    THANK YOU SO MUCH! IT WORKED! I tried all kinds of tutorials but none of them worked! So I watched yours and I was thinking to myself "this probably won't work on me because I have thick hair." I went to Walmart and bought some rubber bands. When I got home, I tried it AND IT WORKED! Thank you so much! I couldn't have done it without you! You deserve more subscribers, views and likes! ❤️

    My hair is down to my waist and this would take me forever and a day. I go once a week for a wash, head massage and braiding and it's only $16. Every week is different braiding style. Well worth it.

    • @lexderp2766
      @lexderp2766 4 роки тому

      Make two small ponytails.
      Take the top ponytail and split it into two
      Take the bottom ponytail and bring it in between the two strands
      Take the two strands around the bottom pony and add more hair from ear to middle part of scalp
      Make the two strands form top pony and new hair into another ponytail underneath the second one.
      Take the second ponytail you have no touched yet and repeat the steps since now it is the “top ponytail”
      I know it’s two years too late but hope it’s more clear

    so you pull the middle of each ponytail out of the way then tie the rest with new hair?

    • @hairbymel9610
      @hairbymel9610  8 років тому

      +Amanda Maitland Yes 😊 you pull the middle ponytail up and then tie the upper split ponytail together underneath it so that it forms a loop around the middle ponytail. Sounds a bit confusing when I write it down! Hope that makes sense!
