The classic French twist is incredibly elegant, and it's so easy to do.

You Will Need:

* Bobby pins the color of your hair
* Hair spray

Step 1: Do a ponytail
Comb your hair back into a low ponytail, but don't tie it.
*Tip: Use a little gel or hair spray to smooth every hair into place.

Step 2: Twist the hair
Tightly twist the ponytail around and around, and then pull the tail up, so the ends are facing the ceiling.

Anchor the twist with bobby pins in a shade that matches your hair, taking care that they don't show.

Step 4: Tuck in the ends
Tuck the ends down and under the twist.

Step 5: Spray it
Lightly spray the finished twist.

*Fact: Grace Kelly wore her hair in a French twist to the 1955 Academy Awards, where she won best actress for her performance in The Country Girl.
