If you have your heart set on wearing a French knot right now but you just washed your hair, don’t worry. You can mimic second day hair with product, which will be discussed later.
Start spraying the product about an inch from your roots, coating your hair thoroughly and then running your hands through your hair to work the product in.
If it is helpful, you can also clip the two front sections out of the way.
Grab a teasing comb, and place it a couple of inches away from the root of your hair. Gently back-comb, or push your hair up, by moving the comb towards the root of your hair. In other words, you are strategically roughing up the hair, creating a little patch of “tangles” at the root of your hair. Do this only on the hair at the bottom of the middle section. Feel free to clip the top of the middle section out of the way to do this successfully.
This is the part of your French knot that will require practice. It is helpful to bring up a YouTube tutorial for this part so you can see what this step actually looks like. After you understand the concept, practice it a few times. Soon, you will develop muscle memory and the French knot will become second nature!
Because you will probably end up using a fair amount of bobby pins, find ones that match your hair color. The French knot should appear simple and effortless, and the bobby pins should be invisible.
Hold the hairspray about 6 inches away from your hair and only hold down the spray for a second. Once you’ve applied the hair spray, avoid touching your French knot. This can cause frizz and ruin the sleek look you’ve created.
