What the style looks like from the back:
and from the side:
What you need: - metal-free hair band
- 2 hairsticks
- hair pins (whatever you usually use to pin your hair will do)
Instructions: - Ponytail your hair and fasten with a metal-free hair band.
- Place the 2 sticks in an X shape (the sticks need to form 90° angles) behind the hair band in your hair.
We will name the 4 ends of the shape “X” formed by the sticks like this: upper-left is A, lower-left is B, lower-right is C and upper-right is D. The X in the ‘diagram’ represents the 2 sticks.

- Now, divide your hair in 4 equal-sized sections by first parting the ponytail in a vertical way, like this: |; then parting both halfs horizontally, like this: __. Once you have finished the style, you will see a plus-shape (+) in your bun.
Number the strands: upper-left is 1, lower-left is 2, lower-right is 3, upper-left is 4.

- Now we will start the weaving. Take strand 1 (upper-left) and bring it UNDER point A (again, upper-left), OVER point B, UNDER point C, OVER point D, … Repeat this alternating under-over-movement until you run out of hair. Tuck the ends in and pin your first strand in place.
- Pick up strand 2. Bring it under B, over C, under D, over A, … Tuck and pin your second strand in place.
- Now pick up strand 3. Bring it under C, over D, under A, over B, … Tuck and pin the third strand in place.
- Pick up your last strand. Bring it under D, over A, under B, over C, … Tuck and pin the final strand in place.
