Creating a synthetic hair French twist is a classic and elegant updo hairstyle. It involves gathering the hair at the back of the head and twisting it upward to form a sleek, rolled twist. While the French twist is traditionally done with natural human hair, you can also achieve a similar look with synthetic hairpieces or extensions.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to create a synthetic hair French twist:
- Prepare the Hair: If you are using synthetic hair extensions or a wig, make sure the hair is clean and free from tangles. Detangle the hair gently using a wide-tooth comb or a specialized detangling brush designed for synthetic hair.
- Gather the Hair: Pull all the synthetic hair into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck. You can secure the ponytail with a hair elastic or a hair bungee to keep it in place.
- Twist the Hair: Hold the ponytail with one hand and use the other hand to twist the hair upward. As you twist, guide the hair towards the crown of your head.
- Form the French Twist: Continue twisting the hair upward until it forms a vertical roll against the back of your head. Keep the twist tight and secure.
- Pin the Twist: Use hairpins or bobby pins to secure the French twist in place. Insert the pins vertically, pushing them through the twist and into the base to hold the hair securely.
- Tuck the Ends: If there are any loose ends or excess hair sticking out, tuck them into the twist and secure them with additional pins.
- Finishing Touches: Use hairspray or a synthetic hair styling product to set the French twist and smooth down any flyaways or frizz.
Please note that achieving a French twist with synthetic hair may require some practice, especially if you are working with hairpieces or extensions. Synthetic hair may have a different texture and hold compared to natural hair, so be patient and gentle during the styling process. If you’re unsure about creating the style yourself, consider visiting a professional hairstylist experienced in working with synthetic hair to achieve the best results.
