Well, I've never been able to do a French twist. By the time my hair is long enough to make a pocket that can hold it all, the total volume is too great for the style to be stable.
From what I've observed from others comments, it is a style people grow out of fairly easily, and one that is more sensative to variations in hair thickness than some others.
Have you tried fastening it with two combs, rather than one, or the combination of a comb through the side and a fork or hairsticks vertically? It may just be that the volume of hair being held requires more secure anchoring. At least, that's my wild guess, as someone who's never done a French twist, but has had to deal with having hair outgrow hairtoys and styles.
