Plaiting with ribbon

Ribbon

Equipment

·         Tail comb

·         Ribbon

·         Clear hair band

Method

1.      Using the tail comb, split a section of hair you would like to plait.  I chose to do a French plait starting from one side of the head.

2.      Next, secure the ribbon underneath the section by tying it to a piece of hair.

3.      As you begin to French plait make sure the ribbon is always in the middle section so it can be seen.  Plait the whole section until there is no hair in that section left – tie it off with a clear hair band.

I found this technique quite tricky because the ribbon always had to be on top of the hair so you could see it at all times.  However, once I got in the motion and my hands got used to the movement I found it easier.  After some more practice, I feel I would be able to do this technique with more confidence.
