Hair Romance loves a quick and easy hairstyle and this is as simple as Twist & Pin!
This is my take on the classic French roll and is a hairstyle I often wear. It’s chic and I like to leave it a little messy, for that effortless feel.
Hairstyle How-To:
- Gather your hair into a low ponytail
- Twist your ponytail and twist it up
- Tuck the end of your ponytail inside to form a roll
- Use bobby pins to pin in place. For a secure finish, pin from right to left, twisting the pin 180 degrees so that you catch hair from the top but pin underneath (see photos)
Hope you like my latest tutorial! You’ve been requesting some hairstyle tutorials on Twitter lately and so I have a few more coming up very soon.
Hi Christina i found ur site couple of months ago nd hats off to u.every single tutorial is just fantastic and easy to follow.i wanna ask that i have waist long thick hair its bit difficult for me to twist all of hair and tuck it doesnt come out so good will u plz tell me any technique for long hair
Thank you so much Amtul! Your hair sounds beautiful! This type of style is harder to do when you have a lot of hair. I haven’t tried this before, but I’ve seen a stylist use a chopstick to help roll up the hair. Then once it’s pinned into place, remove the chopstick and tidy up the finished roll. Also try using spin pins as well as regular pins to hold your hair. Your roll will not look the same as mine but you will still achieve a beautiful undo xx
I also have really long hair and when I’m doing a French twist, I go from the bottom to the top keep twisting the left over and then take that back down to the bottom again folding under your original bulky side…if that makes any sense. Secure w B. Pins as u go.
That is so easy to do it, but look nice too
Thanks Kanchana! xx
this is a great website.
can someone please post how to make a hair put up.
(P.S)If you can make the pu up be a bun.
Sort of related to this post I guess….I have never been able to find bobby pins that work well! Do you have any suggestions? I have very white-blonde hair so black or brown ones always looks really awkward in my hair, and as of right now I have these ones that, while blonde, slip out within minutes.
Thanks if you have time to answer!!

Hi Abby, good quality pins make all the difference. Cheaper ones fall out of my hair too. I buy Goriki brand pins from a hairdressing supply shop and they are fantastic. You can buy all different colours. The blonde is very gold but they have a silver pin which could work better in your hair? Try amazon to find them online or ask your hairdresser if they can get them for you.

@Rach // In Spaces Between – Thanks lovely, would be perfect in your hair!
I love this, so simple yet super chic! Going to rock this one for work today I think, that's for the inspiration lovely x
@Kimberley – it's so easy once you get the hang of it isn't it? An perfect for when your ponytail is a mess too!
@Annabel Candy – I have some chopstick hairstyles coming up soon, I love hairsticks. You'll love how easy this style is.
@Katrina from The Block – Thank you xx
@Megan – I have heard of them but I haven't seen them in Australia. I want to try them!
@Tracy – Don't worry, I have some video tutorials coming up soon too! But give this a try, it really is easy. Let me know how you go!
I follow video better. I'm a hair dunce but trying to learn. Thanks!
I don't know if you have them in Australia but here in the US Goody makes this thing called the Spin Pin…it is amazing. Makes a french twist so easy, super secure even in thick hair. It's like two corkscrew shaped bobby pins. Definitely my favorite hair thing. Kiind of related to this post…
Looks gorgeous!
You can't beat a classic french roll. Normally I just stick one long chopstick down the middle but it doesn't stay in place for long. This looks like a more permanent solution:) Perfect for traveling and at the beach too.
This is my second favorite way to wear my hair. I can do it without a mirror, if necessary. And first love is the ponytail.
