Half up knot

Take the top half of your hair and divide it into two sections.

Next simply cross it over and begin to tie a knot. (It's the same as tying your shoes!)

Then cross it over and tie it once more. You should come out with a knot that looks like this. Secure with bobby pins.

To make soft waves, wrap a section of hair around the curling iron and leave it for about 10-15 seconds.

Continue to curl and this is what it should look like!

(The knot does not stay without bobby pins, so don't worry about it getting it stuck in your hair.)
