STEP BY STEP HOW TO CREATE THE CLASSIC FRENCH PLEAT
This look is stunning – it is a perfect fusion between classic and boho… I love it!
- Set hair with large barrel tong and clip in place to set
- Once hair has cooled remove clips and brush through
- Section hair from top of ear to the opposite ear and isolate the hair front section – placing it forward
- Now back brush root area of rest of the hair at the back
- Smooth outer sides of hair using your soft bristle brush
- Dress hair over to one side and apply hair grips vertically, central to the back of head
- With the remaining hair, roll back over the gripped hair gently to create a pleat
- Secure pleat in place with hair pins
- Now dress the isolated front hair back into the pleat creating height at the top
- Secure in place with hair grips AND your Classic French pleat is complete
