Tessi Wood: Quick Elastic Style: Short Hair vs Long Hair

This is another style that is great for short or long hair. Long hair can then be pulled into a pony or messy bun, or simply left down as we do here. Also a great back to school style as it is quick and will stay looking nice all day! Follow along and we will show you how to do it.

Short Hair

Start in the crown section with a deep side part.
With slightly damp hair and spray gel to tame fly aways. (I will link the products we use in the description.)
We will be splitting the hair into 5 even sections parallel to the part line.
Start with a section 1 inch wide by 4 inches in length.
Secure with an elastic.
The next section starts the same size as the first but we split it into two.
Secure each section with an elastic.
Now take the first pony and split it into two.
Add one section into the left pony and one into the right.
Part off a new section the same size as the first.
You can either secure it with an elastic by itself and then add in the two previous ponies, or add the hair all in together and secure it with an elastic.
Repeat again by splitting the next section into two.
Split the pony in half and secure one side to the right section and one to the left.
Part off the last section and secure the ponytails into it securing with an elastic in the middle of the section.
Add a bow! These bows are from Labelle Baby which I will link below.

Long Hair

We basically do it the exact same. Start with a deep side part and damp hair sprayed with spray gel.
We will split the hair into 5 equal sections again parallel to the part line.
For Quincy's hair I do like to secure the section first with an elastic, before adding in the previous ponytail. This helps define the lines a little bit better in the design.
Continue with the 1-2 pattern until you have all 5 sections secured.
