Method Two: Gather all the hair together in the centre of the back of her head. Make sure its nice and smooth, then pop the bobble into the hair. Twist the bobble about three times to secure in place. Try and keep the whole ponytail smooth.

No bobble? No Problem! Just tie a knot in it!
Give the hair a gentle brush through so its smooth, pull it into two bunches. knot these together, and again. This can be secured with pins or a ribbon if you can find any as they weren't on the Tool List.

3. The Bun

Buns are good if its a sports day, hair is out of the face. Give the hair a good brush through so its nice and smooth. Gather it all up on one side as if you were putting it in a ponytail. Twist and twist and twist, gather it into a round bun shape, then secure it with a bobble or hair pins.

4. The Simple Braid

Also known as a plait, once you've mastered the basic braid, its onwards and upwards to all the styles a braid can bring. Brush the hair through so its smooth, and gather it into a high pony tail, tie a bobble in it. Divide the pony tail into three evenly sized segments. Move the farthest away strand into the middle, move the opposite side into the middle and repeat, working your way down. Tie a bobble at the bottom.

5. The Twisted Braid Pony Tail

Phew, what a tongue-twister! Brush the hair, secure a high ponytail with a bobble. Pick out a section of hair, and put a braid in it all the way to the bottom, secure this with a bobble at the bottom. Twist the braid around the ponytail three or four times, untie the braid and secure both the ponytail and the braid with the bobble at the bottom.
