Twisted heart hairstyle

Tying two small sections of hair at the back of the head

1. Tie sections of hair

Take two small sections of hair at the back and tie them with clear elastics.

2. Twist the ponytails

Twist one section until it coils, then bobby pin to secure. I needed two bobby pins here.

Repeat on the other side. Twist the section up and around, then pin it in place. This is what it should look like. 

Tying the ends of the sections to make a heart

3. Tie the ends together

Take the loose ends from both sections and tie them together to make a heart shape. There you have a beautiful heart-shaped design! This is so easy to do.

How to make a heart-shaped braid

1. Tie and braid hair sections

Just as the first hairstyle, tie two sections of hair at the back of your head. Then, do regular 3-strand braids all the way down and tie the ends with clear elastics.

3. Tie the ends

Tie the braids with a clear elastic to make a heart shape. What do you think of this gorgeous heart-shaped braid? You can readjust it and pancake it down if you wish. I think it looks so effective.

Tying hair into a half ponytail

1. Make a half ponytail

For the final hairstyle, grab a section from each side of your head and combine it to form a half ponytail at the back.

2. Tuck new sections into the half ponytail

Starting from the right side, grab a new section of hair from right under the first section you just tied off. Then, grab your thumb and stick it under the first section to create a gap.
