How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
Start by parting the hair down the middle and securing each side into a high ponytail.
Then, divide each ponytail into two sections and tie a small elastic about an inch down.
This is your first loop.
Pull the bottom section through the gap above the elastic, then repeat, creating consecutive loops down the length.
Once you’ve reached the ends, gently fan out each loop to create the jumbo braid effect.
Finish with a flexible hold hairspray and a touch of shine spray to smooth any flyaways.
It’s a technique that looks intricate but is surprisingly quick once you get the rhythm.
