" &amp;quot;Twists are easy, anyone can create one,&amp;quot; stylist Mark Townsend told Cosmo when we asked about the twists he&amp;#039;s been doing on celebs lately. &amp;quot;I was sick of doing braids\u2014especially after award season\u2014and wanted to mix it up, so I started playing around with twisted hairstyles.&amp;quot; And BOOM, before we knew it, he had Catching Fire&amp;#039;s Jennifer Lawrence and Willow Shields (shown above) wearing this style on the red carpet. Townsend explained that all you do is decide where you want the twist(s) to go and spray the section of hair with dry shampoo before you start coiling it. &amp;quot;You don&amp;#039;t want the twists to be too sleek or they will loosen up, so coating the section with dry shampoo first, like Dove STYLE+care Invigorating Dry Shampoo, $5, drugstore.com, will keep it from coming loose, since the starch in dry shampoo creates a good kind of friction that holds the hair in place,&amp;quot; he says. To keep the twist from unraveling, try Townsend&amp;#039;s tress trick: &amp;quot;Spray two bobby pins with dry shampoo to give them more grip, and then slip the bobby pins into the hair in an &amp;quot;X&amp;quot; formation to keep it from untwisting.&amp;quot; Voila\u2014easy breezy, right? But wait, it gets better. On top of the fact that everyone and their mother can pull off and execute this hairstyle, what&amp;#039;s even cooler about this hair trend is that there&amp;#039;s no sign of it slowing down post-summer. We saw versions of the twist at the fall 2013 Elie Saab fashion show and more recently on the runway at the Valentino Haute Couture Paris show for fall/winter 2013-14 (both shown below).  Twisted low buns at Elie Saab...  And side twists into low buns at Valentino.  Oh, and there&amp;#039;s been one more sighting on Amy Heideman (shown below) of Karmin in her latest video for &amp;quot;Acapella,&amp;quot; which we highly suggest you watch the premiere of here.  So, Cosmo girls, will you be rocking a twist to mix up your summer hairstyles this season and beyond? Because we will.
