If you struggle with braiding your hair or just want a similar look with a twist, this hair hack is for you.


Follow along with my step-by-step tutorial to learn how to make this double braid alternative.

Tools and materials:

  • Clear hair elastics
Making low ponytails

1. Make 2 low ponytails

Start off by making 2 low, even ponytails. Secure each with a clear, hair elastic.


2. Turn them into topsy tails

Make an opening with your fingers above the elastic and pull the tail through it to make a topsy tail.


Repeat on the other side.

3. Repeat

Move a few inches below the first elastics and make 2 more topsy tails.

Creating topsy tails

Do another row of topsy tails, maintaining a similar distance between the previous row.


If you have particularly long hair, continue to repeat the topsy tails until the remaining tail is too short for more.

That’s all there is to it!
