  4. Secure the braid into place using a few bobby pins.
  5. Right below where the free braid meets the beginning of the Dutch Braid, take the end and fold it under. Be careful to tuck the braid ends underneath, and secure with more bobby pins.

hair #2

Step-by-Step Instructions:
  1. Begin by securing all the hair into a high ponytail.
  2. Section off a 1 inch piece and temporarily secure it out of the way.
  3. Slide a bun maker {or hair doughnut} onto the larger ponytail, leaving the small one underneath.
  4. Allow the hair fall naturally, so that it covers the bun maker evenly.
  5. Add a second ponytail holder over the top of the newly-created hair bun to secure it perfectly.
  6. Begin to twist the remaining hair around the base, carefully adding in small sections of remaining hair.
  7. Bobby pin the ends into place against the bun maker, using more bobby pins to secure any layered ends.
  8. Release the small ponytail section you temporarily set aside, and secure with elastic near the bun's base.
  9. Wrap the elastic around the hair a few times, then pull through your first small loop of hair.
  10. Give the elastic a full twist and then form your second loop the same as you did in Step #9.
  11. Wrap leftover hair up and over, securing them under the bun with a few small bobby pins. This creates the knot part of the bow.
  12. Add a small bobby pin from the bottom of the loop and anchoring it to the hair. Place the bobby pin in the bottom section of the loop. This will allow you to form the top into a perfect bow-like shape.
  13. Repeat on both sides of the bow…

hair #3

Row Twisted Bun

For athletic events, twist your rope twists tightly, adding pomade or hairspray to them. Then wrap them tightly into a bun and securing them. For sports, or ballet, do not fluff the rope braids as I did in the video… keep them tight.
Items Needed:

  • Brush
  • rat-tail comb
  • spray bottle
  • 2 ponytail holders
  • 2 small hair elastics
  • 8-10 bobby pins
  • hairspray and accessory {if desired}

Time Requirement: 3-5 minutes
Skill Level: Easy

Step-by-Step Instructions:
  1. Part hair in the middle of head, and divide into two even sections. For an older look, add curls and tease the hair before creating the ponytails. You can also leave a few curly tendrils to frame the face.
  2. Secure each section into a ponytail on the back of the head. Make sure to keep the ponytails as close to the middle part line as possible.
  3. Create a rope twist in each ponytail. Divide each ponytail into two even strands. Twist the right most strand clockwise one full turn, then crossing it under the left most strand. Repeat over and over again.
  4. Then secure each rope twist with a hair elastic.
  5. Optional Step: If you are using this hairstyle for athletics or dance you can leave the rope twists tight. For prom or an updo, loosen the hair a tiny bit by pulling gently on each side of the twist. This will separate them and make them more full looking.
  6. Take the right-most twist. Loop it under the left twist, up and over the elastic, and over the top of the two ponytail bases.
  7. Secure the end with a bobby pin to hold it in place while you what the 2nd twist.
  8. Take the left rope twist clockwise under the right ponytail. Take it up and over the two elastics, securing it with a bobby pin.
  9. Secure the remaining hair with bobby pins until the whole bun feels secure and with the desired look.
  10. Add any accessories and hairspray {if desired}.
hair #4

Dutch Accent Ponytail

Items Needed:

  • Brush
  • rat-tail comb
  • spray bottle
  • 1 ponytail holder
  • hairspray and accessory {if desired}.

Time Requirement: 2-3 minutes
Skill Level: Easy

Step-by-Step Instructions:
  1. Pick up a medium sizes section of hair at the top near your forehead, and start a Dutch braid.
  2. Continue with the Dutch braid, adding in hair on both sides, until it reaches your ear.
  3. While loosely holding the hair, go back and pancake the elbows of the braid to your liking.
  4. Finish off the strands with a simple braid {a regular three strand braid}, securing it with an elastic band.
  5. Pull the rest of your hair up into a ponytail. Don't forget to add the braid into your ponytail before you securing it with a ponytail holder.
  6. Fee free to go back again and touch up the pancaking in the Dutch braid. Pull out a few thin strands of hair on the sides of the face to soften the look.
  7. {Optional} Add a hair wrap to hide the ponytail holder, and add hairspray and accessory.
