Want to learn how to do your hair or your daughter's hair in a French twist? It's a good idea to learn how to do hair in a French twist, because it definitely has advantages. It is a beautiful and elegant hairstyle.

Classy enough to be worn to the prom or a dinner party, and casual enough to wear with jeans, the French twist is just gorgeous. It's also a low maintenance style. Once you do your hair up, you can wear it the entire day without having to stop and re-do it all the time.

The first step is to pull your hair back into a simply pony tail. Look in the mirror and be sure you like the way your hair frames your face. A few wisps her and there can actually be a nice touch.

Next, hold your pony tail up in the air and begin to twist it. Which way you twist doesn't matter, but two to three twists should do the trick. You should feel the pressure of the twist on the back of your head.

After this, fold the now-twisted pony tail in half. Use a pony tail holder to secure the bottom part of the twist. The middle of the twist will now be at the bottom of your head.

Take this halved ponytail, and twist it again a few times. This is the most difficult part of learning how to do hair in a French twist.

Practice a few times, and you should get the hang of it. Now you'll twist it and, with your hand, pin it in place to your head.

It's time to secure the twist to your head by using several bobby pins. You'll be able to hide the pins better if you push them in place where the twist meets the hair on your head.

If no one is helping you, then hold up a small hand mirror before your face so that you can check the way the back of your hair looks in the bathroom mirror behind you.

When you are satisfied that you have learned how to do hair in a French twist, and you like the look, spray some holding spray and voila! You are set.
