A simple pull-through braid for ranching, riding, roping, or reveling.

STEP 1:

Make one small ponytail at the back-top of your head using hair from the top-front of your head by your face.

STEP 2:

Make a second ponytail that sits beneath your first, again using hair from around your face.

STEP 3:

Split the top ponytail into two sections and place one on each side of the bottom ponytail.

STEP 4:

Lift the bottom ponytail.

STEP 5:

Combine the two sections of the top ponytail beneath the bottom ponytail with a clear elastic.

STEP 6:

Repeat Steps 3-5 on the bottom ponytail. Before securing the third ponytail with an elastic, add more hair from around your face to the ponytail.

STEP 7:

Take pieces of hair from around your face to add ponytails, first taking from the top and then working downward. Repeat until the end of your hair.
