Whether Lindsay Lohan is blonde, brunette or redhead with
tresses to her waist or a short bob style, she's definitely a hair
trend setter.
While its true that Lindsay has the very best hair, make-up and
fashion experts at her constant fingertips, she definitely channels
her own style vision.
In late September 2005 Lindsay appeared on the red
carpet at the star studded Teen Vogue Young Hollywood
Issue Release Party.
The lovely Lindsay created a stir with her
own version of the classic French Twist updo style which
never goes out of style.
Lindsay proved the point
by combining her soft messy twist with a flirty white
gown that was pure gorgeous goddess.
French Twist In An Instant
Lindsay understands how to take a hard core classic twist and
make it her own in an instant. For the Teen Vogue party she
adopted a version of the elegant and sleek French twist that started
with a lot of soft fullness built into the sides and the crown area.
The height that extended from the front of her
hairline towards the back twisted section, added a
perfect balance to her square shaped face.
Depending on the style Lindsay is wearing at the
time, her face shape morphs between square and oval. Sometimes her jaw line appears more prominent than
at other
times. Again, this is a reflection of the
hairstyle she's adopted.
The actual twisted updo section was created with precision,
but it's designed to give the impression of tousled
messiness.

The actual twisted section was created with precision but designed
to give the impression of a "just out of bed" messiness.
A French Twist style, whether soft and flirty or more defined, is
perfect for adding a wide range of hair accessories ranging from
skinny crystal encrusted headbands or a flirtier array of sparking
beads and rhinestones.
Step By Step Instructions -
French Twist Style
Listed below are the detailed steps to recreate Lindsay's spectacular French Twist style:
1. Cleanse hair with product designed for your hair type,
texture and length. If you prefer, cleanse your hair with a
Diluted Shampoo (DS) formula, Conditioner Only (CO), Water Only (WO)
or a combination.
Keep in mind that hair that is allowed to "age" a
few hours may be less slippery to work with than
hair that is freshly washed.
2. Apply a
rinse-out conditioning product
designed for your hair type, texture and condition.
3. Finish with a cool or cold water rinse to close cuticle
and encourage shine.

4. Towel blot tresses to remove excess water.
5. Apply
detangling or leave-in/detangler and working from the
ends to the roots, carefully detangle strands. Create desired
parting (front, side, high or low).
6. When hair is completely detangled, apply a styling
cocktail that includes a mixture of leave-in conditioner and/or
styling cream or mousse.
If your hair is naturally curly or wavy, you may
wish to apply a straightening balm or defrisant.
Note: If your hair requires extra hold
you may wish to apply a styling glaze and/or gel in
addition to a leave-in product.
7. Use a blow dryer set on medium heat and a large
flat paddle brush. Separate hair into 2-4 inch sections with one hand as you direct the heat down
the shaft from the roots to the ends with the blow dryer.
8. Continue to work completely around your head from side to side
working with individual sections until the entire
head has been completely dried and straightened.
9. Brush hair smoothly back from your forehead
using the boar's bristle paddle brush. If
necessary use a flat iron to remove and bends, wrinkles or other
unwanted texture.

10. Use your fingers to gather hair into a loose
ponytail with the base situated at the nape of your neck.
Note: Do not anchor
the ponytail with a bungee, Blax or elastic band.
This will alter the shape of the twist.
Encircle & hold the base of the newly formed pony with your thumb and index finger
of your right hand.
11. Hold the base of the ponytail in your left hand.
With your right, hold its end up, pointing
toward the ceiling.
12. With your left hand, twist the pony hair in a
clockwise direction lifting the pony hair up towards
the ceiling as you continue to twist hair. Continuing twisting the pony hair until it forms
a hair roll.
Note: If your hair is exceptionally long or
thick, you may need to fold the hair over to form
two rolls. Blend the two rolls into one before
pinning into place against the scalp.
13. Create a "seam" by tucking bobby pins along
either side of the twist where the hair roll
meets your scalp starting at the bottom.
14. Place bobby pins all along both seams up to the
top of the roll, concealing them just under the
roll.

15. When hair has been completely pinned and is ready to be
finished, spray the entire head with a firm hold hairspray.
16. Finish with a
light spritz of hairspray and a light application of
shine spray or drops carefully palmed over the top of the waves to
prevent them from getting too much product which can make hair
greasy or oily. Remember, a little goes a long way.
17. Attach desired hair accessories such as a single
flower, jeweled accent clips or barrettes.
18. This style looks stunning with either a strapless gown to show
off your shoulders or a halter top gown, as shown above.
Summary
The classic French twist, elegant and sleek, is perfect for
special Prom and Party Hair events.
The modern French twist, a flirty modification to the classic, is
good for cocktail parties, work or a night out on the town.
