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.
