Then, divide it down the center, and create two French braids on each side. Lift them slightly off the scalp and direct them toward the back. When you reach the back crown, stop picking up extra hair at the sides, and three-strand braid down to the ends. Secure with elastics. Pin them out of the way. Step 2: Brush the sides up and back.

Arrange artfully, so some are at the base, and some show on top of the chignon.  Step 5: Pull the bottom section up and subdivide it to create two upward moving braids. Secure the ends with elastic and wrap them around the chignon as you complete each braid. Slide beads, flowers, or jewels onto a hairpin and add for extra sparkle.  Hair: @liorfadlon7 @liorfadlonhair Makeup: @talya_madmon Name: Twist and Pout Descriptor: A super-simple ponytail that’s selfie-ready Best for Dense, straight hair Tools needed: Blow dryer, flat brush, round brush, hairpins          Step 1: Prep hair with BIOTOP 20 Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner.
