About French Twist Method

The French Twist Method is a hairstyling technique designed to enhance natural curl patterns by twisting and tucking sections of hair to create defined, soft waves or spirals. It emphasizes minimal heat usage, making it ideal for those seeking to reduce damage while achieving a polished look.
