The French twist is one of the most iconic and timeless hairstyles—perfect for formal occasions, workdays, or a chic everyday look. If you want to master this classic updo, the secret lies in the right tool: the French pleat hair comb. Whether you have thick or fine hair, French twist hair combs are a versatile accessory that can elevate your hairstyle with minimal effort.
How to Use French Twist Hair Combs?
Using a French twist hair comb is easier than you might think, but it does take a bit of practice. The comb’s unique shape is designed to secure your hair in place without needing elastics or pins. Here’s a simple step-by-step to get started:
- Start by gathering your hair at the nape of your neck as if you’re about to make a low ponytail.
- Twist the hair upwards, keeping it close to your scalp.
- Tuck the ends of your hair into the twist as you continue rolling upwards.
- Slide the French pleat comb into the roll from the top, teeth facing downwards, so that it holds the twist securely in place.
How to Do a French Twist for Beginners?
If you're new to the French twist, don’t worry—it may seem tricky at first, but with a few tries, you’ll be a pro. Here’s a beginner-friendly approach:
- Start with slightly textured hair, either by using dry shampoo or gently backcombing for extra grip.
- Sweep your hair to one side and secure it with bobby pins.
- Begin twisting the hair from the ends upward, guiding it towards the center of your head.
- Once you've created a tight roll, tuck in any loose ends and insert the French twist hair comb, teeth facing your scalp.
- Gently push the comb down into the twist, ensuring it’s holding everything securely in place.
This method works for both fine and thick hair—you just need to adjust your twisting technique to suit your hair type. For thicker hair, use a wider comb to ensure a firm grip, while fine hair may benefit from a smaller, more delicate comb. For long fine hair, our 12cm French Pleat Comb is best suited and for thick hair, try our Curved French Pleat Comb.
How to Wear Hair Combs with Short Hair?
Don’t be discouraged if you have short hair—French twist combs aren’t just for long hair. Here’s how to make them work for you:
- Start by adding some texture to your hair with a texturising spray or light teasing to create volume.
- Gather the top section of your hair and twist it upwards as much as possible.
- Insert the comb into the base of the twist or roll, using the teeth to secure the hair at your scalp.
- For shorter hair, you can also create a mini-French twist by twisting small sections and pinning them with the comb for a chic, half-up style.
Whether you're mastering a French twist comb for thick hair, looking for an easy way to style fine hair, or finding a chic solution for short hair, the French pleat comb is a versatile accessory you need in your collection.
