Boho Twist and Tuck Hair-Do Tutorial

The Boho Twist and Tuck is a really easy hair style that literally takes 3-5 minutes, and the end result looks as though you've  had your hair professionally done!I frequently style my hair in this fashion for both day time and night time looks. It has a very elegant old-school/boho look to it, and goes really well with any sort of attire. So first things first, all you need is an elastic headband and some bobby pins.


The headband twist hairstyle works best for just above the shoulder to mid-back hair lengths. It even works for curls and thick hair- however you just might need more bobby pins to secure the style.



Step by step:

1. Start by tying the band around your head. Make sure that it lays right at your front hairline and ties just below the mid-point at the back of your head.

2. Begin at the front on one side with a small section on hair. Twist the section backwards many times.

3. Wrap the twist tightly around the headband as many times as it will go around.

4. Now take another section of hair from directly behind your first twist. Begin twisting it back, twisting in the tail of your first one.

5. Wrap this section around the headband, leaving a tail at the end.

6. Now leave the tail hanging down and start at the front on the other side. Repeat  the same steps above on the second side.

7. With the remaining hair in the very back, twist it and wrap it and tuck it around the band. It may seem messy at first, but just keep tucking in the loose piece (remember that the key to getting this boho hair-do right is to tuck and pin once you are done wrapping.

This glam hair style is also hugely popular on pintrest, check out this link for some more boho-chic inspiration!
