Formal events, parties or a Friday night out all present fun opportunities to experiment with unique looks. Dressing long hair can be super fun and quick too.

Twisty Hawk

A sweet and romantic take on the Femme-Hawk.





How To Style:
1. Prep clean, dry hair with a light-hold working hairspray.
2. Section off the entire right side, then begin an underhand French braid. Lace the hair strands up and over (instead of under) to create a puffy effect.
3. Next, move to the top fringe section. Take this section, pull the hair straight up and lightly backcomb. Gather hair and hold three inches from the ends. Then, loosely twist the hair down and secure with bobby pins.
4. Continue this technique while working your way down to the nape area, creating loose twisty curls to resemble a mohawk style.
5. Now, move to the left temple area and twist hair into a knot and secure with a bobby pin.
6. To keep this look soft, pull some strands out and allow those curls to fall.
