- Grab a section of hair from the front and pull it back. Secure this section with a rubber band. This is the starting point of your design.
- Divide the hair that extends out of the rubber band into smaller sections. Twist each section individually.
- Overlap the twisted sections to form an irregular quadrilateral shape on the top of the head. This unique pattern is what makes the hairstyle stand out.
