PLAITS

Equipment needed:

- Hair brush 

- Sectioning combe 

- Hair clips 

Step by step:

- Brush the hair thoroughly 

-  Section the hair into 7 sections 

- Leave the front two sections out

- Start the plait using the 5 sections at the back of the head

-  Use the outside parts of the hair and plait them towards the inside

** this will make you end up with a plait pictured below:

 

Next, take the piece from the front side of the head and separate it into 3 pieces. 

** Take the right hand side piece of the hair and incorporate it into the main plait by pulling through the right side of the plait through the main one. 

 

Ladder plait

 

Step by step:

- Do a French plait on top (starting like a normal plait then leaving bits out and giving them to your model so that you can use them later.)

- Next, you have to do the same thing, using the ''left over'' pieces of hair from the plait on top

 

Overall, I am very happy with the final outcomes! Although I did find it very challenging, because of my poor hand coordination, however that will come with practise and the more I do them, the easier it will get! I really like the effect these plaits give, and they are very fashionable at the moment, which makes me want to include them in one of my designs.
