What is 'banane' as relates to hair accessories?
Any suggestions for FR-EN hair/beauty dictionaries would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Mais on se sert d'une banane comme un chignon. C'est la mode pour faire un volume dans les cheveux, et ensuite s'en servir pour y ajouter des accessoires, surtout pour les femmes. Les Africaines sont les spécialistes.
On dit aussi un "chignon banane". |

| Using the French Twist as your basis
Erklärung:
Hello,
You start out doing as you would if you were to create a French Twist (chignon de banane). However, the classic French Twist is not at all the goal.
Don't you bring all your hair together and then put it into a pony tail in order to make a French Twist? I'm far from sure. I'm not hair expert here. LOL.
I hope this helps.

| french pleat
Erklärung:
I don't think it's an accessory but means "following the same principle as the French pleat". You can find pictures of a French pleat on Google.
Not 100% sure. The French is very bad...

Hmmm... it could be a quiff too as per Catherine's answer but I don't see where the pony tail comes in then. A picture would be useful, wouldn't it?

I do think that the hair is folded and twiste at the back, like for a "chignon banane" (french pleat or french twist). Then the very top is gathered into a pony tail and the hair is left to fall onto the forehead in a fringe instead of falling at the back of the head.
