Answer 2

do you mean french plait???
Well if you do then this is how to do it.
1.Stand behind the person you are going to french plait
2. Make a parting and put one side of the hair into a grip or something so it doesn't get in the way.
3. Then take a strand of hair from the front (about the size you would take to do a medium sized normal plait).
4. Start off by doing a normal plait, cross over the strands of hairs once if you get me.
5. Then after you do that, for each strand of hair you cross over, take some more hair and add it to the strand then cross it over.
6. Keep doing this until eventually there is no hair left to take up and you will have a lovely french plait.

It's hard to explain if I don't show it to someone in person. The thing is it takes a lot of practice.

Answer 3

It is pretty simple once you get started.

First at the top of the head part the hair as if you were going to have a half pony tail (just above the ears).

Then split that into 3 pieces. Cross the RT side over the middle(now what was the middle is now the rt side).

Cross the left side over the middle (and the middle now becomes the left side.
REMEMBER keep al pieces separete. Don't let any of the 3 pieces intermingle.
We have done RT and LFT, it is time to add hair. Add about the same amount of hair that you began with to the RT and LFT pieces only!
Now begin again. RT over center(rt becomes center and center becomes RT) then LFT over center.

Continue adding hair each time in the same pattern, and you have mastered the french braid!!

Give it a try, let me know how it works!!

Answer 4

I had my hair in a pleat in the sixties and the trick I learned, was too make it very tight right from the bottom (nape) and keep turning tightly all the way up, whilst pinning only very little on the way, and then inserting a pretty angled comb, toward the top half of it.

Answer 5

First you need hair at least shoulder length, from the back view, brush hair to left side of head, hold firmly in a bunch,kirby grip in centre in a line to hold hair in place, now carefully wrap hair around hand place agains't head and kirby grip in place. I am not a hairdresser I used to do this hairstyle a lot for work when I had longer hair. It just takes practice and theres lots of hair aids tu use instead of kirby grips.

Answer 6

Depends on how long your hair is. Whan I had long hair I would grasp it as if I was going to do a ponytail and with the other hand twist until I reached the end then pulled it up to the crown of my head and secured with a grip orstrong hairslide

Answer 7

if you comb the hair over to one side clip all the way up and spray with hair spray roll the hair into a roll and clip all the way up continue to spray tidy any stray hairs with clips or spray if the hair is newly washed you would be better to backcomb at the roots first but try to get your model to leave washing their hair for at least 2 days it is much easier to put up good luck

Answer 8

once you've darkish hair it would not ensue till you bleach it blond or white. So the white area isn't short-time period. be careful Barring that you really positioned it on sparkling (not conditioned) hair for in spite of the back of the packaging says. it is going to run down the drain for variety of two-3 weeks.
