Divide the hair into two ponytails, and hold them in place with ponytail holders. The ponytails should look much like old-fashioned pigtails, but the part doesn't need to be straight or exact. The ponytails can be high or low on the head, according to your preferences. If you have shorter hair, the ponytails will need to be closer together.
