Styling Steps:
1. Start with dry hair that has been prepped with a firm hold styling gel. (Gel applied when hair was damp.)
2. Leave out 2 selected tendrils at the front hairline on one side of the head.
3. Beginning at the front hairline on top, take approximately a 1-11/2” vertical section of hair and start twisting it at the scalp and work your way back to the crown. Put a bit of gel wax on the fingers before you start twisting!
4. Take a bobby pin and open the tip and push it inside the twist heading towards the face. (Twist back, pin forward!) The opposing directions help it hold!
5. Continue to do the same through the top and sides. Twisting the hair towards the back and pinning to secure. Leave all the ends loose for the moment.
6. Now begin taking gel wax and apply to each tail. Form a loop and pin.
7. Once tails are looped and pinned, begin twisting and pinning or, looping and pinning the remainder of the hair. Always make sure you have gel wax on your fingers as you twist and loop the hair.
8. Continue throughout the back of the hair. Lift bottom of hair and pin up with bobby pins. Interlock the pins as you go.
9. Continue to loop and pin, twist and pin until all the ends are done.
10. Curl the tendrils up front in a spiral fashion with the curling iron.
11. Finish with hairspray.
