Spiral Pin Method

  1. make a bun on the top, center of head (if hair is thin or short, we highly recommend using a donut bun to create a larger bun)
  2. center front of the posh on bun so the cord is placed at base of bun and hold with hand until next step is complete
  3. carefully split the front layer of hair in the middle and screw in 1 spiral hair pin through the net and into the bun so it is parallel to the head, cover pin with front layer of hair
  4. use a claw clip to secure the hair out of the way for the following steps
  5. slowly tighten bungee cord while making sure the cord is close to base or under bun
  6. screw in one spiral hair pin on each side and in the back, through the net and into the bun, parallel to head
  7. wrap the cord around the bun and secure with U shaped bobby pins
  8. let hair down out of claw clip and add your bow
