Based on the provided reference, one way to tie short hair is by creating a mini Dutch braid:
- Section the Hair: Take a section of hair at the front or side where you want the braid.
- Begin the Braid: Divide the section into three strands, like you would for a regular braid.
- Dutch Braid Technique: Instead of crossing the strands over each other (as in a French braid), cross them underneath. This makes the braid stand out from the head.
- Continue Braiding: Add small sections of hair to each strand as you braid, still crossing the strands underneath. Continue this process for a short distance.
- Secure: Secure the end of the braid with a small elastic band.
This creates a small, stylish braid within the shorter hair, effectively "tying" or styling a section of it. The video excerpt suggests this is part of a larger updo, but the mini Dutch braid can also be a standalone style.
