Tie your hair in a high ponytail. Obtain a few long necklaces for different patterns of hair chains. Use shorter ones if you have shorter hair. Drape a long necklace over your ponytail, twisting the necklace in the middle for multiple layers. Secure the necklace with your hair grip.

Create a chain barrette as an alternative to long necklaces. Use pliers to cut chains or a long necklace to the desired length; try cutting three lengths of chain, each one about 1 inch longer than the other to create a drape effect over your ponytail.
