Step 1: Start with well brushed out hair. You need to have hair that is at least as long as mine. Any shorter and the end doesn't go into the right position. There is a way to do it on shorter hair though....I'll post that later. :)
Step 2: Gather it up as you would for a ponytail. Position it a little lower than halfway between your neck and the crown of your head. (As you can see, mine was a little high. I had to reposition it after this pic was taken)
Step 3: start twisting it all the way out to the end just as you would for a bun.
Step 4: Wrap the twisted pony around it's base, again as you would for a bun. Make sure that the loops "stack" on top of each other.
Note in the last one how I'm positioning my last loop. It's underneath the first one.
Step 5: Make sure that the end of your hair is on top of the bun, like this:
Step 6: Take hold of the loop that is on top of your bun and fold it over, like this:
Step 7: Fasten the top part with clips or bobbypins; I use clips because they hold much better. I still have to use a bobbypin or two to keep the end where it's supposed to be. As you can see in the above picture, they stick out. :D
That's it!! The finished "do":
Hope you enjoyed it!!
