Hi, and welcome to special Halloween themed of Hair with Hollie. Today I am going to show
how to see this fabulous ghoulish hair style perfect for Halloween and great for fancy
dress too.

Okay this is quite a simple look to achieve even though the results are really dramatic.
So what we are going to do first we are going to prep the hair with some mousse. Make sure
you get all of the hair. So we are going to comb this through so you have nice bit of
product over all of the hair so it's all little bit sticky
So when you're happy that the hair is adequately prepped you are going to split the hair into
sections just to make it bit more manageable, so say two to three sections like so. It doesn't
really matter what kind of product you have on this because the whole look will be quiet
messy at the end.
Working in tiny sections, say one inch one and a half inch square, we are just going
to plait down the lines of the hair making sure that the plait is quite tight. It just
depends on what size you want to crimp. So if you want a kind of a looser crimp or a
looser wave do a bigger plait but if you to want really crimpy and kind like a fizzy look,
do really small plait, even smaller than this one. So once you get to the end of the hair
just secure it with either curly grip or a barbell loop or an elastic band. Make sure
the plait is quiet tight, and we're just going to apply some heat to it.
So I am using straighteners here with the platting method, but if you have crimpers
at home, lucky you, It makes it so much easier. So what we are going to do here is we are
going to mimic the action of crimping and just run the straightners down the length
of the plat holding for a couple of seconds at each section and just keep working all
the way down to the end of the hair until you are satisfied that the heat has gone all
the way through.
So we're going to leave that to cool while we are doing to the rest of the hair. We are
going to do the exact same thing on the rest of the hair. Prep with some mousse, plait
with some ties secure, straighten, and leave to cool.
Once your plaits have cooled, what we are going to do next is take out the bands and
with your finger or the tail of a comb, since it can be kind of tricky to take out because
they're so small, start breaking them up from the bottom and you'll see you'll start to
get that real crimped effect.
So just continue to do this all over the hair until you've taken out all the plats. So I'm
going to brush it through, and if you want to give it that extra little bit of lift you're
going to pop some texturizing dust to make it really big. you can be quite generous with
the dust on this look to make it really crazy.
When you're happy with the volume, what we are going here we are going to finish of the
whole thing with a good lob of hair spray.
So there you have it, the perfect Halloween hair style for your fancy dress. Do leave
