For more cute and easy hairstyle ideas, please visit… www.cutegirlshairstyles.com This is a beautiful updo hairstyle that was a suggestion from a fan, Cristina, and we liked it so much that we decided to film our own version and add in an extra third twist. This is different from our Rossette Buns video, which uses bantu knots. These Spiral Twists are flat against the head, and are gorgeous! We did French twistbacks from the front into the ponytail just to add a bit more flair, but you don’t have to. What is nice about these buns is that they can be used in any number of combinations. This is a perfect hairstyle for girls and women of all ages, and can be used as a Prom or Homecoming updo, holiday hairstyle, or any other fun occasions. Enjoy!
