A French twist can be styled in different ways, a tighter and higher structured French twist might portray a harsher meaner character whilst a soft wave or curly loose twist might portray a more gentle nature.
When creating a french twist, you will need:
> Hair grips
> Sectioning clips
> Geisha Pins
> Hair spray
> Heat protectant
> Hair Brush
> Teasing brush
> Inch Curling Iron
1. Brush through hair. Start from bottom and work through to the top to prevent breakage.
2. Decide the parting, or if you want a parting at all.
3. Create 3 sections.
4. Apply heat resistant to prevent damage to hair.
5. Curl hair towards the centre back of the head.
6. Keep the burrow curl in place with a sectioning clip and leave to set.
7. Set the curls in a brick wall structure.
8. Release all curls, and brush out forming one big curl.
9. Backcomb pieces of hair with a teasing brush to create volume and lift.
10. Cross grip hair to one side, making sure grips are secure and straight.
11. Wrap the side of hair over the hand, twist and hold into place.
13. Using geisha pins, secure the twist by pushing the pins through the cross grips.
14. Style accordingly and set in place with hairspray of choice.
After achieving this classic up-do, I thought about how to add certain details to it to add character:
How could I adjust the hair to allow it to portray a softer character?
How could I add elements of decay to portray Miss Havisham?
I then did a little more experimentation:
Here, you can see that loose curls can soften up the look, however, by loosening the back of the hair does not make the look look more romantic but just looks rushed. Instead, I should try adding more delicate fine feminine details.
Here, i have tried to add a element of decay by backcombing and adding more volume to the top of the head. However, again, I need to pay more attention to detail and be more precise as I will be tested on continuity.
