Make a loose knotted side row

Step by step

1. 

   STEP 1 OF 3

   Choose a side panel and two sections

   • Detangle dry hair and clip everything outside a short side panel away. Divide a small starting section into two long tails.
   • Check that both tails can pass through a loose loop without catching. Choose a simpler style if they tangle or cannot be held separately.
2. 

   STEP 2 OF 3

   Make loose knots with small pickups

   • Cross the right tail over the left. Bring that right tail behind the left and through the open loop, then ease the two tails apart without cinching.
   • Add a small piece of nearby panel hair to each tail. Make another loose overhand knot below the first, keeping the same crossing direction.
   • Repeat only along the reachable panel. Stop before tails are too short, a loop tightens or hair catches; use the soft tie below the last comfortable knot.

   STEP 3 OF 3

   Check comfort and open knots in reverse

   • Release the sectioning clip and check the roots. Undo any knot that pulls or slips; do not tighten it to make the style hold.
   • After wear, remove the end tie. Hold the lowest knot open and guide its tail back through, then repeat upward. Free small catches with your fingers.
   • Check that all loops and added sections are released. If a knot will not open gently, stop pulling and seek help with removal.
