Hair wire wraps, often found in wired headbands, are used to style hair in various ways. Although the reference video focuses on wired headbands, which use a wire wrapped within fabric, the principles for hair wire wraps are similar. Here's how to use them, based on the video's demonstrations:
Understanding Hair Wire Wraps
Hair wire wraps, or wired headbands, have a flexible wire enclosed in fabric, enabling them to be shaped and positioned in the hair. This contrasts with traditional headbands, which offer less flexibility in styling.
How to Style with Wire Wraps
Here are a few styling techniques, referencing the video’s examples on wired headbands, which can be applied to general wire hair wraps:
Simple Headband Style
- Position: Place the wired wrap around your head, similar to a regular headband.
- Adjust: Adjust the wire to fit snugly against your head or hairline.
- Secure: Twist the ends together or tuck them underneath the wrap to secure it.
- This style offers a basic look.
Turban Style
- Starting Position: Position the wire wrap around your forehead.
- Cross at the Back: Bring the ends of the wrap to the back of your head and cross them over each other.
- Twist and Secure: Bring the ends to the front of your head. Twist or tie and tuck or secure them.
- This method creates a turban look.
- The video displays a variety of turban style looks.
Bun Wrap
- Style your bun: Create your hair bun as desired.
- Wrap: Wrap the wire wrap around your bun, and twist and/or secure it to keep it in place.
- This allows the wire wrap to enhance the bun shape and keep it in place.
Tips for Using Hair Wire Wraps
- Experiment: Try different positions and twists to find styles that you enjoy.
- Adjust Wire: Bend the wire to achieve the desired shape and fit.
- Use on different Hair: Wire wraps are versatile and can be used on many different types of hair.
