Step-By-Step Instructions:

Pull hair back into a high ponytail. Before you begin, wet the ponytail.  If you don’t want to wet the hair you could also use hair gel. Take the ponytail and separate one small piece of hair on the outside right. With the small piece…. make a triangle shape- down and and up to the left. You will take it on top of the ponytail, around the back of the ponytail and pull through the triangle. Slide your piece up and grab another small piece, add it to the first piece and repeat step 4. You will continue this technique all the way down and secure with an elastic. See video for more detailed instructions as well as a “twist” to this hairstyle.
