A timeless updo with decades of history, the classic style\u2014defined by hair tucked into a sleek roll\u2014is officially back and cooler than ever. Once reserved for red carpets, weddings, galas, and proms, the French roll has broken free of formalwear only. Today, it&#8217;s showing up at chic girls&#8217; nights out, festive birthday dinners, and just-because moments that call for a little unexpected drama. The girls are pairing French rolls with edgy leather dresses, crisp button-ups, baggy jeans, sweat sets, and even sneakers. In other words, the French roll doesn&#8217;t discriminate.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> If you&#8217;ve got a fancy-schmancy event on the calendar\u2014or you&#8217;re simply looking to play around with your look\u2014we&#8217;re breaking down the French roll revival, how to pull it off, and the products you&#8217;ll need.\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_5-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-callout--meetourexpert beauty-sc-block-callout mntl-sc-block-callout mntl-block theme-meetourexpert\" data-tracking-id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout\" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-heading_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-heading mntl-text-block\">Meet the Experts<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-body_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-body mntl-text-block\">\n<ul>\n<li>Lona Vigi is a celebrity hairstylist whose client list includes Reese Witherspoon, Kelsea Ballerini, and Kate Hudson.<\/li>\n<li>Jeremy Pugh is a Los Angeles and New York-based hairstylist.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Derick Monroe is an Emmy-nominated hairstylist whose client list includes Tyra Banks and Ren\u00e9e Elise Goldsberry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_6-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> What Is a French Roll? <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_7-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Not to be confused with a baked good, the French roll is an updo where the hair is gathered, twisted vertically into a roll, and secured with pins or a comb. While traditional looks featured all the hair neatly combed back, today it&#8217;s all about the money pieces. &#8220;It&#8217;s not as structured as the original French roll or twist, it&#8217;s softer,&#8221; Vigi says.\n<\/p>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_9-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1998\" alt=\"A person wearing a halter top standing in front of a curtain\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_1-0\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/502718777_18333003598163548_7831586874762018367_n-7d0ed017ee70473085b4c629e1d5af71.webp\" title=\"502718777_18333003598163548_7831586874762018367_n-7d0ed017ee70473085b4c629e1d5af71\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/502718777_18333003598163548_7831586874762018367_n-7d0ed017ee70473085b4c629e1d5af71.webp\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1998\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"A person wearing a halter top standing in front of a curtain\" title=\"502718777_18333003598163548_7831586874762018367_n-7d0ed017ee70473085b4c629e1d5af71\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>@theassassin \/ instagram<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_10-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Pugh echoes similar sentiments. &#8220;It should look effortless, and recent versions have added playful bang pieces to keep it modern,&#8221; he says. &#8220;I like to leave some softness around the hairline or let the ends be a bit more flippy and free because it makes it more romantic, which is the vibe we&#8217;re after. The texture should look touchable, not super-sprayed down.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Why Is It Trending?\u00a0 <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> The timing makes sense: this year is all about pursuing peace, serenity, and fun chaos, so our hair should reflect that energy. &#8220;It&#8217;s a classic beauty [look] redefined for 2026 with a little bit of an edgy aesthetic,&#8221; Vigi says. &#8220;It&#8217;s grown up.

It can be dressed up or kept casual.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_20-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> How to Get the Look\u00a0 <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_21-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> According to Monroe, the first thing you have to keep in mind is length. &#8220;If you have long hair, it can be slightly easier to [do this style] because you can use [the extra length] as your base to secure [the roll],&#8221; he shares. &#8220;If you have slightly shorter hair, you can always use foam rollers or &#8216;stuffing hair,&#8217; which is synthetic hair wrapped in a net, which you&#8217;d then wrap your natural hair around.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_23-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"Woman with an elegant updo hairstyle being styled in a salon\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_3-0\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/frenchtwist7-77f413c939a344b88e39ee2287e9019c.webp\" title=\"frenchtwist7-77f413c939a344b88e39ee2287e9019c\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/frenchtwist7-77f413c939a344b88e39ee2287e9019c.webp\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Woman with an elegant updo hairstyle being styled in a salon\" title=\"frenchtwist7-77f413c939a344b88e39ee2287e9019c\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>@justinemarjan \/ instagram<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_24-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Pugh notes that the secret to a good French twist is the foundation. He starts by prepping the hair with a dry-texture spray or a light volumizing mousse to add grip. He then gathers the hair to create a vertical base of bobby pins that criss-cross up the center. &#8220;This gives you an anchor and criss-crossing gives you a stronger hold,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Then, I roll and fold the hair over and use large hairpins to secure the roll into that pinned base. Using hairpins instead of just bobby pins allows the hair to sit naturally while staying incredibly secure.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_26-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-callout--tips beauty-sc-block-callout mntl-sc-block-callout mntl-block theme-tips\" data-tracking-id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout\" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-heading_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-heading mntl-text-block\">Byrdie Tip<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-body_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-body mntl-text-block\">\n<p>&#8220;If your hair is fine, use a volumizing powder before you start pinning because it will help create shape,&#8221; Pugh says. &#8220;For coily or natural hair, I love using the natural volume to create a more architectural shape. The goal is to always work with the hair&#8217;s natural texture rather than fighting against it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_27-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"A person wearing an elegant outfit glances back while standing in front of a wooden wall\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_4-0\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/frenchtwist9-4b571bd0d69646aaadb598fc3c505089.webp\" title=\"frenchtwist9-4b571bd0d69646aaadb598fc3c505089\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/frenchtwist9-4b571bd0d69646aaadb598fc3c505089.webp\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"A person wearing an elegant outfit glances back while standing in front of a wooden wall\" title=\"frenchtwist9-4b571bd0d69646aaadb598fc3c505089\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>@bycestlazee \/ instagram<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_28-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Monroe emphasizes that this new version of the French roll is less about perfection, so don&#8217;t &#8220;worry about it being super smooth.&#8221; The goal is simply to secure the style and maintain its shape.

He starts by prepping the hair with a dry-texture spray or a light volumizing mousse to add grip. He then gathers the hair to create a vertical base of bobby pins that criss-cross up the center. &#8220;This gives you an anchor and criss-crossing gives you a stronger hold,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Then, I roll and fold the hair over and use large hairpins to secure the roll into that pinned base. Using hairpins instead of just bobby pins allows the hair to sit naturally while staying incredibly secure.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_26-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-callout--tips beauty-sc-block-callout mntl-sc-block-callout mntl-block theme-tips\" data-tracking-id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout\" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-heading_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-heading mntl-text-block\">Byrdie Tip<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-body_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-body mntl-text-block\">\n<p>&#8220;If your hair is fine, use a volumizing powder before you start pinning because it will help create shape,&#8221; Pugh says. &#8220;For coily or natural hair, I love using the natural volume to create a more architectural shape. The goal is to always work with the hair&#8217;s natural texture rather than fighting against it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_27-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"A person wearing an elegant outfit glances back while standing in front of a wooden wall\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_4-0\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/frenchtwist9-4b571bd0d69646aaadb598fc3c505089.webp\" title=\"frenchtwist9-4b571bd0d69646aaadb598fc3c505089\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/frenchtwist9-4b571bd0d69646aaadb598fc3c505089.webp\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"A person wearing an elegant outfit glances back while standing in front of a wooden wall\" title=\"frenchtwist9-4b571bd0d69646aaadb598fc3c505089\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>@bycestlazee \/ instagram<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_28-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Monroe emphasizes that this new version of the French roll is less about perfection, so don&#8217;t &#8220;worry about it being super smooth.&#8221; The goal is simply to secure the style and maintain its shape.

He starts by prepping the hair with a dry-texture spray or a light volumizing mousse to add grip. He then gathers the hair to create a vertical base of bobby pins that criss-cross up the center. &#8220;This gives you an anchor and criss-crossing gives you a stronger hold,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Then, I roll and fold the hair over and use large hairpins to secure the roll into that pinned base. Using hairpins instead of just bobby pins allows the hair to sit naturally while staying incredibly secure.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_26-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-callout--tips beauty-sc-block-callout mntl-sc-block-callout mntl-block theme-tips\" data-tracking-id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout\" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-heading_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-heading mntl-text-block\">Byrdie Tip<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-body_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-body mntl-text-block\">\n<p>&#8220;If your hair is fine, use a volumizing powder before you start pinning because it will help create shape,&#8221; Pugh says. &#8220;For coily or natural hair, I love using the natural volume to create a more architectural shape. The goal is to always work with the hair&#8217;s natural texture rather than fighting against it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_27-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"A person wearing an elegant outfit glances back while standing in front of a wooden wall\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_4-0\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/frenchtwist9-4b571bd0d69646aaadb598fc3c505089.webp\" title=\"frenchtwist9-4b571bd0d69646aaadb598fc3c505089\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/frenchtwist9-4b571bd0d69646aaadb598fc3c505089.webp\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"A person wearing an elegant outfit glances back while standing in front of a wooden wall\" title=\"frenchtwist9-4b571bd0d69646aaadb598fc3c505089\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>@bycestlazee \/ instagram<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_28-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Monroe emphasizes that this new version of the French roll is less about perfection, so don&#8217;t &#8220;worry about it being super smooth.&#8221; The goal is simply to secure the style and maintain its shape.

It can be dressed up or kept casual.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_20-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> How to Get the Look\u00a0 <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_21-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> According to Monroe, the first thing you have to keep in mind is length. &#8220;If you have long hair, it can be slightly easier to [do this style] because you can use [the extra length] as your base to secure [the roll],&#8221; he shares. &#8220;If you have slightly shorter hair, you can always use foam rollers or &#8216;stuffing hair,&#8217; which is synthetic hair wrapped in a net, which you&#8217;d then wrap your natural hair around.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_23-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"Woman with an elegant updo hairstyle being styled in a salon\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_3-0\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/frenchtwist7-77f413c939a344b88e39ee2287e9019c.webp\" title=\"frenchtwist7-77f413c939a344b88e39ee2287e9019c\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/frenchtwist7-77f413c939a344b88e39ee2287e9019c.webp\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Woman with an elegant updo hairstyle being styled in a salon\" title=\"frenchtwist7-77f413c939a344b88e39ee2287e9019c\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>@justinemarjan \/ instagram<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_24-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Pugh notes that the secret to a good French twist is the foundation. He starts by prepping the hair with a dry-texture spray or a light volumizing mousse to add grip. He then gathers the hair to create a vertical base of bobby pins that criss-cross up the center. &#8220;This gives you an anchor and criss-crossing gives you a stronger hold,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Then, I roll and fold the hair over and use large hairpins to secure the roll into that pinned base. Using hairpins instead of just bobby pins allows the hair to sit naturally while staying incredibly secure.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_26-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-callout--tips beauty-sc-block-callout mntl-sc-block-callout mntl-block theme-tips\" data-tracking-id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout\" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-heading_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-heading mntl-text-block\">Byrdie Tip<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-body_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-body mntl-text-block\">\n<p>&#8220;If your hair is fine, use a volumizing powder before you start pinning because it will help create shape,&#8221; Pugh says. &#8220;For coily or natural hair, I love using the natural volume to create a more architectural shape. The goal is to always work with the hair&#8217;s natural texture rather than fighting against it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_27-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"A person wearing an elegant outfit glances back while standing in front of a wooden wall\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_4-0\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/frenchtwist9-4b571bd0d69646aaadb598fc3c505089.webp\" title=\"frenchtwist9-4b571bd0d69646aaadb598fc3c505089\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/frenchtwist9-4b571bd0d69646aaadb598fc3c505089.webp\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"A person wearing an elegant outfit glances back while standing in front of a wooden wall\" title=\"frenchtwist9-4b571bd0d69646aaadb598fc3c505089\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>@bycestlazee \/ instagram<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_28-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Monroe emphasizes that this new version of the French roll is less about perfection, so don&#8217;t &#8220;worry about it being super smooth.&#8221; The goal is simply to secure the style and maintain its shape.
