If you’re always on the lookout for something new, you’ll love this. Let’s jump on in!

Tools and materials:

  • Clips
  • Hair elastics
  • Hair tie

Braiding hair

1. Braid first section

Start by splitting your hair in half and then divide each side in half as well.


Clip the section nearest your ear out of the way and make a French braid with the section next to your parting.

2. Braid second section

Repeat on the other side, braiding the section of hair closest to your parting.

Tying ponytail

3. Tie ponytail

Tie or clip the two braids together at the front of your head so that they’re out of the way, and brush the rest of your hair back into a ponytail.


Hold it in place. Add the braids and tie the ponytail together. 

Adding elastic

4. Add elastic

Tie your hair with an elastic a couple of inches below the hair tie.

Repeating process

5. Repeat

Repeat the previous step two more times: Tie your hair with an elastic a few inches below the previous one.

Here is the finished look! I’ve called it the football ponytail because it creates little ball shapes in between each hair elastic.


I love the combination of the two braids with the rest of the hair unbraided. I hope you’ll give it a try!
