Using Knots for Straightening Short Hair

Video Transcript

Hi my name is Lauren and on behalf of Expert Village I'm here to discuss short strait hairstyles. A fun way to keep your hair away from your face, and also something that's a little bit more interesting and fun, and literally more unique is to actually create knots in your hair. If she wanted to piece back a lot of different pieces, she can lift her hair into small sections. Give a little bit of spray and then smooth and you're literally going to actually tie a knot in the hair. Then, take a pin, and pin your knot down. You can do this either towards the front of the hair or the back. You can do it in larger sections if you wanted to in the back and make larger knots. The larger the section the larger the knot. And you go through and pin it down. Now with most hair textures you don't have to worry about the knots actually staying. Our hair tends to let go of those knots and open themselves up, like this one just did. So they won't always hold. It's important to knot them and get the pin actually where the knot is held and are truly formed so that way they'll stay in. It's kind of an interesting way just to piece your hair back a little bit different from what some people would do. You can also integrate that with the barrel curls. With the twist that we just showed in the previous clips. So that way you can kind of take all the different singular ideas and piece them together in order to create your own fresh style. So again if you wanted to form a little headband, piece the hair, wrap it around your fingers, pull it into that knot, and then piece it out. Most people, or at least myself, would use these knots if I had a ponytail. If you want to kind of dress up a ponytail, you could put the hair into a ponytail itself, whether it be a side ponytail. Use a larger rubber band in order to secure it, and then actually take your ponytail and tie the individual pieces into knots and then place them going around the ponytail. So you've created an easy and simple yet very unique updo. That'll take you three or four minutes or less.
