How it is done

  1. 10:29A Brazilian remy drawstring ponytail that goes on in under 20 minutes.
  2. 20:57Take out your edges first and set them aside with gel.
  3. 31:56Pull your hair into a ponytail with a rubber band and gel the front and back.
  4. 42:23Brush the back up, comb out the waves, then press with freeze spray and a little heat.
  5. 53:20Brush the front back into the ponytail with more gel and a spritz.
  6. 63:49Plait your own ponytail; it hides inside the drawstring.
  7. 74:18Lay your edges, tie a scarf on tight and sit under the dryer.
  8. 85:15Rub a little oil over your hair and the ponytail for shine.
  9. 95:44Clip the back comb in first, then the front comb; don't make it too tight.
  10. 106:14Pull the drawstring tight and wrap it around to lock the ponytail in.
  11. 117:09Wrap a piece of ponytail hair around the base to hide the lump, and smooth flyaways.
