Put away your old elastics, clips, and
headbands! This season, an infinity braid is the only accessory you need
for your low ponytail. It's perfect for keeping your hair on lock
without relying on your tired hair accessories. Freshen up your
hairstyles with this unique braiding technique; don't worry, it's easier
than you think.
1.
Divide your hair in two parts, and take a small piece of hair from the right side.

2.
Cross the piece of hair over the right part that is directly next to it.
3.
Then, cross it under the left part.

4.
Wrap it around the left part.
5.
Then take it under and around the right part. It´s like creating the numeral eight.

6.
Continue by crossing the piece of hair under the left part again. By
now, you'll start to run out of hair. So, pick up a new piece of
hair—this time from the left side—and incorporate it with the piece of
hair you already have. If your hair is shorter than the model's, you
might have to pick up a piece of hair sooner.
7.
Take the joined
piece of hair, and cross it over the left part, then under and around
the right part. Then go back under and around the left part. Again, pick
up a new piece of hair when you start to run out of hair, join the
pieces together, and continue like this for a few inches.

8.
To secure the braid, take your piece of hair in between the two parts
of hair so it's on the backside of the braid; then take a small piece of
hair from each side of the parts, still on the backside, join them
together and secure with a small clear elastic or one in the same color
as your hair.
