ACCORDION COMB:

    Preparation: Always start with both thumbs on the combs, and the teeth of the combs pointing toward each other. You should be looking at the back of the comb (seam & tag). Place your right thumb on the tag. This will prevent you from putting the hairpiece in backward. If you are left-handed, please follow the instructions with the opposite hands, unless you often do things right-handed.

    Pull two sides of hair up to top or around back of head: With both thumbs on combs, set comb on top of head where you want it to end up. Without taking either hand off the comb, stretch arms to right side of head. With your right hand in front of your ear, slide the comb about ¼ around your head. Where you stop it,  is where it is going to stay. Let go of the comb with your right hand (left hand is still holding the other side). Switch hands; hold the left comb with your right hand and your thumb on the fabric, not on the plastic comb. Now your left hand is free to pull the hair back from your ear on the left side. With your right hand on the comb, stretch the comb (with the teeth of the comb pointing out toward your left ear) toward your left ear. Touch the teeth to you scalp and start to pull your hair up or back around your head toward the first comb. Comb the whole way around your head until the two combs are even on the top or back of your head and tuck the comb in.

Once you get the comb in, do not touch it. If you push the combs together it will loosen the elastic. If it is to tight you need to push the combs together a little bit. If it is extremely tight, you probably did not slide the first or second comb in far enough. The hairpiece does not have to be tight to stay in your hair, it only needs to be comfortable. Too tight will cause a headache.

    Bun: Twist hair and wrap around in a circle to make a round bun. Hold the bun with your left hand so that your elbow is in front of your face, your arms over top of your head, and your fingers are pointing down toward your back. Do not move this arm or hand. This will keep your hand out of the way, and only your fingers will be  holding the bun, not your whole hand. Start with your right hand holding the plastic comb, and slide the comb ¼ of the way around your head toward the bun. Again, the comb should be against your scalp under all layers of hair. With the left hand that is holding the bun, lift up your pinky and ring fingers. Keep holding the bun with your other three fingers, and use your two little fingers to hold the first comb that you just pushed in with your right hand. Now, you can let go of the comb with your right hand, and your left hand should be holding both your bun, and the first comb. With the free right hand, reach behind your head, and grab the ridge of the left comb. Stretch the comb overtop the bun so the fabric covers the bun, and your fingers that are holding the bun. Stretch the comb the whole way to your ear and slide the comb back toward the bun, "scooping up" the hair and tucking the comb in. If it is too loose, try taking one comb out and putting it back in closer to your ear, or just start over and don't push the combs in too close to each other.

    French Twist: Same as bun, but wrap a little scrunchie around the fabric of the combs twice. Twist hair into a long bun up and down the head, rather than around in a circle

    Sloppy Bun/Messy Bun:  Twist your hair and start by making a round bun but let the tail of your hair stick out over the top of your head.  Put the combs in just as you would do the "Bun".  When you are done the tail of your hair will stick out the top of the fabric like "fireworks" or if your hair is longer, it will drape down over the fabric looking like a "waterfall".  This is the most popular "in" style for today!!

    New Item:  Ponytail/Barrette Comb: Pull hair back into a pony tail and hold it with the thumb, and first finger only of your left hand. Your three remaining fingers should be pointing straight up toward the ceiling. With your free hand, slide the first comb in straight back from the top of your head. The top edge of the comb should be horizontal. Use your three fingers sticking straight up to hold on to this first comb very tight. Pull the other comb straight down, and wrap it around the ponytail in a clockwise loop. Do not twist the comb. Just flip it forward and slide it under the first comb, so the two combs are overlapping somewhat.  New Item!!
