11. The Double-Twist Half-Pony
What This Idea Means
A sweet, simple style that gathers two small twisted side strands from the temples and ties them together in the back, while leaving the rest of the ponytail underneath neat and structured.
How to Make It
- Gather hair into a neat mid-height ponytail.
- Take a thin strand from the left side near the temple and twist it tightly away from your face.
- Take an equal strand from the right side and twist it away from your face.
- Bring both twists around to meet over the main elastic of your ponytail.
- Tie the two twists together with a small clear elastic band right over the main pony tie to secure them in place.
Tips and Variations
- Tips: Lightly coat your fingertips with hair wax before twisting to keep short hair strands locked inside the twists.
- Variations: Instead of two simple twists, create small fishtail braids for an intricate, bohemian flair.
What You Need
- Fine comb
