20. The Twisted Half Ponytail

What You Need
- Hair pins
- Elastic bands
- Comb
What To Do
- Use a comb to untangle your hair. Divide it down the center.
- On one side, take a few hairs from the front.
- This portion should be split in half and twisted together. Create strong, well-defined twists. Drop the bottom portion of hair and take up a fresh section with each twist.
- In the back of your head, pin this twisted braid.
- On the other side, repeat the process.
- Select a section of hair from the area just beneath the first twisted braid, divide it in half, and then weave it in a twisted braid in the same manner. Pancake it after tying it with an elastic band.
- On the other side, repeat the process.
- At the back of your head, tie the four twists together.
