The Effortless French Pin Updo You’ll Wear All Holiday Season

If you’ve ever envied that perfectly undone French twist—the one that somehow looks both intentional and effortless—this tutorial is for you. Perfect for holiday dinners or when you’re running late for a party, the Kitsch Metal French Pin makes it easy to pull your hair together in seconds.

How to Create the Look

Step 1. Gather your hair

Start by taking all your hair into both hands as if you were putting it into a low ponytail. 

Step 2. Twist and lift

Wrap your hair around two fingers, then pull your fingers upward to create a twist. Use your other hand to hold the shape in place. You should start to see that elegant French roll forming.

Step 3. Secure with Kitsch French Hair Pin

Take your Kitsch Metal French Pin and insert it from the bottom of your twist, rounded side down. Once it feels snug, flip the pin upward to lock the style in place.

Step 4. Perfect the undone finish

Gently loosen a few strands around the pin. This is what gives it that classic “done/undone” French-girl finish.
