Instructions

  • Step 1:
    Wash and condition your hair. Apply a leave-in conditioner, wrap lotion or setting lotion appropriate for ethnic hair.
  • Step 2:
    Comb your hair with a wide tooth comb to get tangles and kinks out. Make a part in the middle third of the scalp from left to right.
  • Step 3:
    Determine which side of your face you want to wear your hair. Start wrapping the hair in front of the part in a circular direction. Comb clockwise to wear the hair on the left or counterclockwise to wear the hair on the right. Repeat the same strokes with a rat-tooth comb, pressing the hair down to keep it in place.
  • Step 4:
    Sit under a hardhat blow dryer for at least 45 minutes or until the hair is completely dry.
  • Step 5:
    Wrap your hair in the same circular direction as you did in Step 3. Brush gently until the hair strands are separated.
  • Step 6:
    Part your hair and comb onto the elected side of your face.
  • Step 7:
    Practice, practice, practice. It takes time to train your hair and to learn how to wrap it. The more you practice, the easier it will be to wrap your hair.

Tips & Warnings

  • Curl the ends of your hair with curling iron or flat iron to add a little bump.
  • Spray a light mist of oil sheen to give your hair a bit more luster.
  • Rewrap your hair at the end of day, while it's dry. Tie it up with a scarf and unwrap it the next day.
