Your hair must be long enough to make a bun. Use hair extensions if needed.
We actually got this from a video on Youtube. You can either use the text or watch the video. It's up to you. We do recommend that you at least do steps 1-4.
1. Your hair needs to be clean. If it's been more than 24 hours since the last time that you washed your hair,
you may want to consider washing it. So, if you do need to wash your hair, go ahead and hop in the shower.
Shampoo twice (only three times if your hair is really dirty) and condition once. Using a tooth comb, BEFORE
you wash out your conditioner, comb out the tangles in your hair. Then, once you're done with that, then you can wash your conditioner out.
2. Find a detangling spray and very lightly spritz some on your hair. Using a tooth comb
(preferably not the one you used in the shower), comb out the tangles. Once you've done that, you can plug in the blow dryer. Set it on 'Warm' and for
faster results, put it on 'High.' Blow dry your bangs first as straight as you can. Once you're done blow drying your bangs, gently brush them to ensure softness. Section your hair
evenly and blow dry (straight) the rest of your hair.
3. Wait 20-30 minutes before flat ironing your bangs. Once that time is passed, plug in the flat iron, and give it a few seconds
to heat up. Brush your bangs to take advantage of this time. Then, flat iron your bangs. Don't worry about the rest of your hair though.
Once you're done with that, turn the flat iron off and store it away properly.
4. Wait 10-20 minutes before curling your hair. Once that time has passed
plug in the curling iron, and give it a few seconds to heat up. Brush your hair to take advantage of this time. Then, using a 1-inch or quarter
of an inch curling iron, make very small curls. In fact, you almost want to make them look like waves. Notice I said almost.
5. Only do this step if you know how to tease hair. This is where the boar brush comes in handy. Take a small section of your hair and very lightly tease it.
Then take another small section and very lightly tease that as well. I'd really recommend that you watch at least that part of the video, since I don't really know how to tease hair.
6. This is where the bobby pins come in handy. As the video recalls, make an "X" shape on the back of your hair to hold the look together.
Make sure that you are touching your scalp when you are doing this. If you can, kinda place your bobby pins around the back of your hair so people won't
see a nest of bobby pins. Chances are, you'll have some ends of your hair sticking out at this point. If that is the case, take some more bobby pins, and twist
and pin down the ends. We recommend that you let at least some parts of your hair stick out, just not too much, or you will most likely not achieve the look that this guide requires.
As the person in the video says, "Anchor down all loose ends."
7. Turn on the curling iron. You can pretty much do whatever you want to your bangs, but we recommend that you don't curl it too much. It's mostly the end that's curled.
8. If you'd like, you can add a feather and/or hairnet headband. Try this or this.
9. Make sure that everything looks okay.
10. You're done!
