Things You'll Need:
- Comb
- Bobby pins
-
Step 1
Pull the hair back as you would for a ponytail, smoothing out the hair as you go. Leave it unsecured. Gather the hair to the center back of the head. Hold all the hair in your left hand.
-
Step 2
Bring the free end of the hair upward with your right hand toward the top of the head. Use your comb to smooth out the hair and grab any flyaways. At the base of the pony tail, begin to twist the hair to the left. Twist and tuck a little until a slight twist forms.
-
Step 3
Go back down to the base. Take a bobby pin and begin to pin the hair in position. Place a pin into the center of the head, open end facing to the left, then grab some hair and move the open end to the right to secure it. Keep moving up the twist, securing and tightening as you go.
-
Step 4
Stop tucking and pinning at the crown of the head. Bring the remaining hair together and either tuck it inward into the twist you created or create a swooping roll on the top. Either style looks great. Try both and use a mirror to see which one you prefer.
