How to do a Pull Through Braid?

Published in Hair styling 2 mins read

A pull-through braid creates a beautiful braided look without actually braiding! It primarily involves creating a series of ponytails and pulling them through each other. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

  1. Start with a High Ponytail: Begin by creating a high ponytail and securing it with an elastic. Tighten the elastic.
  2. Split the Ponytail: Divide the ponytail in half, creating a split.
  3. Create a Second Ponytail: Create a second ponytail directly beneath the first.
  4. Pull Through: Take the bottom ponytail and pull it up and through the split in the first ponytail.
  5. Tighten: After pulling it through, gently tighten the hair around the base of the first ponytail to create volume and a more defined "braid" look.
  6. Repeat: Continue creating new ponytails and pulling them through the previous one, tightening each time, until you reach the end of your hair.
  7. Secure the End: Secure the last ponytail with an elastic.
  8. Adjust and Style: Gently pull at the sections of the "braid" to loosen and create a fuller, more textured look. You can also add hairspray for hold.
