There are few hairstyles as timeless and elegant as the French twist; the updo most famously worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s<\/em> truly has iconic status. That said, sometimes even the classics can benefit from a little updating<\/a>, right? Of course, they can. That’s why we turned to our pal and hair<\/a> guru, Erin Ryser<\/a>, to give this wedding-worthy style<\/a> a refresh.<\/p>\n\"woman\n

Traditionally, a French twist updo is sleek and polished–which can sometimes come off as fussy or old-fashioned. By adding a bit of texture and keeping it looser and undone, Ryser gives the standard formal<\/a> twist a modern spin: It’s still chic and elegant, just with a little extra sexy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\"side\n

We’re thinking this ‘messy’ French twist is pretty perfect wedding-hair inspiration, whether you’re the bride<\/a> or<\/em> a guest<\/a>. Want to see how it’s done? Follow the French twist step-by-step ahead–and check out the full hair<\/a> tutorial video on our Instagram.<\/p>\n\"back\n

French Twist Updo Tutorial Steps:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Tease roots of the hair<\/a> at the crown, then smooth over top to hide tease.<\/li>\n
  2. Run fingers through the hair as you apply medium hold spray.<\/li>\n
  3. Smooth and gather hair at the crown, pinch to center, and pin in both directions, pull on the hair for texture.<\/li>\n
  4. Pull hair from one side across the back and secure with pins in an upward direction.<\/li>\n
  5. Tease the rest of the hair, smooth, exposed side, and roll into a twist.<\/li>\n
  6. Secure with pins pointing upward and crisscrossing from the side.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
