Buns & Plaits Technical Lesson

Buns: 

Step 1;  Pull the section of the hair you want to create into a bun up into a pony tail brushing with paddle brush to create a soft finish used a tick hair band to secure. If hair is really thick section the hair in half and pony tail each section individually pulling the hair from the bottom to join the first section.  

Step 2; Taking even sections from around the pony tail clip hair using hair grips, folding the hair over to the correct size and shape you would like you bun to sit in. If hair is thick use your finger to fold over the hair twisting around inside the bun structure and clip, using this process repeat to form the whole bun shape.

Step 3; Using the bun pins to finish manipulate and pull around the sections to close up the gap and pin into the center of the bun. 

French Plait: 

Step 1; section the hair you wish to plait creating clean lines as this will make sure it’s easier and creating an even plait the whole way down. Section this into 3 even sections each the same width.

Step 2; Plait into middle section, after two plaiting motions take hair from alternating sides and plait into the middle section making sure you pull tight at each point.

Step 3; once there’s no hair left to introduce plait as normal down and tie off with a clear small band.

Fish Tale Plait: 

Step 1; Section the Hair into 2 sections making sure both even.

Step 2; Taking a small amount of hair from slightly behind each section cross over to join the other section, alternating from each side making sure you don’t pull very tight as this will limit what you can do with the plait afterwards.
Step 3; when there’s no more hair left, if you wish to create a messier look push the whole plait upwards before tying to loosen the grip of the plait and tie off with a clear small band.
