HOW-TO STEPS

• 

  
  1

  Begin the look by sectioning off hair in a V-shape at the crown of the head.

• 

  
  2

  Using a 19mm barrel curler attachment of the amika 5P Interchangeable Barrel Curler Set, curl the hair in rows—alternating in direction.

• 

  
  3

  Spray the hair with amika Touchable Hairspray to set.

• 

  
  4

  With the hair sectioned off at the top of the crown, create a knot braid with the following steps. Starting at the hairline, take one section (approximately 0.5″) of hair from each side and tie the two sections of hair into a single knot.

• 

  
  5

  Add hair to each strand, and continue to knot the hair with the addition of hair to the sections.

• 

  
  6

  Repeat this process as you travel down the length of the hair.

• 

  
  7

  When there is no hair left to add, continue knotting the hair until you reach the very end and secure with a small clear rubber band. Spray amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo onto the braid for a matte finish.  

• 

  
  8

  Next, use your thumbs to spread the braid and add texture.

• 

  
  9

  Fold the end of the braid into the knot at the base and secure with bobby pins.

• 

  
  10

  After the knot braid is complete, brush through the lengths of the curled hair with a paddle brush to loosen the curls.

• 

  
  11

  Spray the lengths of the hair with amika Un.Done Texture Spray for added texture and finish the look with amika Headstrong Hairspray for hold.
