HOW-TO STEPS

• 1

  Prep the hair with CATWALK® by TIGI® Session SeriesTM Salt Sprayand create a clean, center part from the hairline to nape, securing hair in two low ponytails for the time being.

• 2

  Use a paddle brush and a bit of CATWALK® by TIGI® Session Series Work It Hairspray to smooth hair and set the severity of the part.

• 

  
  3

  Using pins, secure one extra-long, pre-made braid (using extensions) just behind the ear and cross over the crown. Repeat with a second pre-made braid in the opposite direction, crossing over the other braid to make an “X” on top of the head.

  Next, remove elastics from pigtails and begin braiding the ends of the braids into each pony, using a 3-strang technique and incorporating wefts of hair into the braid as you go to add length. Secure each side with an elastic, leaving a significant amount of unbraided hair below the elastic.

• 

  
  5

  Secure the two braids together, taking care to hide the pins and create the illusion of intertwined braids.

• 

  
  6

  Use fingers to pull on pieces of the braid to create an undone texture and set the look with CATWALK® by TIGI® Session Series Work It Hairspray.
