    Pick up two medium sized sections of hair from one side of your part line.


  2. Small 115691 2f2017 01 17 151933 3

    Tie these two sections together with an elastic to create a ponytail.


  3. Small 115691 2f2017 01 17 152041 4

    Stick two fingers behind and through the hair above the elastic to create an opening.


  4. Small 115691 2f2017 01 17 152110 5

    Grab a hold of the ponytail and pull it through the opening.


  5. You have now created a twist.


  6. Hold on to the elastic while you gently tug on the sides of the twist to create volume.


  7. Pick up two new sections of hair from underneath and on either side of the twist above. Avoid picking up the hair from the ponytail.


  8. Tie the two sections together with an elastic to create a ponytail underneath and a little to the side of the twist above. Stick two fingers behind the opening between the hair and the elastic and grab a hold of the ponytail and pull it through the opening to create yet another twist. Hold on to the elastic while you gently tug on the sides of the twist to create volume.
