DEMONSTRATION PICTURES

       #1                            #2                      #3                           #4

Make a high pony tail. Twist hair tightly all the way to the end and roll it around itself into a bun. Take the very end of the hair and secure it into the bun from underneath with your thumbs.

         #5                           #6                       #7                           #8

Flatten the bun with your fingers while making sure the tail is secure in the center with your thumbs. Position screw pic near the outside edge of the bun and screw straight in until you get right to the head. (This makes sure you catch the hair that's right against your head.) Then lay the pic down parallel to the head and screw it through. You'll feel it running against your head. Picture #8 shows how it will want to come out below the bun. When this happens, you want to back the screw out just a little and then pull a little of the bun down over the end of the pic before screwing it through.(#9) Picture #10 shows the finished product, with the pic catching both edges of the bun.

Figure 8 style for very long hair

                                #1                           #2                              #3

Twist hair tightly into a bun, with each twist going under the last, letting the bun get high.When you get to the end, secure the tail under the previous twist with your thumb.

                #4                                #5                              #6

Then, holding down the lower twists of hair, take ONLY the top twist and lay in down on the head. Hold both top and bottom flat to the head while you screw in the pic.

                           #7                             #8                                    #9

Take pic and screw straight into the hair of the top twist until you get right to the head.Then lay the pic down parallel to the head and screw it down through the bottom twist of hair. Be sure both the top and bottom is caught with the pic.

                                                  #10                                #11

This arrangement, when done right is not only very secure, but also balances the long hair weight in a graceful figure eight instead of a dorky knob of a bun!
