  • Begin by pulling the hair into a high ponytail, and secure with an elastic.
  • Take a small section of hair, and wrap it around the ponytail to cover the elastic. Secure with a bobby pin.
  • Separate the ponytail into 2 equal sections.
  • Start with the left section, and do a 3 strand braid. Remember to add a colored band every time you cross the right section over.
  • Repeat step 4 for the entire section of hair. Add a few more stitches at the bottom of the braid, and secure with an elastic.
  • Take the right section of hair, and begin another 3 strand braid. TIP: When you cross the left side to the middle, pull through the colored bands.
  • Use the elastic at the bottom of the left braid to secure both braids.
  • Use a bobby pin to connect both braids on the backside to secure the hairstyle.
