Hair pads are used to add volume and shape to hairstyles. Here's a breakdown of how to use them, referencing a YouTube video on hair padding:

Securing the Hair Pad

  1. Placement: Position the hair pad where you want the added volume.
  2. Securing: Keep the pad nice and firm as you wrap hair around it, maintaining a strong hold.
  3. Wrapping: Move the hair down and around the padding to cover it completely.
  4. Finishing: Once the hair is in position, bend the ends of the wrapped hair in, and secure them with bobby pins to hold everything in place.
