  2. Separate the top part of your hair how you would normally do for a half up hairstyle leaving some front pieces out to frame your face.
  3. While holding the hair, secure it at the bottom of your section on the right with a bobby pin angling it upwards and slightly to the left.
  4. Twist your section clockwise one time just above the bobby pin. While still holding your section start gently pulling some hair up.
  5. Take another pin and slide it through your twist to the right then push it against your head and slide it to the left. Repeat a few times until your twist is secured.
