Triple Twisted Ponytail | Day 4

4res2 3res2 1resizeded 2resizeded

It’s Thursday.  Which means tomorrow is Friday.  And I usually wash my hair Friday’s because it’s also date night and the man likes fresh smelling hair.  I don’t see what the big deal is…  but I try to please when I can haha!!  Luckily I haven’t washed my hair since Monday so we’re good.  The fourth and fifth day always call for some type of  ponytail or bun.  I thought this was a fun twist on your regular ponytail and I hope you love it just as much as I do!

Remember, if you try out one of these styles tag #thirtythirtyhair on instagram!  I would LOVE to see how you’re wearing and being inspired by these hairstyles!

Step-by-steps:

  1. Tease the roots and split the hair into three vertical sections.  So you’ll have one section on the left, one on the right and one down the middle
  2. Put the two sections near your face over your shoulders as we will be working with the middle section.  Tease the middle section from top to bottom.
  3. Take that section and twist it vertically, wrapping around your middle or index finger as a guide.  Pin the twist in place using sturdy bobby pins
  4. Take your left section and twist it the same way just right next to that first part you made
  5. Take your right section and drape and twist the hair over both twists you’ve just created and pin in place.

Helpful Hints: If you have fly-a-ways make sure to use a good hairspray.  I sometimes forget this step and always end up with little stray strands!  If you feel like the bobby pins aren’t holding the hair, double up on them.  The only one that needs to be hidden is that very last one so go ahead and do what you need to to make them secure.  And if you’re a hater on bobby pins, secure the first two twists with clear elastics.

CHECK THESE VIDEOS OUT!!!

  1. That’s gorgeous! I have shorter hair but just had my clip in extensions customized/shortened last night! If I don’t get a chance to wash my hair before we go out tomorrow, I am definitely going to try this!
    It’s so unique, pretty, and looks much harder than it was.
    I have started using curved bobby pins. They are a game changer!

  3. I’m LOVING your 30|30 challenge! And this is such a lovely, simple hairstyle. Also, I pretty much don’t do YouTube, so thanks for including written instructions–I get everything I need from those!
