The "fold and tuck" method is a way to style short hair by folding sections and securing them. Here's how to do it:
Understanding the Fold and Tuck Method
The fold and tuck method, as explained in the video reference, involves folding sections of your short hair and pinning them in place. This creates a unique, sometimes voluminous look while also acting as a protective style.
Steps to Fold Short Hair
Here's a simple breakdown of how to fold and tuck short hair, as shown in the provided video reference:
- Section the Hair: Begin by parting a section of your hair. It does not need to be a large section.
- Fold the Hair: Fold the section of hair over. The exact fold may vary depending on the desired look.
- Tuck the Hair: Tuck the folded section so that the edges are hidden. This can be behind other parts of your hair.
- Pin it Down: Secure the folded and tucked section with bobby pins. Place the pins in a way that will keep the style in place.
- Repeat: Repeat steps 1-4 for other sections of your hair as desired. This will result in a stylish, folded and tucked look.
Why Choose the Fold and Tuck Style
- Protective Style: This method can be used as a protective hairstyle, which minimizes manipulation to the hair.
- Styling Variety: The fold and tuck offers versatility and can be adapted to different lengths and textures of short hair.
- Unique Look: It creates a fashionable, unique style that can be used for a variety of occasions.
Pinning Techniques
- Use bobby pins that closely match your hair color for a more discreet look.
- Insert bobby pins securely, angling them to hold the folded sections in place.
- Use enough pins to keep the style secure.
By carefully sectioning, folding, tucking, and pinning, you can create a lovely, folded style for your short hair.
