    Don't know if you've tried this one - part hair as if going to di a half up half down style. Secure bottom half then French braid the top half all the way and secure with elastic. Now, bend forward and French braid the bottom half starting at the base of your neck and work the French braid to meet the top braid. Then carefully pull the two braids together and secure with an elastic. Here's where you have options - once the re braids meet and are secure 1. you can loosen the braids so you have a ponytail 2. Leave the two parts braided and just let then hang 3. Make a bun 4. Brush out the two pieces then make multiple thin braids each secured witheir own tiny elastic, etc. Amway for a keener eye they will see that you've actually got two french braids going in opposite directions.
