And last but not least, let's braid your hair with a pencil!
Yep, you read that right, a pencil. Keeping a pencil in the hair while braiding helps to anchor the strands, as well as give them that elegant, looped shape.

Here’s how you can do the genius technique on your own, all in under 5 minutes…

Start with the basics
Tie your hair up into a high pony tail, making sure that your strands are smooth, frizz-free, and ready to be braided.

Add that pencil
Carefully stick a pencil behind the inner layer of hair so that it sits parallel with the band on the outside of the pony tail.

Start braiding
Grasp onto the ends of your locks, and separate them into three equal sections. From there, simply make a basic braid (the classic over-under using three sections).

Remove that pencil
Once you are finished braiding, secure the end with a hair band, then move your hands so that they sit at the crown of your head.

From there, you can finally remove that pencil by simply pulling it out horizontally by its eraser. You should then be met with some seriously beautiful loops surrounding the original basic braid.

Secure it tight
At this point, you can either choose to leave your hair as it is, or you can tuck the leftover strands in by using a couple of bobby pins. Personally, I prefer the latter, but don’t worry, this extra step is super easy to complete!

Just take the pins and attach one at the base of your original pony tail and one right underneath the very end of the braid.

Believe it or not, this is a look that can be done completely solo and, as I mentioned, in under 5 minutes flat!
