RUMI HAIR TUTORIAL✨💜
Dampen hair and brush it all back

Start by creating a clean section from the front hairline toward the back of the head.
Take a small section near the front/top of the head and secure with an elastic.
I make this section a little loose to create a little volume.
Move that section of hair out of the way.
Make the second section of hair. This time take it all the way down to the middle of the ear on both sides.
Secure with an elastic.
Move the second section of hair out of the way.
Make the third section. Take this section all the way down slightly behind the ear on both sides.

2. Bring your second section between those 2 pieces.
