Short step-by-step tutorial, describing how to fake the perfect plait without having any braiding skills:

  2. Split the first one and put the second ponytail between the two sections of the first pony, clip it up out of the way.
  3. Add some loose hair to the two sections of the first ponytail to make the third ponytail.
  4. Unclip the ponytail you’ve previously clipped up, split it in two.
  5. Continue your braid, repeating the steps.

The above technique will help you to master a plait looking almost like the regular . The only difference is that the pull-through braid is a lot simpler. Beginners, rejoice!

And now let’s see some finished hairstyles!

#1: Rapunzel-Esque Braid

For girls with extra-long hair, it’s always a good idea to channel their inner Rapunzel for a romantic yet casual look. The cute Disney-inspired look is achievable with just a few steps and the help of hairspray or volume powder.

#2: Tuck-In Braid

With the pull through braid you need to use elastics for each ponytail, and they are usually visible. While it’s okay for your casual braid, you may want to hide them for your formal hairstyle. Wrap each elastic with a strand of hair and pull at the edges of your braid once it’s finished to achieve a lacier look.

#3: Messy Braided Ponytail

Pictures like this say it all: a casual checked shirt and a messy braid for the ultimate weekend hangout. Do your best with a straightforward pull through braid and then do an even better job messing it up. You will have fun doing the hairstyle and end up with a cool ‘I woke up like this’ look.

#4: Double Trouble Braids

#5: Diagonal Medieval

Let your pull-through braid sit diagonally, and you will get a brand new half up style! Brush your hair and start ‘braiding’ (if it can be called so) from the left side until reaching the right side of the head. Pull out braid to make it fuller. Curl the ends of your free-hanging locks for a fairy style.

#6: Oversized Side Braid

Think of a nineties pop music video. Remember the and side braids? It’s time to reenact while remodeling. Use invisible small hair bands for the braid and add a messy finish for locks around as if you were not working too hard on your hair today.

#7: Crowned Ice Queen

All-around braids make us travel north. Inspired by traditional Icelandic hairstyles and icy landscapes, the will suit almost any kind of event or weather. In the winter it won’t get between your scarf and you neck, in the summer it will keep you effortlessly cool.

#8: Happy Hour Braid

Start this hairstyle with a pull through ponytail and apply the technique described in the beginning of this article. Do not stretch the braid, on the contrary, “squeeze” it in length, as you need a more compact plait to pin it up as an updo.

#9: The Pony-Braid
