This style is a modification of style 2 good for someone that does not have long enough hair to make a chignon out of their own hair for the top of their head. It’s a full chignon and bustle comb in one.
I made this for Jill and she had her hair #s worked out in percents so I pulled those colors in the percents needed to blend.
I opened up the first color and spread it out across the mat.
I spread the second color at evenly as possible over the first.
For the last color I Layered it out over the color before. Now is the time to fold this in half then stretch it out to the original width then fold it again.
As this was quite a bit of hair I decided it in half.
Then in half again. In order to comb it out I looped a rubber band at the half way point, so I could use the rubber band over a hook and carefully comb up to the band.
Above you can see the difference, the bottom one has been combed but the one above has not.
All the hair combed out.
I opened up the 4 bundles.
Took a thread and laid it under the bundle about 4″ down from the end.
Tied it off really tightly with a surgeon’s knot.
I laid another color thread loop across the knot.
I keep wrapping the thread around the hair until it was about 1/2″ wide, then put the ends of the thread thru the loop.
And pulled on it to bury the end of the thread under the wraps.
I then took the free ends and spread then around,
and over and held on,
while wrapping more thread around them, I did the same trick with the thread loop.
I then trimmed the hair ends.
An evening look with a comb and the blended hair.
