Gwen Stefani always knows how to turn a simple twist into an iconic hairstyle! This style might look difficult to recreate at home but it is fairly simple. Straighten your hair so that you can twist your hair easily. This style is ideal for those with medium to thick hair densities. Thin hair will not hold this style well. Pin your hair up and place the sides up with a twist motion to achieve the twisted style at the top. These twists ensure that her hair does not fall flat when placed up and adds height to this style. The height helps to elongate her face shape , making it perfect for those with rounder face shapes and those with a low forehead. The rest of her hair has been gently curled and cascades down her neck and over her shoulder. This helps to balance the overall look. Once you are done styling your hair, sleek back your hair with product to get the formal finish that Gwen Stefani has. Do not forget to add a few extra bobby pins if your hair is heavy to ensure that this look stays in place throughout your event. Keep up with regular trims to ensure that your ends stay healthy and to reduce the appearance of split ends.

When planning your makeup application, you can do something bold like Gwen has done with colored glitter to bring out the color of your eyes paired with false lashes. A wing linger will also work well with this hairstyle. Due to the openness of this style, ensure that your skin application is perfect. Finish off your look with a gloss lipstick finish and you are ready to show off your new and exciting up-style!
