Hair preparation
We smoothed out hair with KMS Hair Play Texture Blast. We then crimped the whole head.
Before
Step 1
Leave square section out on both sides from top of ear to outer eye area. Comb remaining hair back into an elastic band at lower crown.
Step 2
Divide hair into 2 sections. Allow 60% in bottom section and 40% in top section.
Step 3
Take top section forward and pin down in line with top of the ear.
Step 4
Pin oval-shaped padding low on the nape. Pin a crescent-shaped padding behind ponytail on top.
Step 5
Comb hair over the padding.
Step 6
Use anchor pins to help hold and distribute hair evenly over shapes.
Step 7
Gently place bands just below base of padding at crown and nape.
Step 8
Flip hair under padding to hide ends of ponytail on crown. At nape, flip up inside hair to reduce bulk.
Step 9
Tuck banded section up inside padding to create a short bob effect
Step 10
Take both sides back and knot together. Pin to secure. Leave ends free. Finish with a light spray.
