Description

Instructions

  1. Small 1

    Start by putting your hair into a high ponytail.

  2. Small 2

    This is about where I like my bun to sit. You can do it higher or lower if you'd like.

  3. Small 3

    Use the hair in the ponytail to do a fishtail braid. For help with fishtail braiding, see my video for instructions.

  4. Small 4

    Secure the end of the braid with a small elastic. Use your fingers to loosen and widen the braid.

  5. Small 5

    Wrap the fishtail braid around the base of the ponytail.

  6. Small 6

    Tuck the end of the braid under the bun and secure the bun with bobby pins.
