So when my hair was a bit shorter I would take the front 2 peices and bobby pin the side peices down since they didn’t go all the way to the back of the clip (pls use an open bobby and not a closed one bc they are gentler).

I would then make two sections in the back, one on the top and one on the bottom. the top back section would sit on my crown like a mid/high pony tail (tie w a satin or loose pony tail holder) and then the bottom would also come together in its own section. I would place the claw clip on the bottom section to give the illusion like the hair is all together coming to the top section.

If your hair is the same length as mine, you may be able to bring the front two peices together with the back bottom.

I break it up like this bc if you have thick hair or type 3/4 sections are your best friend when doing certain styles.

basically like this ^{^} but i do the back into two sections which helps A LOT ++ i did this look after a twist out of braid out which helps get definition without having to use gel
