Create additional loops with the remaining hair at the end of the braid, and add them to the existing shape to make it fuller.

If necessary, use a curling iron to create a waved texture. Then, divide the hair into three sections—one on each side and one in back.

In the back, create a parting just below the crown and clip the top.

Backcomb the hair in the back section, using a spray wax to add volume, grip and texture.

Gather this section into a low ponytail.

Subdivide the ponytail into smaller sections. Wind each subsection up toward the base of the head, forming small loops, and secure with bobby pins.

Continue looping and pinning subsections in the ponytail until all of the hair has been secured.

Release the top section.

Starting above the right ear, begin creating a three-strand French braid.

Continue working across the head, feeding in hair from the crown area as the braid is formed.

Gently tug at the sides of the braid to loosen and enlarge the shape.

Drape the braid across the top of the looped ponytail and secure it with bobby pins.

Subdivide the ends and create additional loops, pinning each one into the existing shape.

Release the remaining side section, direct it back, and pin it into the looped shape.
