Brastrap Headband

Items
needed: Hair
extensions, a comb (to
section and part the hair),
and hair clips (to keep
the hair out the way).
|
Instruction:
The
brastraps I use (and the one in
the picture above) are both taken
from one of my strapless bras
that doubles as a bra with straps.
The tighter you make it, the smaller
the puff will be. My hair usually
covers the brastrap, but if it's
light in color (like white or
beige) all I do is dye the strap
with black tie-dye.
Step 1: With
damp hair & products in your
hair, use a very soft boar bristle
brush and lightly brush up towards
the center of your head. This
is to help make the hairline smooth.
Step
2: Proceed to place your
brastrap around your hairline
and push the strap up towards
the center.
I
always adjust the tightness before
putting it on. In other words
I know if I plan on wearing a
huge puff or a small puff and
adjust accordingly before placing
the brastrap on.
Step
3: Gently move up and
position to the location you want
your puff to stay in and snap
the hooks in the back and you
will have a puff!
Step
4: Tie a scarf around
the hairline to smooth it down
and keep it on for at least 15
mins. This step is optional.
Notes
•
This brastrap headband does not
have clamps, and you'll have to
tighten it once you place it on
your head. You may mess up your
hair in the process trying to
tighten it, at least I did.
•
You can purchase these types at
Claire's Boutique for a few dollars
in various colors and designs
(rhinestone etc).
•
These types did not seem very
sturdy and never felt tight enough
on my head. I was always afraid
one day it would break while I
was wearing them. For that reason,
I prefer using a regular brastrap
from a strapless bra.
•
After you put on your brastrap
- DO NOT TOUCH your hair until
it's fully dry. I learned the
hard way. My hair looks terrible
when wet so I use to try and fix
it while it was still wet. After
it dried I had a mess! One day
I didn't have time to fix it.
So I put it in a puff and left
my house. After it dried it was
beautiful and I learned a lesson
- so keep those hands out of your
wet hair!

You can let air dry, sit under
a cool dryer or use a hand-dryer
(on low speed) to dry your hair.
