1Gather the hair into a low ponytail

Smoothing hair, gather it all back into a low ponytail near nape of neck. Fix with hair band, tying more loosely than you would with a standard ponytail.

Tip: Use a band that matches your hair color.

2Create a hole above the band

Using a couple of fingers, create a space in the hair just above the hair band. Twist the hair in the ponytail to make it easier to thread through in the next step.
