Creating An Intricate Type Of Plait (see image)

• You can do this with any sized section of hair
• Ensure you have 3 clean sections to start a standard plait
• Plait the hair as normal
• When you come to the end, do not get very tight, just stop plaiting
• Hold the 2 sections in one hand, and the other section in your other hand
• Slide the 2 sections up the strand of hair which makes the third section
• This will then shrink the plait; continue plaiting if required

This plait was actually surprisingly easy and looks very effective, for this reason I am actually thinking of incorporating it into my final design, possibly around the outside of the bun. I will practise this and see how it looks, and how it works with the rest of my design before making a firm decision.
