Style Series #2

So I'm going to share another style with y'all that I tried over the christmas holidays...' the tuck and pin'
This is a style I got from kimmaytube, and you can check out her 'how to' video here.

It is a pretty straightforward style that can be done on stretched hair, and offers a professional styling option. Once again, these are pics taken from my phone archive and are of a finished style but I hope it helps all the same :)

What you need:
banana clip
yer hands

side combs
bobby pins
































































































































































































































































 Step 1: using freshly washed or stretched hair, make a centre part up to the middle part (crown) of the head.






Step 2: starting on the right, grab a section of hair and begin to twist the hair inwards and backwards, starting from the centre part. When you get to the 'parietal ridge' secure the twisted section with a side comb before continuing to the nape.





Step 3: When you get to the nape, use bobby pins to secure the twisted area and leave the ends to hang loose.
this pic is just to show how far back you need to twist



Step 4: repeat  the same process on the left side.






Step 5: use your banana clip (in the horizontal plane) to 'pack' the loose hairs. What I then do, is to grab the ends of all the loose hairs and tuck it 'underneath' the banana clip, securing it with one bobby pin.





Voila, and you're done :)




XOXO,
Miss Jay
