- Create an ear-to-ear part sectioning off the front
- Brush hair inward and slightly upward from the nape (hairspray and pin over lapping and vertical)
- Smooth the remaining hair on the left of the row of pins. Use a paddle brush and then a comb to prepare it for
placing in the twist.
- Direct the hair slightly upward and lightly apply hair
spray.
- Transfer the hair to your right hand. Hold it at about the
middle of its length, straight out toward you with the
fingers of your right hand pointed down and toward the
nape.
- Grasp the ends of the hair with your left hand and wrap
them into a circle. Hold the circle with your right hand's
thumb and index finger, with your palm facing toward
you.
- To create the twist, turn the hair so your palm is toward
the head, and continue to hold the hair with the thumb
and finger as you twist the hair into a cone shape againstthe head. The twist of hair rests slightly over the line of
bobby pins.
- Hold the twist with your left hand as you use your right
hand to place bobby pins down inside the center of the
twist. Place three to four bobby pins close to the scalp
near the original row of pins.
- Add hair pins as necessary along the seam. Place the hair pins by catching the outer edge of the twist and then
rotating them in against the scalp to secure.
- Spray the sides and the twist again with hair spray from adistance of approximately 10".
- Style front as desired
