Steps

Making a Braid

  1. Brush hair thoroughly, it also works to have a shower and then as you blow dry your hairbrush it.
  2. Gather all your hair on one side of your head.
  3. Take out one small chunk of hair from the side and put it in front of your face. You will use this to make a braid. Push the rest of your hair aside
  4. Using the small chunk of hair make a very tight braid.
  5. In this step you can choose either: 1. Take your braid go all the way down to the bottom of your hair and put an elastic around it or 2. make it go down a lot of the way and then hold it tightly.

  2. Brush all the OTHER hair into a side ponytail. Add the braid in so it is in the front

Tying Two Braids to a Ponytail

  1. Brush all the other hair into a side ponytail and still hold tightly to where the braid ends.
  2. Put all the hair including the braid into a ponytail above where the braid ends. Finger out the rest of the braid that is below the pony holder.
  3. Both ways need to do this step. You will notice there is a bump on the top of your head from where you have started the braid. You again have two choices: 1. Use hairspray and spray it until it is flat 2. Use several bobby pins to hold it down.
  4. Finished.
