“U-shape pins work best for a twist.
This allows you to secure the hair without losing volume,” says Rivera.
To insert, take the U-shaped pin and push through the edge of the twist.

Repeat with remaining bobby pins until hair feels secure.
Spray Hair Lightly

A French twist aims to get the hair off of your neck in a classic and refined way.
Shorter to medium-length hair is easier to twist than longer lengths.
Then, insert a large, U-shaped hair pin between the nape of the hair and the top.
Insert the pin with prongs facing up and then diagonal before looping it through hair for a tighter hold.
