Looking for an easy hairstyle to keep your curly hair up and out of the way? The French Roll Twist & Pin is perfect for second day curls.
Using the Hair Romance Twist & Pin technique, I wanted to show this hairstyle in curly hair. Often I shoot my tutorials in straight hair but don’t think my hairstyles are just for straight hair. They work just as well in curly hair. The only difference is that it’s easier for me to shoot a tutorial in blowdried hair. The texture of curly hair can really add volume to a simple style.
This twist on the classic French roll is perfect for school or work when you need your hair to be neat and tidy all day long. It’s will keep your hair up on a hot day and add a few accessories and you’re ready for a night out.
Curly hair tutorial – the French Roll Twist & Pin Hairstyle
Step-by-step
- Pin back your bangs, or the front section of your hair. I like a little bit of height but not too much of a bump.
- Take a section from each side of your hairline and bring together into a twist at the back of your head.
- Twist the section around your finger and pin into a small bun. Pin in place with bobby pins.
- Repeat steps 2 & 3 until all your hair is twisted and pinned into a line down the back of your head.
I’ve done five small buns in my hair but you can adjust this to suit your hair thickness and length.
I wear this style all the time. It’s great for second day hair and works in wet hair too. It’s my go-to work hairstyle as it keeps your hair out of the way all day.

Looks so easy! I have very curly hair and the first day of washing it, my curls look great! But by the second day they’re not good and I always have to put my hair up. But with this style the hair is up and still so pretty! Thank you so much, can’t wait to try it
Thank you! I hope you try it and I have more curly hair tutorials to share soon that are perfect for hiding second (or third) day curls x
When I can’t deal with my hair, or it’s frizzy, or I haven’t washed it, or about a million other reasons, my perfect hair style is to do a twist (like a french braid, but with two pieces) starting at the crown and going along the hairline to the back on each side. At the neck, I either twist the two sections together into a bun, or leave it as a ponytail. When I was younger I would make two small buns out of each side. It’s funny because I always get lots of compliments, but I know it was my desperation hairstyle!
That sounds like a great style Anna, I’m going to give it a try! So often these styles are even better in dirty hair and no-one can tell
I’m doing this to my hair on Tuesday when I have a meeting at work
Thank you! Let me know how you go x
