Twist updo: 2 tutorials to help you create the look

Start by creating a side parting using the tip of your comb. Then create two sections of hair at the front, using hair clips to help keep them sectioned off.

Next, divide the larger section of hair into two and create a half-up ponytail, securing it with a hairband.

Repeat this process on the other side.

Then using your hands, roughly divide your hair evenly into two sections.

Starting with the left-hand side divide your section of hair into two parts and twist to create a rope braid. When you get to the end of your braid, secure the end of the braid with a clear elastic band.

Wrap and twist your rope twist around your hand, then pin. Repeat on the other side to create a twisted bun.

Release the two sections of hair that we clipped out of the way at the beginning of the tutorial and split each section into two, to create a simple twist. Draw the twist towards the back of your head and discreetly pin above your twisted bun.

Finally, finish off your twist updo with a generous spray of the TRESemmé Extra Hold Hairspray and you’re done!

Before you start this simple updo, wash your hair with the Dove Intensive Repair Shampoo (400ml, £3.69*) and the Dove Intensive Repair Conditioner (350ml, £3.69*). This wash and care system moisturises, conditions and helps to restore your hair’s strength against breakage. Not to mention it’s a great treatment for nourishing dry, damaged hair. Once your hair is clean, apply the VO5 Smoothly Does It Frizz Free Crème (£3.99*) to your mid lengths and ends to help smooth frizz-prone tresses.

Using the tip of your comb, divide your mane into 3 equal sections. You can use section clips to help keep your sections separate.

Twist the middle section of your hair, making sure to hold the top of your twist with one hand while you twist the entire length.

Keep a hold of your twist near the nape of your neck and gently wrap it around to create figure eight-shaped bun.

Once you have created your first twisted bun, use bobby pins to discreetly secure it in place.

Once you have finished creating your middle twisted bun, repeat the process again on the two outer sections of hair you clipped away earlier.

Once you’ve created your 3 twisted buns, finish off your simple updo with a generous mist of the TRESemmé Ultimate Hold Hairspray (500ml, £4.99*), which is fast-drying, non-sticky, and can also help control pesky flyaways and style-destroying frizz. Ta-dah! Your simple updo is complete!
