Step 1: Prepare the hair by using a curling iron with a diameter of 38mm to create subtle waves throughout the hair. Brush the hair, apply a little shine and you are ready to start working.

Step 2: Separate the hair at the front, take a section from the crown, tie it in a ponytail with a hair tie and de-structure it a bit.

Step 3: Using hair sticks, create definition in the upper section of the hair.

Step 4: Take a section from the right side, make a braid and pull it behind so it sits on top of the hair tie in the ponytail.

Step 5: Open up the braid a little and perform the previous step on the opposite side.

Step 6: Take the remaining hair, divide it into two equal sections and create twists.

Step 7: Cross the twists from one side to the other, maintaining them tied at the ends.

Step 8: Create an effect of intertwined knots.

Step 9: Place a headdress on the hair if appropriate
