The classic French twist has made a comeback on both the runway and the red carpet. But now in a modern version that is a little softer and more effortlessly elegant than before. It truly symbolizes the big trend right now, which is "styling with intention".

Some simple tips for a modern twisted updo (French twist):

• Start by gathering your hair into a low ponytail without an elastic
• Twist the hair upwards and in towards your head
• Secure with a hairpin, hair comb, or a larger barrette
• Gently pull out a few strands so that the hairstyle isn't too tight
• Finish with a little shine spray or a light oil for a more polished look

Right products:
