- Styling Steps:
- Wash the hair and allow it to air dry for about 80% of the way.

- Secure this section to the head by pinning it in place.
- Repeat the twisting process on the left section, making sure to twist it in the same direction and secure with clips.
- Leave the pinned sections overnight to create waves as the hair dries.

- Determine the desired height for the ponytail, whether low or mid-height, and gather the hair with your hand. A fine-tooth comb can help smooth the hair.
- For a high ponytail, flip the head upside down and gather the hair, then return to a standing position while holding the hair. Comb through any bumps to smooth it out.
- Tie the hair, adjusting the number of loops based on hair thickness and the type of tie used.
- Your ponytail is now complete, and you can add some soft waves to the ends using a curling iron if desired by dividing the hair into three sections and creating large curls.
