Hair




This hair style consists of two inverted/chunky braids at either sides of the head and plaited until the ends and secured with a small black elastic band. The top section of the hair will have lots of back combing underneath but will be smooth on top. The ends of the hair would be crimped to add some texture to the hair.

This hair style is inspired by S/S hair trend, crimping parts of the hair and vikings - Anna Sui's inspiration for the ready-to-wear catwalk show.







Tools/products needed:
  • Heat protection – to protect the hair
  • Serum – to smooth top section of hair
  • Cripmers – to create texture in parts of the hair
  • Hair grips.
  • Pintail comb – for backcombing and smoothing
  • 4 elastic bands – to secture ends of plaits
  • Sectioning clips
  • Hairspray – to hold/finish style.
Step by step how to create this style:

  1. Section a horse show section at the top of the head and use sectioning clips to hold this section in place for now.
  2. Create two inverted chunky plaits at either side of the head, above the ears. Use the end of your pintail comb to create neat sections. Stop creating the chunky french plait when you just go past the back of the ears & plait until you reach the ends of the hair, use the small elastic bands to hold the hair in place.
  3. Create padding in the top section of the hair using your pintail comb. Add serum into the top layer of hair and smooth the hair into the desired shape and use grips to old the hair in place.
  4. Use the crimpers to create texture in the top layers of hair that can be seen. Ensure the back section of the hair is gradually crimped from the ends like in the picture shown below.
  5. Spray the hair with hairspray to finish the style.

Creating an 11 strand braid


Firstly you should create a five strand plait by taking these following steps and then continue to an 11 stand plait:

  1. Section the hair into five equal size strands.
  2. Begin working with the hair from the right side with one fold of each section - just like the start of a three strand plait.
  3. You should then weave the strand from the left hand side over and then under the strand next to it on the right.
  4. Weave the strand from the right hand side over and then under the left strand.
  5. Repeat this motion until you reach the ends of the hair.
  6. Once you have created the 5 stand plait into the hair you should then create a normal 3 strand plait in another small section of hair. However you should weave the strand closest to the 5 strand plait through the hair. 
  7. Secure the bottom with a hair tie or a clip.

This image below is my first attempt at an 11 strand plait.


Weaving the hair

Step by step:

  1. Have five small sections of hair
  2. Hold two of the sections in one hand and the other three sections in the other hand. The side with three strands begin weaving the hair over and under the other strands of hair from this side until you have run out of sections of hair from the same side.
  3. Then do the same with the strand on the outer opposite side. Ensure to hold the right sides together and separately.
  4. Now starting from the opposite side take a section of hair from underneath and weave in between each strand of hair from that side.
  5. Repeat these steps until you have done enough weaving.
