Split hair in half at the nape of your neck, as if you're going to make pigtails.
Braid pigtails. Start from your nape and braid underneath your ears. Secure each braid with a clear elastic.
Pull the braids up over your ears (like a crown) and cross the ends, tucking them underneath each other.
Pin the braids in place. If the braids have bunched up over your ears, that's OK.
Set with strong-hold hairspray.
