Step 1:

Begin the style by separating two sections of hair from each side of the head and secure with a clear elastic. Ensure that a gap is left in the middle of the two sections as this is essential for step 4.

Brush the hair with a paddle brush like the Leo Bancroft Paddle Brush, spraying the brush with Leo Bancroft Secretly Styled firm hold hairspray to prevent any stray hairs. (This technique is used for a sleek and tidy variation).

Step 2:
