Accessories: Hair needle or tiara.

How to do it

Just put your hair up and let your curls be wild and free. That’s all.

Add a sporty edge to a classic braid by pulling your hair into a high pony before braiding.

Step 3: Add hair from your roots as you continue down the back of your head. Secure with a hair-elastic.

Make two of these and you’re good to go. This hairstyle takes a bit of practice, but it’s totally worth it.
