Want fewer tangles after swimming? Try this protective hair hack 🌊

Transcript

Want fewer tangles after swimming? Try this protective hair hack 🌊 But first, ruin and add a little accent braid for the cuteness factor. Part off a triangle section and braid it out just long enough so that it can reach in the back. And then we're going to use the topsy tail tool and flip it through right at the very beginning and unfold it. Then smooth all of the hair down into a low pony and I'm using two nylon hair ties to hold her thick hair. Remember to add that braid in from the very beginning. Then grab some extra nylon hair ties and we're just going to loop them together to create a chain. Anchor that very first one up on the main pony and then we're just going to weave the hair back and forth between the colors. I got about two wraps with each color and that will totally depend on the thickness of hair. You don't want the hair ties to be too tight or too loose, you want them to be like goldilocks and locks right in between. And that's it. It's super quick and simple. This is such a great way to protect your long hair when you're going swimming. Last but not least, remember to sunscreen those part lines. Follow along for more hair tips.
