How it is done

  1. 10:27Start on damp hair: brush styling gel through and sleek it back into a ponytail.
  2. 20:54Secure the ponytail with two hair ties so the added hair can't pull it loose.
  3. 31:51Brush every strand with gel and an edge-control brush for a sleek base; leave out just a few baby hairs.
  4. 42:17Smooth the hairline back with edge control, then set it with a cool blow-dryer or wrap strips.
  5. 53:13Wrap pre-stretched braiding hair (about 2½ packs) onto the ponytail with a hair tie, your own hair on top.
  6. 64:10Set aside a small piece of braiding hair to wrap the base at the end.
  7. 74:46Split everything into three sections and brush your hair into the braiding hair so it blends, adding gel as you go.
  8. 86:14Start the braid at the back of your head so it is tight at the base, then bring it forward to finish.
  9. 97:48Feed extra hair in behind your index finger to make the braid longer.
  10. 109:15Band and trim the end, then wrap the reserved piece around the base with gel and pin it where it's comfortable.
