4 Easy Steps: Perfect Pigtails for Adults

Step #1:

Split your hair in half from the center of your hairline all the way to the nape of your neck.

Step #2:

Comb all of the hair from the right side of the split and gather it down toward the area right behind your ear. Secure it with a hair elastic, making sure it is fairly tight. Repeat on the other side.

Step #3:

To dress up your pigtails, take a small section of hair from underneath the ponytail and wrap it securely around the hair elastic. Use a bobby pin to secure it in place under your ponytail.

Step #4:

Gently pull on the hair above the pigtails so it is not so snug to the head—this also gives it a lithe bit more body.
