Knotted Up
Steps
Step 1
Detangle hair. Then starting on the left side of head take 2” sections between plates of 10X Iron and turn 180⁰ backwards away from face. Pull iron through hair. This will create a loose curl. Repeat around entire head.
Step 2
Section out a “mohawk” section at top of head. Working with 1” sections back comb at root the entire mohawk section.
PRO TIP: When working with finer hair, take thinner sections while back-combing to ensure volume.
Step 3
Gather entire back combed section towards the crown and gently twist to the right. Slightly push hair forward so that the front is raised off the head. Secure at crown with 2 bobby pins in an X formation.
Step 4
Using fingers at top of each ear create diagonal partings upwards to crown. Divide this section in 2 and create a simple knot. Pull ends of hair to tighten. Secure middle of knot to head with 2 bobby pins allowing ends to hang.
Step 5
Working underneath previous knot, create 2 new sections incorporating loose ends from preceding knot. Create simple knot as done in previous step allowing ends to hang.
Repeat sectioning and knotting technique until you reach base of hairline. The number of knots will depend on length and density of hair.
Step 6
Using a small elastic, tie the ends of your final knot together in a ponytail.
Step 7
Using bobby pins, secure the ponytail underneath the bottom knot. Take any remaining loose ends and pin under final knot.
