So once you've got your ponytail in with all these braids. You can just twist it right up into a button this way and you've got all this great texture, but I'm one that likes to take it a step further. So if you take any kind of fabric just quickly tie it around and then even do one more braid with the piece of fabric that way just kind of pokes through every now and then and then just it up and then just grab your big hair pin Sure that in this is about kind of showing off all the work, you're done. Alright and again we keep talking about texture and we want to add a little bromance to this. So take your dry shampoo. I use the dub invigorating shampoo cuz. They use starch instead of powder. I really like the texture it gives without it. Looking like, I've got a can of hairspray on before, okay right and you don't want a perfect shape here either. That'S another important thing just play around until you get it exactly how you want to recap, step one grab, sections of hair about three to five inches braid it and use a dark elastic at the end step to take all of your hair into one big ponytail Step three twist it into a bun, maybe six hair pins to keep this in place and you're good to go.
