Make a regular ole ponytail, split in two and twist braid both sections. As you can see, I didn't split this in half perfectly, one braid is fatter. That's okay, you won't notice in the end. 
Just like you're beginning to tie a shoe, cross one braid over the other...... 
Bring the end up through the loop and pull..... 
Keep pulling until you have something similar to this. Not too tight, it's a pretty loose knot. 
Bring those two ends together at the bottom and secure with an elastic. I added a couple bobby pins on each side of the bun (near the top) to keep everything in place. 
At this point, you could curl those ends or try to hide them if you wish. I just left them hanging (this is suposed to be quick, ya know) and added a cute bow. 
The end!
I am going to be having a hair bow giveaway on my blog and I'd love to link to your hair ideas blog! could you email me and let me know if that is okay?

LOVE this hair-do!!!!
ReplyDeleteI followed your tutorial and tried this style on my DD -- it turned out really cute! Thanks for the great ideas :)
ReplyDeleteI love this hairstyle! I use it all the time for marching band, and it works great. I can't twist braid, so I just use a regular three strand braid, and it still looks good.
