Cross Wrappers

I visited a few albums that shows pics of crosswrapping but I cannot remember who they were. If you have step by step crosswrap pics, PLEASE share. Thanx

Is cross-wrapping where you part your hair in the front and take one section around the head in one direction and then do the same in the other? I don't have step by step directions, but if that's what you mean, I do have pics of my braids wrapped like that. I do that when they are damp so they can dry straight. I don't know if my explanation will be clear but I just decide on where the part will be, then smooth the hair on either side of the part down and towards the back as if I'm going to make a ponytail. You do have to repeat the smoothing back so all the hair is lying flat against your head and not lifting at the back near the crossover. I guess if I wasn't wearing braids a comb or brush with wide bristles might do the trick. Then I cross the two sides over at the back holding the hair firmly against my scalp then I pin the cross over down using a bobby pin. Using the whole palm I maintain the firmness at the cross over as my fingers reach to keep one side smooth so I can pin it down. The more pins I put in, the less my hands are needed to keep hair lying flat. I then pin the rest of the hair around (I do one side at a time). Then it's time to do the other side.

Sorry I don't know how esle to make this clearer, but here's the end result:
