Knot a Problem!
Posted on Jan 10, 12
When Behind The Chair (BTC) published their latest blog post we were most intrigued and when we stumbled upon this updo, we fell in love! But with twists, turns and weaves that almost defy the laws of physics, we asked ourselves, how would we create this beautiful masterpiece, and compared it against professional stylists around the globe.
One technique shared from BTC Corine Triplett: “Prepare your hair by lightly spraying hair with a Hot Sets Thermal Setting Mist and roll hair on-base in bricklayer fashion,” she says. After the hair cools, she suggests applying a light, multi-texture molding wax product throughout the hair, paying close attention to the ends. Create a horizontal parting at the parietal ridge on each side (this will be the largest section) and secure in a loose pony. Separate small sections of the pony and twist, knot or rope braid and pin to create the bottom design. With the remaining hair above the occipital and parietal ridge, mimic your design and work the two sections together. Finally, take the fringe section and create a loose French braid to intertwine in the design. Finally, set with a finishing spray!
The stylists at New Attitude have taken special note of the tips and tricks shared here, and if you like what you see, be sure to contact us today so that we can help get your hair simply perfect for that special event!
