  • MATE WHERE DO I PIN. DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW TO PUT UP INSTRUCTIONS BECAUSE THESE STEPS ARE UNPROFESSIONAL. I DO TEXTILES AT SCHOOL AND THEY TEACH US HOW TO WRITE PROPER STEPS.

    • Jessica, we're sorry that you found our tutorial to be unclear. In the written steps above, we mention in step three that you pin into the first twist, and then again in step six after you create the bun. You are more than welcome to add more pins (or less!) to secure the look to your liking. We hope this helps!
