HAIR
Romantic Knot

Step 1 – Evenly spray Evo Day of Grace to hydrate hair from roots to ends. Using a Cloud Nine Airshot Dryer apply heat to smooth out the ends.

Step 2 – Section hair into two from ear to ear, keeping the front section out. Straighten in small sections using a Cloud Nine Original Iron.

Step 3 – Take a fine section at the nape of the neck and tie into a low ponytail. Spray with Evo Builders Paradise Working Spray to build texture. Smooth into place using a Cloud Nine Airshot Dryer.

Step 4 – Generously spray Evo Shebang-A-Bang over the top section to ensure a natural hold and shine. Pull all sections of hair back to tie into a ponytail, brushing it out with an Evo Bradford brush.

Step 5 – Loop ponytail around to make a knot and tie tightly with elastic. Spray the knot generously with Evo Helmut for a firm hold and spray Evo Miss Malleable on the ends for flexibility.
