Step One: Take a centre parting from the front of the hair to the nape. Starting at the nape take a 2cm deep, diagonal section from the centre parting towards the ear.	Step Two: Hold the section at a 90 degree angle. Place the ghd styler at the root and overdirect the hair towards the centre while gliding the iron through to the ends.

Step Three: Repeat this, working up towards the occipital bone.	Step Four: Continue working in diagonal sections, including the front side sections, towards the front of the hairline to complete. Always keep the sections at 90 degrees to the head, and continue to overdirect the sections towards the centre back.

Step Five: Take a diagonal parting from the right eye to left side of nape.	Step Six: Comb the hair on the right side into a tight, low ponytail and secure with covered elastic.

Step Seven: Comb the left side flat into the nape and start to twist towards the centre. Wrap the left panel around the ponytail and secure with a pin.	Step Eight: Separate the remainder of the ponytail into several stems. Twist and wrap around your finger, place the hair into the desired position and pin.

Step Nine: Pin extension hair underneath the ponytail at the nape, twist and wrap around your finger, place the hair into position and pin to secure.	Step Ten: Continue working on the remainder of the hair, twisting and wrapping around your finger, to create the shape.
