Hot Celebrity Hairstyle Trend: Twists

From tight knots to loose coils, these hairstyles put a new twist on practical elegance

Debra Messing Messing's elegant French twist works best with medium to long hair. To get this look, create a loose ponytail at the nape of your neck, but don't secure it. Hold the ponytail with your hands and start twisting until you feel it tightening against your head. Point it upright and fold the end of your ponytail down. Tuck the ends down using your thumb and use bobby pins to hold the hair in place. You can add a hair accessory like Messing's to draw more attention to your red carpet worthy look.

I like Ashley Green's hair. Yes, these looks are a little messy, but that keeps them from looking too formal, and it also makes them easier to do quickly!

alot of these are very sloppy and unpolished looking. i can do better w/o a mirror..but overall a very nice idea.
