The second hairstyle I chose was a ponytail with two braids. It was a fairly simple hairstyle, taking two front sections of hair before putting the rest up into a ponytail. Then I did a simple three strand braid for both sections (one at a time) until it reached the elastic holding my ponytail. To connect the braid to the ponytail, I added a small amount of hair from the ponytail into each strand of my braid, then continued until I reached the ends of my hair. I found my arms were quite sore and tired by the end of the braids, but overall the hairstyle only took around 10-15 minutes. After both braids were complete, I felt like the braids did not connect nicely to the base of my ponytail, so I used one bobby pin on each side to secure the braid to the hair tie.
