Twisted braided ponytail

This is one of my go-to hairdos when I am in a hurry. It works best if the hair is pretty wet and/or slicked with pomade to keep all the flyaways at bay. Just part the hair in the middle (or anywhere else you'd like) to the crown and section off a small piece on each side at the front and start twisting down to the middle adding hair to the twist as you go. If your daughter is more obliging than mine you can have her hold one side while you do the other, otherwise clip it while you do the other side. Then just bring the two sides together making sure the hair that's not twisted is laying nice and flat, braid down to the end.
