- Hi, I'm Giovanni Giuntoli, and I'm a professional hairstylist. Today, I'm going to share with you how to create texture in your up-do by using twists. So, for Chloe, we're going to create a done, undone up-do. With all the highlight and color in her hair, it's going to help add dimension and depth to her hair just by twisting the hair. You'll see how quickly and easily we're able to achieve this, all of her hair being put up in order to enhance her face shape and open up her neck. To make the styling easier for you, there's a few key tools that you'll need to have on hand. You'll need long, three-inch hair pins, tail comb, and your finishing brush. To help create dimension, some shine, and more pliability when working with the twists, I'm going to choose to work with Redken's Wax Blast 10. We're going to spray the product on fairly liberally in order to, again, create some texture in the hair so the hair doesn't slip out of our fingers. Comb through to make sure that it's evenly distributed, and to prepare your section around the hairline for twisting. So, whether you wear a side part, center part, or no part, you can work with what feels best for you, and what looks the best for you as well. I'm going to start on the heavy side, the side that you part your hair to. I'm going to ask my model to tip her head a little. We're going to take a long section, and we're going to divide this section into two. We're going to twist this front section away from the face, so going towards your back, taking these two and adding a twist again away from the face. Grabbing another section, we're going to once again keep twisting everything away from the face, joining those two, pinching them together, and rolling. We're going to continue this all the way down to the nape of the hair. Twist away from the face, take, twist it, and add it in. And you'll see, as I keep taking more and more sections, there is texture and dimension added around her hairline. When wanting more texture, take smaller sections. You'll end up with more sections, leading to more texture. When wanting a more smoother, softer feel, you'll take larger sections, and also less sections, so you'll have a much smoother feel to the finish. We're going to keep working our way down, and as you'll see, I'm picking up all the length of Chloe's hair, again, continuously driving this hair, twisting it back away from her face in order to open up her jawline and her neck. Now that we have both sides finished into both two twists down the middle of the back of the head, we have two strands ending up. You guessed it, we're going to take these ends, and we're going to twist these ends together as well. Twisting it all the way down until it blends in. Then, you can take these ends, and as you twist, it will naturally want to collapse on itself. That's where you'll take your long pins into the shape at the scalp, pull it down, and secure it. To finish the look, and to control any of the little flyaways, I'm going to go back with a little bit of the spray wax just to clean up around this halo effect around the style. As you'll see, on Chloe's face shape, this romantic shape that comes across when we really pull everything, and we follow around the hairline. This is a very versatile look, and as you can see, it's very quick and easy to achieve. You can play with more height on the roll in order to add more lift, or you can keep it low as you see here in order to give it more of a romantic feel. Play with the ends - keep them out, tuck them in - totally up to you. So, there you have it. This is a way to get an updo with texture using twists. My name is Giovanni Giuntoli, and thank you for watching.
