This hairstyle tutorial is the result of what happens when daddy is home alone with the kids while I am out of town!
Unfortunately, the video I left in reserve for our usual weekly upload has sound issues.
My hubby called to let me know, which created a perfect opportunity for him to film another one of his famous Daddy ‘Do Hairstyles! This one is called Pullbacks into Square Knot, and demonstrates perfectly his experience in scouting!
I was actually very impressed when I saw the video, that the hairstyle looked so crisp and clean! The knot looked beautiful as well, so brownie points to him for bringing you this week’s tutorial!
{Although I wasn’t quite prepared for the “surprise” action he did in the video… my daughter was trying so hard not to laugh!}
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, one hairband, 2-4 bobby pins, pomade and hairspray {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 3-5 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Brush out hair… Separate off a small section of hair near each ear to create the two pullbacks… Secure remaining unused hair into a soft ponytail with a hairband to keep hair out of the way… Dampen the hair with a spray bottle {if needed} to help control flyaways… Add some mousse or pomade to the pullback strands to help add a little grit. {This will better help the hair stay in place when you create the square knot.} Take both strands and pull them to the back of the head, and form the first part of a knot just like tying your shoe… Now repeat the same step again to create the square knot… Holding the hair ends in place, gently add bobby pins to each “tail” right where they come out of the knot {in an up-and-in motion, to create a more secure pin}… Then add hairspray to secure any remaining flyways and to help hold the knot shape. Enjoy!Happy Hairdoing!
