Padding Hair

Materials Needed:
- Padding (Tissue stuffed into tights)
- Pintail comb
- Grips
- Straighteners
- Crimpers
- Anchoring pins

How to:
1. Start by creating a middle parting.

2. Take a small section from the front of the hair on both sides. This will be frizzed using the anchoring pin technique with the straighteners.

3. Take a larger section behind the frizzed sections and crimp this. This will create more volume and texture to give the hairstyle height, structure, and stability.

4. With the left over sections of the hair, you will create French plaits. This will be where the padding will be anchored to keep it in place.

5. Once you have completed the French plaits, you can then pin the padding down with the anchoring pins. Pierce the pin through the tights and then back outwards to make sure it is tight to the model’s head.

6. Once they are secure, you can then pull the crimped hair over the top of the padding making sure it is not visible. You can then pin the crimped hair down to keep it in place.

7. You then do the same with the frizzed section of hair to give the end result more texture.
