Step four:Once you have finished the braid (takes a lot longer than a normal three strand braid), you can secure the ends with an elastic band. This will help tighten the pieces you have already placed and braided. To keep the braid tight, every so often you can take side one and side two and pull them away from each other. Once you pass each piece over you can forget about them, just let them gather into their new sides. Next, take a small piece from the outside of side two and pass it to side one. Take a section of your hair so that the parts on both sides for a V letter. Step three:Take a small piece from the outside of side one and pass the piece to side two (you can decide which side will be one and two). If you would like to wrap the band with hair when finished, leave a small piece aside, separate from the two equal parts, and do not include this piece as you braid. Step twoDivide the hair in the pony tail into two equal parts.

You can either cut the band for a loose braid or you can wrap the band with hair to hide it upon completion. Step one:Gather hair into a ponytail and secure with a clear elastic band. Again a special thanks to 1011 Makeup and HairВ and Lane Dittoe Photography for sharing this with us.
