Determine which side of your face you want to wear your hair. Start wrapping the hair in front of the part in a circular direction. Comb clockwise to wear the hair on the left or counterclockwise to wear the hair on the right. Repeat the same strokes with a rat-tooth comb, pressing the hair down to keep it in place.
