You\u2019ll be working with fairly narrow sections of hair, since each braid is only half of a ponytail. To add the volume and texture you need, once each braid is done, gently separate the fibers in the sections. Don\u2019t pull them out of the braid, but let the braided segments feel nice and loose. If little sections do come out, don\u2019t worry; you\u2019ll simply tuck them in at the end.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready to give this braided bun a try?
