Section the hair into a T at the front, and tie the crown of the hair into a tight

low bun.

Take the ponytail and section it into four equal pieces.

With one section of hair, backcomb and then barrel turn it into the scalp

outwards.

Secure the turn with two bobby pins on either side.

Continue this with the remaining three sections, creating a “flower”

Bring the four barrel turns together by using a pin to manipulate the hair to blend

into a flower bun.

If desired, take a few strands from the T-section and plait into the bun.

With the remaining hair in the T-section, use the single barrel curling tongs.

Take a piece of hair and clamp into the tongs, roll upwards towards the scalp.

Hold for 10-12 seconds place the comb beneath the tongs and the hair to prevent

burning.

Remove the comb and release the curl, then pin the curl until the hair cools so

the curl holds.

Repeat this with the rest of the hair, according to the parting.

 Once all the hair has been curled and pinned, release the curls and style

accordingly.
