Together, we bring you four seriously sleek celeb ‘dos and show you step-by-step how to mimic them yourself for DIY fierce formal locks.
Look 4: Timeless French Roll with Tyra Banks
Matt says: “This is a classic, glamorous up-style, but it can be quite tricky, so try and practice this look before your big night! It’s actually a modern version of the Classic French Roll.” Find a make-up look that’s perfect for this hairstyle ‘here’.
Get the look:
– Begin by applying some smoothing cream through the lengths of clean, dry locks so that it’s easy to manage.
– Draw your hair as you would into a low-side ponytail.
– Now hold your hair in place at your nape with one hand and with the other hand twist your hair into a rope but make sure it is pointing up (not towards the floor)
– Now you can release the hand holding your hair at the nape of your neck because the hair should be rolled quite tight.
– Next fold the ponytail in half, back towards the base (underneath), so that it doesn’t stick out over the top of your head.
– Using pins, secure your hair along the folded seam so that the pins are hidden being careful to tuck any loose bits under so the look is clean! Note: it may take a few pins, cross them over each other to ensure you have good grip.
– If you have a fringe you can finish this look by curling it and gently brushing it back towards your French roll and securing it in place with bobby pins.
