braid

the center

Leaving a 1-inch

section on each side,

braid the middle strip

cornrow-style (pass

each strand under the

middle as you pick up

more hair), stopping at

the nape of the neck.

Secure it with a clear

elastic, and let the tail

hang. Take the two

strips on each side of

the braid and pull,

along with tail of braid,

into a loose ponytail.

Wrap it up

Repeat the same

process on the

second ponytail.

When finished, use

another clear elastic

to secure the bottom

of both wraps

together. Comb

the tail to smooth,

and mist all over with

a soft-hold hairspray.

step one

straighten

strands

This works best on

straight hair, so quickly

run a flat iron through

her strands. Next,

secure the hair into

two equal-size ponies

(as close together as

possible) that sit at the

nape of the neck.

step one

start

sectioning

Starting at the crown,

divide your bestie’s

mane into three parts:

two large side sections

and a 4-inch wide

section down the

middle (clip the large

sections out of the way).

braid the sides

Unclip the side sections, and blast them with texturizing spray

for extra grip. Then weave them

and the baby braid’s tail into a loose French braid. Tie the end with

a clear elastic, and mist all over with lightweight hairspray.

Wind one side

Take a 1-inch section of hair from the back of one pony, and

coat it with a stronghold hairspray. Tightly wind it around the elastic,

then down the tail, adding small pieces (like you do with a

French braid) until the top 2 inches are wrapped. Secure the

end of the wrap with a clear elastic.
