Last week, the beautiful Duchess of Edinburgh went to numerous events and we just loved her hair. The blonde beauty's mane always looks incredible - and never more so than when she visited an army barracks in Bulford.
It was teased into a style known as a 'French Twist' - a classic updo, where hair is gathered and twisted up, and secured with a clip of some description. Sophie used a gold clasp for hers and it looked so chic.

Natalia explains: "The French Twist is a timeless updo for any occasion."

The French twist is a stylish and adaptable hairstyle, with just a few simple steps, you can create a look that suits any occasion. They can be sleek and glamorous, or messy and undone, and also fits beautifully on any hair length."
How to Create a French Twist
"Gather your hair. Sweep all your hair to one side and secure it with bobby pins; hold your hair in place with bobby pins at the back. Twist your hair - twist the gathered hair up along the back of your head. Tuck loose ends away into the twist. Then secure with U-shaped hair pins which are designed to give extra hold."

If you want more of an undone, messy style, leave a few strands out for a relaxed vibe. You could also add accessories. Decorative pins or flowers can elevate your look. And lastly, I would always say to try and use a French Comb to achieve this look at home easily, making it simpler to secure your twist."
