Start with clean, dry hair that’s free of tangles. If your hair tends to be on the unruly side, give it a good brush to ensure it’s smooth and ready for styling. Spritz on some leave-in conditioner, or use a detangling spray to make your mane more manageable.

STEP 2: Create a Half Up Ponytail

Then, divide it into two sections. Take one of the sections and start braiding it. Also, keep on adding a small section of hair from the side on which you are working. Here, we are starting with the right side.

Now that we are done with one side, let’s move to the other one. Take the other section of your ponytail and divide it into two equal sections. Take one of the sections and start braiding just like you did with the other side.

Take the lower section of hair and keep braiding it while adding on the remaining small sections of hair that you got from the first two side braids. Keep on braiding till you reach the bottom and are left with no remaining sections. Gently tease the braid for a more voluminous look.

STEP 7: Pin it up
