You all have been very patient, and I am finally going to show you all how to do the bang twist – the hair style I previewed on twitter a few weeks ago. It’s a pretty rocking style if I do say so myself.
As I mention above, you will want to watch the Bang Braid video I posted. It will explain the whole “pulling only from the front” thing.
Also, You can do this with bangs of any length, but know the shorter the bangs the more random pieces you’ll have sticking up.
Finally, the most common question I get when I post tutorials is, “I have fine hair, how can I make this work for me?” I will tell you! The best thing you can do is apply hair spray or mouse, anything that will give your hair some added texture. Once it’s dry, run your fingers or a comb through the area, then style. It should give your hair enough grab to hold the style.
Any questions? Let me know!

“Bang Twist” sounds like a sultry dance move performed in a rap video.
Thanks for the tutorial, Heather! I’m growing out my bangs and styles like this are a lifesaver.
I *love* your hair tutorials! Someday when I have longer hair again I will definitely give them a try. Keep ‘em coming!

I do the same thing, only I have always gone front over back instead of back over front. I shall try your way and see what happens!

My hair is pixie short, that won’t work with me. Heather, you are a very lovely lady, your girls and Mike are so lucky to have you in their lives! I’m going to have my daughter look at this video, as she has long hair. I think it will look pretty on her. Thank you!!
Heather, you are the epitome of saucy!!!
Love the tutorials, keep them coming! Me and my daughter are rockin’ our saucy hair today! Thanks!
i just needed to let you know that I am going to try this
my hair is usually pulled back in a nasty tangled bun, but i think this might work! thanks!
I love these tutorials!! Keep ‘em comin!
Your videos make me wish I had straight hair!! the hairstyles look MUCH cuter with straight hair than they do curly.
You are so freakin’ adorable.

I swear, I was about to write the same comment. So adorable!
You are just the cutest thing ever in these videos, Heather, and your voice is so soothing,,I could listen to you all day long!!
Another one to try, thanks! I have used the bang braid and the “updo” thingy quite a few times already. I can’t believe how well taking hair only from the front works. Did you come up with that on your own, see it somewhere? Just curious, I’ve tried the bang braid before and it always looked…weird. This is great, you can manipulate your hair better this way.
Also, love the fireplace and wall colors together in your video…very nice.
Thanks!
I do this like once a week, I love it!
If I ever get my hair long again. I will have to try it. It looked very nice on you.:)
LOVE IT! i just tried it and it looked awesome. i did just the side with the deeper part and put a funky headband on too. it looks adorable, thanks so much!
“Bang twist” sounds like a naughty bedroom maneuver that would have me in a back brace for 6 to 8 weeks. ha ha!
I came on here with the intention of sending you an email begging for another hair tutorial and HERE ONE IS! You are clearly a mind reader. I have just tried it, and if I say so myself, I look H A W T. Thank you Heather! You really are some sort of good-hair genie.
Hmm, that is cute. I like it. I have extremely thin hair around the temples though. I think I’ll try it at home and maybe doing groceries before I debut it – assuming it comes out decent.

How freaking stunning are you!? OMG!
I am a HUGE fan of this hairstyle, and this tutorial was wicked AWESOME at breaking it down.
You are the hair queen, Spohr, I bow to you!

I am so jealous of your hair skills! My poor daughter Rylin who is only 8 months and barely has any hair, will be lucky if I can pull off any type of braid, let alone these fancy hair styles! You go girl!!!
I have a question-
How do you grow such beautiful hair?
Sigh- I enjoyed watching the video because growing up, I always wanted thick, long hair. Mine’s rather thin and prone to curling in odd ways. You do have the coolest hair techniques, though!
OK…super cute…tried it on my daughter today…I twisted it all the way to the end and put an elastic at the end…but as soon as i let go it untwisted
must have done something wrong…gonna have to try again!! lol thanks for the hair tutorials!
With 5 daughters, this is going to come in handy! They all have long hair…well, except the baby — but hers will be long soon enough.
Love it! Thanks for sharing

Heather, I want to thank you for these tutorials. I’m student teaching and I have the side swoopy bangs and shoulder length hair. The school I’m teaching in doesn’t have a/c, so there have been days where pulling my hair back has been absolutely necessary. The problem is that it isn’t really long enough to do a pony (plus that’s not very professional looking), so I’ve been doing the bang braid and then pulling it back. It makes it look a little fancier. So thanks so much! The pulling from the front tip was especially helpful!
Love it! Another great tip for fine hair to hold braids, twists, or buns: tease it. Just a little. I know *gasp* it’s a horrible thing to do to your hair. Just tease it a little before you braid it, gives it a lot more volume and it holds its braid much better. I was always a fan of teasing my ponytail and then braiding it– the result was a big thick braid that was about 3 times the width of my normal braids. Plus it helps with flyaways!

Thank you so much for these tutorials! My daughter and I have super thick hair and our go-to style is the ponytail, which is getting rather boring. Your tutorials are such wonderful (and stylish!) alternatives – we love them! Thanks again!
Thank you for the idea!! I did this for my daughter before she went to work except I did the twist across the back ending in a side pony. When she came home she said customers were stopping her and asking how she did her hair:)) I really appreciate your hair ideas and your entire blog. On a side note, I love getting up in the morning to see what you have to say…most days you crack me up:)
Thanks,
Jamie
Thanks again for the awesome hair tutorial! I will be doing this to Ella in the morning. She has worn the fish tail braid every day since you posted the video. She LOVES it! Today was crazy hair day at school so we did the tease and go/Something about Mary(but not really) look. I can give you a tutorial on that
thanks for posting these videos! i’ve been sporting the bang twist three days in a row now!
I can’t wait for my hair to grow out again so I can rock this!
I seriously use this ALL of the time. I never would have gotten this on my own, but love that it still looks put together in a hurry!
It really is so nice to get those bangs out of your face every once in a while. Thanks for the video to demonstrate!
