Tools and materials:

Separating front of hair

1. Make a middle part and separate the front

Make a middle part with a tail comb. Separate the front section of hair, pulling it in front of your face and tie it temporarily with a hair tie.


2. Make 2 small ponytails on each side

On 1 side of the part, section off a small group of hair with the tail comb and tie a ponytail. 

Making ponytails

Repeat on the other side.

3. Make a short braid

Remove the temporary ponytail in the font, split the hair into 2 equal parts and separate a face-framing strand on 1 side.


Then braid the hair on that 1 side until it reaches the top of your ear. Tie it off with a hair elastic.

Braiding

Pinch and pull the braid to add volume.

4. Pull the ponytail through 

Then, make a small opening above the elastic with your fingers. Pull the ponytail through that opening.
