hey guys I have a really cool tutorial for you today and it's this surprisingly
easy Chinese staircase braided ponytail I just loved how unique and different
this hairstyle is yet wearable it's just a great way to switch out your everyday
ponytail for something that's a little more chic and fierce you can only
imagine if somebody walked out to this hairstyle I would definitely do a
double-take I love it you guys and a big THANK YOU to Remington for sponsoring
today's video and as always all views and opinions are my own I've worked with
Remington in the past I just love their products because you get salon quality
for a very affordable price and none of this would have been possible without
you guys so thank you for your continuous support so in saying that
let's go ahead and get started so I just finished blow-drying my hair so it's a
little fluffy and frizzy which typically I don't mind but for this braid to turn
out you do want your hair to be really sleek and straight so I'm going to go
ahead and quickly straighten it with this Remington Pro one inch hair
straightener that they kindly gift to me now this hair straightener has five heat
settings and I'm going to use the lowest of the five but if you have more coarse
hair it does go up to 450 degrees I like to section off my hair just so I can get
nice and close to the root because that's where it usually gets the most
frizzy and has the most ways and I'm just going to work my way up my entire
head until it's completely straightened and there's no more wave straighteners
have come such a long way since I started using them girls these days are
so lucky my first hair straightener had one heat setting and it basically just
burnt your hair straight whereas this one the idea behind it is that
everybody's hair is different right so the temperature actually adjusts
based on the moisture in your hair which is great especially if you're somebody
that straightens their hair every single day because just gonna help leave it
healthy smooth and basically damage free there is nothing like freshly washed
straightened tangle free hair it feels so good but I'm going to throw it up
into a high ponytail so we can get started on the braid
okay now that your hair is straight and in a ponytail the first step is grab a
small piece of hair about an inch in size from the outside of the right side
of your ponytail now hold this piece near at the base of it keeping it on the
right side and bring the rest of that piece underneath your ponytail see that
hole on the right so bring your section over your ponytail and then pull it
through that hole you want to make sure that you pull it nice and tight and that
it's sitting right at the base of your ponytail now keep that piece out and
grab another 1 inch size section from the outside of the right side of your
ponytail so now you should have two equal sized sections and again hold
these sections up at the base combining these two sections together keeping them
on at the right side and then bring the rest of your section underneath your
ponytail then bring your section over top and through that hole we've just
created I remember pull it nice and tight and it
should sit just below our previous loop and again grab about a one-inch size
section from the outside of your ponytail and once you have two sections
hold them at their base combining them together and then bring that section
underneath your ponytail then bring them over and you can see I'm using my index
finger and thumb just to reach you the hole and pull up my section room just
remember to pull it nice and tight so it sits below your previous loop and as you
can see the braid is starting to take shape you can see the braid forming on
the right side here's what I keep repeating this pattern as far down your
ponytail as you like and as I'm looking at this footage I can't help but notice
how cool this would look if you only did the top third of your ponytail I decided
to go ahead and braid my entire ponytail and don't be fooled
I definitely snuck in a lot of breaks while I was braiding this hairstyle
definitely doubles as an arm workout once you reach the bottom all you want
to do is secure it off with a hair elastic and you're done
