Pop quiz: how are you doing all of your hair lately? Proper now, my nine-month-old child Emiliano is in that “seize and tug all the pieces” part, so I’ve been searching for kinds that hold my hair out of attain.
For the previous 12 months, I’ve been a fan of claw clips (put on my hair like Rachel Inexperienced? Sure, please.) However these days, I’ve been seeing images of ladies with glossy buns and romantic twists, and peeking out the highest is the elegant curve of a French pin. Listed here are a couple of:
A tight twist, good for dinner dates.
A tidy bun for knocking round at residence or having pals over for snacks.
This tender, tousled twist with untucked ends jogs my memory of Julie Delpy in Earlier than Dawn.
Impressed, I attempted doing a twist. My hair was on day two of a salon blowout, so I wasn’t stunned when each strand stayed in place. If you happen to, too, need a glossy twist, blow dry and clean out any waves with a straighter earlier than wrapping it up. (If you happen to do a twist on air dried hair and have layers, a pair layers will poke out, leaving you with a fairly tousled look.) Listed here are tutorials for lengthy and quick hair.
Subsequent I attempted a prime knot. I spotted that, to make it final, it is best to hook the pin into the piece of the bun that’s above the bun tail, then weave the pin beneath the tail and straight into your bun. This method anchors your hair down. I actually like this TikTok video, which provides step-by-step directions.
Lastly, hold the pin poking out. A part of the allure is seeing the beautiful pin on the prime, don’t you assume? I’ve been loving the maintain of this Goal one, and I even have my eye on this cool tortoise quantity.
Ideas? Would put on a French pin (or have you ever)? I plan to put on these simple updos all fall.
