Wiggle Plait
1. Taking your desired section of hair, plait the hair as normal with three strands.
2. Once you've reached the end, before tying off the plait, take one strand and leave the other two facing away from it.
3. Pull the two strands of hair facing away up the plait you just created to bunch it together.
4. Make sure your pushing the plait up the hair from the root also.
5. Pin into place.
Waterfall Plait
1. Start off by sectioning the hair into three even strands, and do one plait as normal.
2. When it comes to crossing the right section over for a second time, drop the strand after doing so, and cross over with the left strand as usual.
3. Pick up a new section of hair next to the right strand you just dropped, cross it over & drop again.
4. Cross over the same left strand as normal.
5. Keep picking up a new strand of hair for the right side & repeat until finished.
6. Pin into place.
Slip-knot plait
1. Section the hair into two even sections at the front of the head and tie into a knot, hand the sections to your model with her hands fanned out.
2. Repeat again, handing the strands to the model once knotted.
3. On the third knot, bring in the first section the model is currently holding into each strand and tie again.
4. Repeat backwards against the head, pin wheeling the sections to follow the heads natural shape.
5. Come to a natural stop when the strands become too short to be tied and round off into a twisted bun.
6. Taking a piece of cloth, brush against the hair to mess up the style.
1960's Beehive Look
- Pintail Comb
- Denham Brush
- Kerby Grips
- Sectioning Clips
- Heated Rollers
- Barrel Tongs
- Hairspray
- Make sure the hair is no freshly washed as it needs to be tacky to hold
- Use Dry shampoo or serum to create a tacky texture as hairspray will burn when in contact with heat
- Section hair into a middle parting and section from the top of the ear to the crown of the head.
- Section off the front section and section a neat square wide enough to fit a pair of tongs at the crown of the head.
- Pull the strand away from the head and place the tong neatly and securely whilst rolling the curl into place.
- Gently remove tongs and clip the curl securely in crown.
- Repeat downwards 3/4 times more depending on hair length
- Repeat again but this time clip one curl to either side of the row of curls.
- Style remaining portion of the hair whilst the curls set to cool.
- Unravel the first curl and with a pintail comb, brush down right at the root of the hair until desired lift is achieved.
- Unravel and backcomb each curl until your beehive is at its desired height
- Smooth a section from the font over the volumised beehive and spray to finish.
Voluminous Hair
- Paddle Brush
- Water Spray
- Hair Dryer
- Curling Tongs
- Sectioning Clips
- Hairspray
- Round Brush
- The hair can be washed prior to styling and roughly blow-dried till damp
- Instead, spray the hair down lightly with water to make slightly damp.
- Starting with slightly damp hair, section the hair off starting with the nape of the neck.
- Taking the section closest to the nape, brush through the hair, lift the hair with the rounded brush at the root of the hair.
- With the hair dryer, nozzle down at the lift by the roots, brush through the section taking the hair dryer down towards you.
- Repeat with the remaining sections until the hair is dry with volume at the roots.
- Repeat the same steps through the rest of the hair, section by section.
- As you reach the crown of the hair, I'd recommend taking a larger rounded brush than before to achieve higher lift at the roots.
- Continue throughout the rest of the hair until the hair is dried straight, with volume.
- Taking curling tongs (size depending on models hair length), barrel roll the ends of the hair to compliment the volume at the roots.
- Brush through the curls with a large paddle brush & spray to finish.

1. Apply primer mainly to the nose and forehead area to remove any natural shine.
2. Evenly apply the foundation to the face and blend away and harsh lines
3. Once an even coverage has been achieved, take a powder puff and dip in loose translucent powder.
4. Blot on the back of the hand, the in a roller motion press the powder under the eye are and also on the nose.
5. Taking a clean powder brush, blend any excess powder away, focusing on areas that are most oily.
6. Powder the rest of the face, and taking a small fluffy brush, apply powder loosely in the corners of the nose.
7. Be careful not to overpowder the cheekbones as the skin still needs to maintain dimension.
Dewy Finish Foundation

- Using application tool of your choice, warm a small amount of foundation on the back of your hand
- I'm using a sponge, dab the product with a light hand across the cheekbones and around the nose area
- Flip the sponge to a clean side and blend outwards to the edges of the face.
- Blend lightly so the product is evenly applied.
- Brush a little more underneath the eyes with a fluffy brush to get rid of any darkness
- Either mix a drop of sheer illuminator with the foundation, or dab lightly onto cheekbones and lightly on the bridge of the nose.
