Step 1: Wash the hands before getting started. Ask the model to put on the apron and if she has got any allergies.

2: Section the hair (divide the hair into two parts: the front part is for zic zag curls, while the back is for padding).

3: To create the curls, put the hair out and in and out the hair pins. Continue with the process until u have finished. Use a bobby pin to secure the end part of the hair. After that, use hair straightener to crimp the curls.

4: Divide the hair into two sections. Leave the bottom part more hair as it is used to wrap around the padding. Crimped the hair first and separate the hair into half (Left and right). After that, start with the left session, measure where to place the padding.

5. Separate the hair into two and create a braid in between to hold the padding. After that, use hair clips to secure the braid onto the hair and then secure the padding onto the braid. Graband wrap the bottom part of the hair around the padding and put the top part of the hair over so the padding and no gaps will be seen. Secure the hair with hair pins. Do the same for the right side as well.

6. Put the top part of the hair which is not crimped over the crimped hair and leave two strands of hair from each side for the plaits. Secure the straight hair with hair pins at the bottom. Use hair spray and spray the straight hair, after that comb the hair to make sure the hair are straight and have a smooth texture. For the four strands of hair that I’ve left previously, create plaits and secure them with hair clips at the bottom.
