Braided Ponytail Hair Tutorial:

Materials Needed:

1. Hairbrush
2. Hair ties or elastic bands
3. Bobby pins (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Hair:

• Start with clean, dry hair.
• Brush your hair to remove any tangles and ensure it’s smooth.

1. Create a High Ponytail:

• Gather all your hair at the crown of your head.
• Use a hair tie to secure it into a high ponytail. Make sure it’s tight enough to hold the ponytail in place.

1. Divide Into Sections:

• Divide the ponytail into three equal sections.

1. Start Braiding:

• Begin braiding the three sections of the ponytail. You can use a basic three-strand braid or try a more intricate braid like a fishtail or Dutch braid.

1. Secure the End:

• Use a small hair tie to secure the end of the braid. This will keep it in place.

1. Optional: Pancake the Braid:

• If you want a fuller and more voluminous look, gently pull on the sides of the braid (pancaking) to loosen it.

1. Wrap the Braid:

• Take the braided ponytail and wrap it around the hair tie to conceal it.
• Use bobby pins to secure the end of the braid under the ponytail, if needed.

1. Secure and Finish:

• Use another hair tie to secure the wrapped braid in place.
• Spray with hairspray to set the style and tame any flyaways.

Remember, practice makes perfect, so feel free to experiment with different braiding techniques and styles until you achieve the look you desire. You can also watch video tutorials for a visual guide.
