Step 11: Join this new, crossed piece with section one. Step 12: Repeat steps nine through eleven, only hold sections one and two in your right hand and using your left pointer finger pull a chunk of hair from the left side of your head from the hair hanging down, as if you were french braiding. REPEAT STEPS 9-12 ALTERNATING SIDES! Step 13: Pull sections one and two away from each other as if you were tightening a pony tail. (Don’t worry about the end result being too tight. This kind of braid always finds its way to become loose.) Voila! You are finished. You can always spice it up by curling your hair as well, or throw your own little twist in it!
