Hey everyone, this is Jenny's Stribute, Confessions of a Hair Styles, and I'm so excited because the other day, I posted a photo of a client of mine and I created this really fun knotted milhawk. So on my model, Kendra here, I went ahead and replicated it. And what I like about this too is that Kendra's hair is actually mid-length, and my clients was actually really long. So it shows you girls a little bit of a variety there with the ways that you can finish it for medium to long hair. So anyways, I just adore this style and I know you girls will too, so let's go and get started. All right, so my model Kendra's hair is second-day old, so it definitely has a little bit of texture to it, so it's perfect for this hairstyle. So all I wanna do is create a square section on top. So I'm basically gonna take my pointer fingers and at her hairline, just pull back my fingers a little bit, section off the hair, creating a square section. So I wanna see a little bit of volume at the top, so I'm just simply going to take this section of hair and all I'm gonna do is slightly twist it and then push it forward, and then I'm just gonna secure it with a bobby pin. So now I'm just gonna do a center parting here, and now I'm just gonna take a section of hair from each side and just using my pointer finger. So this just is about two inches here, and I'm simply just going to pull it back, bobby pin it right here, and then I'm gonna start my knotting technique. This is just gonna really help give us a nice sleek, smooth look on the side. Gonna repeat that on the same thing on the other side. Now that I've secured bobby pins on both sides, all I'm gonna do is take that section up, divide it in half, now I'm gonna create a knot. So basically taking our sections and simply doing a basic simple knot. I'm gonna pull it out, I'm gonna have my model hold these for me, and I'm gonna repeat the same thing with these other sections around the face. And the only reason why I'm bobby pinning the sections around the face, because I want a little bit more sleeper and tighter to the head, just around the face area. Now that I've created a nice sleek section here, I'm gonna continue knotting it. So what I'm gonna do is divide this section in half, incorporate our previous sections now, and now I'm gonna repeat that technique and do another knot. Now we've created another knot in there, so I'm gonna have my model hold on to these strands, and now I'm gonna create another section of hair, I'm just taking my pointer finger, across the back of her hair, dividing the hair in half, incorporating the side hair, and repeating that same technique, so just doing a basic knot. So I'm just repeating the same technique, took the sections and created a nice knot. All right, now I'm gonna take our last section and do the same thing, and then I'm just gonna keep on continuing knotting it until we get to the very ends, and then I'm gonna secure the ends with an elastic. All right, so what we're gonna do now is take the ends of her hair, and simply just tuck it into the updo, and secure it with a bobby pin. So now after this, we're gonna do some detailing now. She has a lot of layers in her hair, but I kinda like it, because it kinda gives it a little bit more of an editorial, so now I'm just gonna plump them up a little bit, and just drape them, hide any bobby pins that we need to, especially the ones on the sides, and then add a little bit of the end of the hair, and then add a little bit of the end of the hair, a little bit of a texturizing product, just for a little bit more umph, and just finish it out here. All right, so there you go, it's so gorgeous. All I'm gonna do to detail it out, is just put a little bit of hairspray, smooth any flyaways away, and now the fun part begins, because I'm gonna actually start tearing this apart, and show you guys how just kinda pulling it, massaging the hair out will make it a little bit more different feel and more editorial. So this is my favorite. So we've made it all beautiful, now we're just gonna rough it up. So we're just gonna seriously just pull on it, rough it up, just a little bit. Some of our layers are coming out, but I'll just go and tuck those in, and bobby pin it, and you could tell that it's creating this really big, knotted style at this point. It's really, really fun, and now I'm just gonna take the palms of my hands and just rough up this textur. Now I'm just gonna pull the front out too, to make it really, really big. So this would definitely be more of a runway style. You can see that I've pulled out her hair. I'm just gonna add a couple more bobby pins just to finish up with the loose ends, and that's basically it. It gave it a really fun, kind of full up do.
