Step-by-Step Guide
Before we start, make sure you have the following:
- Hairbrush
- Hair ties
- Hair clips (optional)
Now, let’s begin:
Step 1: Brush your hair
Using a hairbrush, brush your hair to remove any tangles or knots.
Step 2: Section your hair
Using a hair tie, tie the top half of your hair into a ponytail. This will be the first braid. Secure the ponytail with another hair tie.
Step 3: Create the first braid
Divide the ponytail into three equal sections. Start braiding by crossing the right section over the middle section, then the left section over the middle section. Continue braiding by adding more hair to each section as you go along.
Repeat this process until you reach the end of the ponytail. Secure the end of the braid with a hair tie.
Step 4: Section your hair again
Untie the bottom half of your hair and tie it into another ponytail. This will be the second braid. Secure the ponytail with another hair tie.
Step 5: Create the second braid
Repeat the braiding process as you did with the first braid. Start by dividing the ponytail into three equal sections and cross the right section over the middle section, then the left section over the middle section. Continue braiding by adding more hair to each section as you go along.
Repeat this process until you reach the end of the ponytail. Secure the end of the braid with a hair tie.
