Hair Tutorial: Knots & Loops




I love this style. It adds a nice flair when you want to leave your hair down or half up. The pictures that go along with this are done on a friend and a mannequin. Mannequin heads aren't the easiest to work with so keep that in mind. This looks great on people!



Step 1. Start with a loose knot near the temple and secure it with a bobby pin.






Step 2. Loop a piece of hair about a half inch think through the knot. Don't pull the hair the entire way through the knot. You can secure with a bobby pin or a duck bi clip. I use clips first and secure later.





Step 3. Repeat. Keep looping hair in half inch increments until you reach the back of the head. Once in the back secure with bobby pins.






Step 4. Repeat on the other side. Knot. Loops. Secure in the back. If you haven't secured the loops at this point now would be the time to do so.



Step 5. To hide the bobby pins in the back you can pull some hair up over or pin a few curls. I like to pin a few loose curls. This picture I just tucked the bobby pins under the hair I had pulled back.
