Four

                                                                                                                                                  I take the hair out of the package.

---

Five

                                                                                                                                                  I take the braid out and think of what lengths I will need.

---

Six

                                                                                                                                                  I get my rubber band at the ready.

---

Seven

                                                                                                                                               After I decide what length I want, I take a rubber band and tie the hair tightly around 1 inch below where I'm about to cut.

---

Eight

                                                                                                                                                    I cut an inch above where the rubber band is.

---

Nine

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Here's what I cut off.

---

Ten

I take my sectioned off hair, and I loop it around my shoe lace.

---

Eleven

 I then take another rubber band, and tie it tightly  around the top of the hair to tack it down firmly, so too much hair doesnt come out.

---

Twelve

I'm ready to start back combing: Smooth down the hair with your hands, and take a comb (medium sized) and go right to the bottom of the hair and back comb up.

---

Thirteen

 I Smooth it out with my hands, and seperate it untill its pretty well smooth again.

---

Fourteen

I'll want to backcomb the top again, then the back, and both sides the same way.

---

Fifteen

I cut the rubber band, carefully as to not snip any hair.

---

Sixteen

I take my comb and start to back comb in short little bursts right at the top where the elastic was, to tack it, I back comb untill theres a small bulge. I back comb in short bursts on all sides at the top.

---

Seventeen

I backcomb all the sides again, though not seperating it as much, but smoothing down after every side that I backcomb.

---

Eighteen

Of course, some hair will come out from the bottom. But if you tack it down well enough, not too much hair should come out.

---

Nineteen

 I then start from the top, on the back, and start to backcomb in short bursts letting the hair start to fluff up, I don't do too much of this or else I get super large, super  hard knots. I backcomb in short bursts down to the middle of the hair.

---

Twenty

I then do the same with the top of the hair, then the sides, of course smoothing it down often. It should now look tapered.

---

Twenty One

For half way down the hair to the ends, I then use a smaller toothed comb, as there is less hair there, and using a bigger comb wouldnt work as well.

---

Twenty Two

Back comb all sides, smoothing out after doing every side.
