3 Fold a scarf to match the length of hair and pull through the elastic to secure to ponytail. With the scarf in the middle, section the ponytail into two parts, creating a three-section braid. Braid to the ends and wrap the braid into a tight bun and secure with large pins. Hide the end of the scarf inside the bun and tuck loose hair behind the ears and add a slight wave to the ends. Finish and polish the look with OSiS+ Elastic Flexible Hold Hairspray.
