Bella Hadid showed them off on the catwalk, for Chiara Ferragni it’s the perfect look for the summer while Jennifer Lopez loves them in a disheveled version: we’re obviously talking about torchons, the hairstyle that involves two or more buns positioned high on the sides of the head. Full 90s revival (how can we forget Mel B’s hairdo at the time of the Spice Girls) twists are back in fashion, not only to put up your hair in the summer but also to give a somewhat manga and decidedly cheeky allure to your look.
Torchon, how to best make them
THE twists they are not only downright cool but also represent a passepartout solution that easily adapts to any type or length of hair: perfect for a last-minute look when you haven’t had time to shampoo or for those who don’t have too much time to dedicate to hair care; on the contrary, the more messy they are, the more the look will be spot on. But why are torciglioni called like that? The word torchonfrom the French canovaccio, recalls the idea of twist hair to make small “onions” to be fixed on the top of the head. Ideal for give height and volume to straight hair, they are also a winning ally for i curly or wavy hairgoing to eliminate the annoying frizz effect. Making a torchon it is really simple, in fact it is sufficient to divide the hair into two or more sections and twist them one by one around the fingers or even using a brush. After that it is sufficient to have small elastic bands to stop everything, as if you were making a simple chignon. Using a disciplining cream or modeling can be particularly useful for keeping the hair in order for longer.
