Easy Updo For Medium To Long Hair (III)

Steps to achieve it

4. Starting with the strands on the very outside of the ponytail, take small sections about 1/2 inch thick. Experiment to get the right size based on your hair.

5. Use hair or bobby pins that are the same color as your hair and take the first section of hair and pull it up towards the sky. Halfway between the base of the ponytail and the top of the length create a tiny loop and pin the hair loop at the base of the scalp. Use an open hair pin to anchor the loop down into the scalp. The loop should leave a few inches of loose "tail" hair that is not pinned down. Take the remaining "tail" hair and twist the hair once or twice. Form a open loop and pin it with a bobby pin.

6. Repeat all around the outer shape of the ponytail in a clockwise direction. Form the base loop, leave the "tail hair" and then pin a loose open loop around the scalp and near the crown. Experiment with making the loops the same size and thickness or alternate the loops.
