- Section out a 2″ by 2″ section right below your crown.
- Twist and pin this section, this will act as base to anchor all your other pins.
- Start taking small sections, twisting and pinning to the base you have created.
- Take and twist pieces from your nape and pin to the base.
- Take sections from your temple and twist back, pinning in place.
- You are left with the top section, back tease just a bit for some added volume.
- Twist back and pin back, hiding the original base you created.
- The finished product should look messy and lovely.
- Finallly, pull out a few face framing tendrils and you are on your way!
