep my hair long . But that can be challenging , make you look older instead of it being an asset. We had an event to attend that required "cocktail attire". I was fretting as to WHAT I was going to do with my hair. Knew I wanted to wear it up . But how to fix it, feel GOOD about it and it look elegant ?? I had no clue. Until I found your channel. Several people complimented my hair - asked where I had it "done" :) Told them to check out your channel!

[@victorialasher8161]

I've been meaning to comment for over a year. I did my hair like this for a semi-formal, lake-front, wedding. I'm not a big dancer, but keeping in mind what you said about it not being the most secure style, and being on the lake, I double pined everything, crossing the pins. My hair was about the length of yours, but had been thinning due to some medication I was on, and I was very self-conscious about that. With a little teasing, and doing the rolls in the back loosely, I was able to create an illusion of thicker hair. I received many compliments, and felt beautiful. I'm going to another wedding in a couple of days and plan to do this again. I will add that I usually found trying to put my hair up to be a disaster, but, after watching you 3 times, I got it right on the first try. I'm hoping last time wasn't just beginner's luck. Also, guess what? I'm on a different medication and my hair has thickened up quite a bit. Thank you so much for this clear, easy-to-follow, tutorial.

[@lizsanchez1847]

How I enjoy these old videos. They never get boring. Wish you would do these again.

[@BlueRose-uc5ix]

Excellent tutorial, you explained so well I was able follow along with no problem. Thank you. Quick question can you do a tutorial on how you prep your hair for these amazing updoo's that you do? And what products you use? I'm a hair stylist and your curls and the volume you have in your hair before you start is absolutely beautiful.

[@carjhb]

All these years later! This is still so great!!!!

[@thebrittanyblondie]

Wow! A gorgeous hairstyle in no time at all! I cannot wait to try this out! Absolutely FABULOUS!! Thanks so much for these tutorials!

[@justinienpibrac1231]

Merci pour ce cours magistral qui fait paraître accessible un magnifique chignon maison. Ce que vous réalisez en moins de dix minutes prendra certainement plus de temps aux néophytes mais avec de l’entraînement, ils pourront peut-être s’en approcher. Et bravo pour vos sourires et votre dynamisme!

[@michaelcarducci756]

you do a great job without seeing the back of your hair. BRAVO Your tutorials helps me to be better at doing updo's. I'm grateful...

[@Jcvolleychick]

Oh my goodness I am SO glad I found you! I used to have long hair and loved how much I could do with it, but about a year ago I cut all my hair off. I love love love my hair short but I was running out of ideas of what to do with my short hair and you just gave me so much inspiration! Keep up the hard work and I look forward to more awesome videos!

[@namratajuneja9968]

your tutorials ARE BRILLIANT

[@sharminikamaragoda2976]

Thank you for sharing. So elegant,yet simple.

[@AmyAnnLand]

Gorgeous. I have super thick and very long hair. I may have to alter this when I try it. Thank you for showing us!

[@emilydowning7395]

Tried this...it took me four tries and about 20 bobby pins but it looked super cute for a Christmas Work party.

[@shelleywallace1228]

Nice job!! You might want to mount strategically placed angled mirrors or even adjustable to help see your beautiful creations!! Check hotels and salons for ideas!!

YOU'RE SO AWESOME!! I'M A STYLIST FRESH OUT OF SCHOOL AND I'M OVER HERE WITH MY JAW HANGING ON THE GROUND!! I'm so impressed with all of your updo's! I wish you had been one of my teachers at school! :D

[@lynntezanos947]

You make these styles look so easy. I have really thick, coarse hair, and I can’t use enough bobby pins to hold it in place. It’s so frustrating! Thanks for sharing, though. Your videos are really easy to follow. You’re a good teacher! 💕💕💕

[@Makeuploveculture]

definitely the best hair tutorials ...i think it's because you know how to explain what your doing so well.

[@lizsanchez1847]

I sure do enjoy watching these old hairstyle tutorials. Wish you would more like these again.

[@susankarppala42]

You are the best! I hate watching these generally but you get right to it and don't waste a lot of time bloviating! Actually enjoyed!

[@601salsa]

i have really fine, thin blonde hair, i am finding it very difficult to create the illusion of volume with my updo's as my hair either fall out of the hair style or appears flat, do you have any tips?

[@mysticartist6936]

601salsa I do. I must use more bobby pins to keep things in bigger loops and I use a light spraying of volumizing extreme hold hair spray or a hair spray called freeze spray and a quick spray after placing each pin. Beauty supply shops and wig shops carry lightweight hair "poofs" you pin under the top layer of your hair for instant volume. My hair is difficult at times too so I don't begin the hairstyle until I have lightly sprayed and then combed it so it stops frizzies or falling strands of hair.

[@leanneklyne15]

I love your tutorials! Thank you for making updo's for shorter hair super easy!

[@caitelizs]

You are adorable and super classy. My Junior Recital is tomorrow and I'm definitely going to watch all of your videos to make the final decision on my hair! Thanks for sharing.

[@karendigirolamo884]

really nice job. you really showed all the movement and make it look so easy and the finish is awesome.

[@friendoflife2416]

Your hairstyles are so easy to follow! I have done 2 already that turned out very nicely and I am not good with hair at all. You are amazing!

[@chrisg4584]

I love this hairstyle, but my hair is very long & slippery (like it won't hold a tease very well & bobby pins just fall out even if I hairspray them first). Any tips?

[@teresahannasch3420]

chris green Philly reinforce the bobby pins by putting them into an x shape whenever possible. I have the same problem

[@GladysAlicea]

Even w/my hair which isn't slippery, length and thickness can create same problem depending on style. Try a tiny bit of pasty gel; to avoid too much, place an index-finger's worth (depending on thickness/length of hair), spread it through your fingers and just dab a little in areas you'll use to make french twist (which won't show greasy look). Gel make the hair easier to handle, but remember to use sparingly. You can always add more if needed. Good luck!

[@maryjustice5266]

I totally love watching your videos. So well done and easy to follow. THANK YOU

[@naturalNstylish]

Very pretty! Your hair is probably very different 2+ years later but the highlights are gorgeous. Clear instructions, easy technique. I sometimes flat iron my hair and will be sure to try this. Thanks! ;)

[@vbbreeze]

Thank you so much for sharing this. My son is getting married next week and I have found the up do for me. Great!!!!!!!

[@amygibson3095]

Im heading to Kentucky Derby. Need a great updo to wear with fascinator. Needs to be easy. I love your style!!

[@tamaramorton8812]

It looks beautiful. She's so skillful with styling hair, bobby pins, everything. I think it's really important to have some curl before starting, as she said. My hair is very straight. I haven't been able to curl it satisfactorily enough, or in the right way, to do this style. I've looked at a lot of updo videos and this is one of the easiest to follow, though. Hers and Milabu. I'll keep trying. 👍🏼

[@persia2287]

Hi! Would this style work with an A line bob cut? I can't seem to wear my hair in an updo it's so short.

[@sandramac60]

Thank you! You explain each step so well, and by demonstrating on yourself, rather than styling someone else's hair, you show us that this style CAN be done by oneself, in one's mirror, checking and rechecking as you go, and feeling each step. I have always wanted to do this type of style, rather than cut my hair (I love it longer, as does my husband!) I can even take this video to a stylist, to show her what I want, rather than trying to explain it, myself. Again, great tutorial, for a style I have always wanted to achieve!

[@barcalonga]

Your explanation is so easy to understand, and you are so pretty!

[@ArabianShalifa]

I'm not sure if I should attempt this one or not. I never like to back comb my hair. My hair is about waist length. It might be too long to try this; I think. Hummmm not sure.

[@danielledixon7328]

I don't have bangs or any layers around my face. What can I do with the front instead of it straight back or a little bump?

[@GladysAlicea]

This is a "fav" video; since I have very long hair (mid-back), and it's very thick (yes, I'm blessed, but it's a lot of work), I really like the step-by-step instructions. I find most long-hair vids or fav-hairstyle vids go very fast. Since I'm very good w/my own hair, I usually end up making an entirely new style a bit different from the video. That said, thank you so much for giving me an easy way, besides the many hair pins I'll need, to do one of my all-time fav do's. BTW, to dress it up even further, I add pretty, glittery clips at the end; if colors match the outfit, even better! Thanks again!

[@heidiforan1147]

So, so cute!!! And you have such beautiful hair! Looking forward to see if I can attempt this with my long, curly...and very thick hair. I may have to make some modifications....

[@StellaPastLife]

Lovely. We'll done. This can be done with elastics now , so you c shake your head and it's super secure.

[@rosemaryaldersonalderson3282]

Looks beautiful, absolutely elequent

[@Jete59]

I love how you teach! It is easy to see and understand thank you.

[@twalls2773]

These tutorials are absolutely fabulous! I love watching you do totally cool things with your hair. Thank you!!! :)

[@kimreynolds9062]

I love your tutorials! They have really helped me improve my turnout as my hair grows out!

[@christinedauzat5036]

You made this look very easy. I’m definitely going to try. What was all the products that you used? Do you have any links on the products?

[@momofmadeleine]

Beautiful. Thank you. I wonder if making a French twist in the usual way, but horizontal, would work. I will have to try this.

[@yasminwu9604]

Very cool! It's super nice that you can do the style yourself!

[@andreavanantwerp4160]

Kate, you are a good teacher.... thank you.

[@Thequestyoga]

I love this! Wear my hair like this thanks to your video and always get compliments on it. Thank you : )

Your hair color is beautiful. I think it’s foi , but do you use a toner? Thank you for the tutorial, great job as always. ❤️

[@meaganroth6141]

I have a formal dance this Saturday and I have short hair, barely to my shoulders. Any suggestions?

[@southerntwangqt]

Really enjoyed the video. Always looking for 2nd day hair styles for work that are polished and quick!

[@bombomboo]

Absolutely stunning... What would you recommend for very long hair...

[@axeniapopa7241]

Very nice , I like it very much, thank you gave me an idea of style for Easter. I found it by looking for a hairstyle for Easter and not find my type of hair that has your hair length. I get stressed out a lot and I finally found it. You deserve all the praise.

[@JesslynJie]

is there any hairstyles without teasing the hair? because i found myself hardly brush my hair after it...

[@dalemccarthy6338]

would that still work on straight hair?

[@bekibeauty]

What to do if my hair is much longer? How to loop? Thank!

[@lindadillon4482]

So beautiful and I want to learn how to do some up to's. My mom used to have a beauty salan and I learned how to do a French twist, so I was inspired when I saw this video. My hair parts exactly like yours, same style, so maybe with practive I

[@christinatenhoeve4581]

I love love love your updo's!! u are amazing! I am just finding that it can be challenging with longer hair. Can you maybe please give hints on how to adjust for longer hair?? Please!! And thanks tons!! Christina

[@dianne6046]

It's good you've mentioned the direction the bobby pin goes in. ☆☆☆ ........ horizontal. When you watch other videos u can't see which direction the bobby pins are going in, so I'm glad you've mentioned the direction where it goes😁👈 *** ps. When teasing hair does the part in your hair have to be straight or just pick up hair and tease it ?

[@kayekog]

As a country girl, I used to work with would say,"this is so stinkin' pretty!" It is. Darn. My hair isn't quite long enough now in the hot weather but I may be able to wear soon since our heinous Southeastern summers last until first part of November.

[@tranquility9325]

Thank you so much...some of you chickies are very creative with this sort of thing..thank you very much

[@beckijameson3844]

Lovely! You could also braid that last section before bringing it across and over the previous rolled and tucked sections.

[@valeriaannlomas5870]

Loving this, will defo try it, thank you so much xx

[@bibingkamasarap]

WOW, BEAUTIFUL, great tutorial, explained so very well, thanks for sharing,

[@katrielchapman9934]

Very pretty. My hair is shoulder length so it might work. I think I'll try it sometime.

[@jsmith3980]

Very impressive tutorial, you make it look easy! Thank you.

[@betsyknorr5811]

great stuff! I would love to see how you curl your hair before you do these. I'm just curious how you would take us through how it's done so I can have straighter volumed hair on top but curly volume on the bottom

The beauty supply store has very sturdy, good bobby pins. They come in a plastic container in two different shades. They cost a bit more then the "Goody" type bobby pin, but they really work and they hold their shape.

[@marianojszewska9956]

Beautiful looks so elegand. Thank you!

[@cieciorka94]

Do you think that this hairstyle I can do on little shorter hair?

[@cecex4545]

I so wish I had hair like this! My hair is far too long and thin to do this with, it won't even tease properly or hold curls :(

[@triciamcgrew]

awesome video...this is the first one I have ever seen that I think I could follow thanks to your excellent teaching skill

[@terrilynn1107]

i'm curious.. What is your hair type? Is it thick or fine?

[@ShanInBurk]

Urrrrg! I fail at the start of this. I can't get the bobby pins to hold my hair up in the half up part. I've tried using less hair, but it just falls out. Why can't I get it to stay?

[@EtramIramSE]

i have really long hair, can i still do this hairsyle?

[@kissmeimirish85]

Does your hair have to be curled to do this?

[@ashleydunn9170]

Love this look, how do you get your bangs and layers to behave?

[@bethanygawthorp]

god, you are so amazing, I have tried creating this look on myself atleast 10 times now and I still cant grasp it, I'd probably end up cutting my hair off even though there's no scissors involved xx
