Get it twisted

If you dig the braided look as much as we do, then you’ll totally flip out for these out of the box styles that’ll have your friends oohing and aahing! Learn how to recreate them below thanks to celebrity hairstylist Lachers Reese of Angelo David Salon.

The dressed up braided pony

First, brush your hair to ensure a smooth palette for styling.

Ponytail braid step 1

Pull it back into a high ponytail, and wrap a small section of hair from the bottom
of your ponytail around the base. Secure with a bobby pin.

Ponytail braid step 2

Grab another small section of hair from the bottom of your ponytail, and leave it out
before you begin braiding. Create a very relaxed braid on the rest of your pony. Tie off the end
with an elastic band (preferably the same color as your hair).

Ponytail braid step 3

Flatten your braid with a straightening iron, and then tug at the sides to expand/loosen the braid.

Ponytail braid step 4

Take that small section of hair you left out earlier, and slowly weave it
all the way down the center of your braid.

Ponytail braid step 5

Secure the end with an elastic hair band, spritz on some hairspray and you’re ready to roll.
