Master The French Twist
Apply Oribe Foundation Mist on dry hair and section the top crown, creating a large V-shaped section. Make an almond-shaped section from the curvature of the head to the nape of the neck, leaving the hairline out.
Braid the middle section below the crown and above the nape into a flat braid and tie with an elastic.
Attach the entire braid by wrapping it around the base of the braid, keeping it flat to the head, and secure.
Blow out the remaining hair with a medium-round brush, using a combination of Foundation Mist and Oribe Supershine Light Moisturizing Cream.

Allow the hair to set and cool.
Starting from the front middle section, working toward the back, lace the remaining length of hair ends. For the sides, start in the back then work toward the front. Once the shape and parting are decided, lightly comb hair into place.
Once the front is set, gather the hair and twist into shape, keeping the tail out. Hold the tail and twist into a full French twist. Release the tail and secure into the flat braid base. Set with Oribe Superfine Hair Spray.
