HOW-TO STEPS

• 

  
  1

  Create four ponytails of equal size and secure just below the nape. Then, number the strands into four sections (1-4 from left to right!).

• 
• 

  
  2

  Follow the 4-strand technique. Start by crossing 4 over 3, then under 2. Cross 1 under 2 and 4 over 3.

• 

  
  3

  Cross 1 under 2, then over 3. Cross 4 over 3 and 1 under 2. Repeat this pattern to the end of the braid and secure.

• 

  
  4

  Expand the braid by pulling out the sides. Flip the braid up and over, then pin it to the head to hide the tail.
