Wiggle Plait

1. After brushing the hair thoroughly take a medium section of hair and begin to plait normally.
2. Once you have plaited to the end of the hair, push the 2 pieces of hair up whilst holding the other piece.
3. This will create a wiggle effect, use a pin to pin in place.

Waterfall Plait

1. After brushing the hair, create a clean section horizontally by the ear using a tail comb.
2. Begin to plait normally, once you have plaited twice, drop the single piece of hair.
3. Take a new section of hair from behind to create a new third strand of hair.
4. Plait twice again and repeat.

Ladder Plait

1. Keeping the Waterfall plait in, take a clean section of hair underneath it.
2. This time, split the hair into two sections and use the 'fall out' pieces from the Waterfall plait for your third strand.
3. Again, once you plait twice, you will drop the single piece of hair and pick up a new piece from the Waterfall plait.
4. You can then pin into place and finish with hairspray.

Slip Tie Knot

4. Repeat the knotting process again and ask your model to hold the sections.
5. Take the next section of hair ready to knot, but take the first two sections of hair into the pieces you have already.  Then knot again.
6. Keep going with this process, making sure you take the older sections into the new knot as you go until there is no hair left.

5 Strand Plait

1. Section five pieces of hair ready to begin the plait.
2. The most important thing is to make sure one hand always has three strands in and one hand always has two.  They will alternate because you will be plaiting across.
3. Start with three strands in your right hand, take the furthest one and use the method, over, under, stop.
4. You will now have three pieces of hair in your left hand.  Repeat the process again.
