1. Make 2 reverse French braids

Start with a middle part. Then use a tail comb to grab a small section of hair from the front on 1 side.

Making reverse French braids

Braid the hair, adding in more hair as you move backward to create a reverse French braid. When you reach the back of your head, continue with a regular, 3-strand braid. Tie off the end with a hair elastic.

Repeat on the other side.

2. Make a ponytail

Collect all the hair, including the braids, into a large ponytail at the back of your head and tie it off with a hair tie.

3. Split the ponytail and weave one through the other

Split the tail and add 2 more hair ties on each new tail, a few inches down.

Splitting the ponytail

On the top tail, split the hair above the hair tie and pull the lower tail through it.

Weaving hair

On the tail that’s now on top, push the hair tie down a few inches and repeat the process.

Weaving hair

Repeat until you run out of hair, and then tie off the end with a clear, hair elastic.
