Starting at the crown, split the hair to create two equal sections and create a knot with the two strands.

step two: Add to each section from both sides and knot again
Take another section of hair from both sides of the head, cross over and create another knot.

Continue steps one and two down the entire head, creating knots with the sections of hair until the ends. Then secure place with an elastic tie.
