What to use to tie pigtails

To tie pigtails, part your hair down the middle, brush each side smooth, then secure each half with a hair tie at the same height for symmetry.Step‑by‑Step Instructions1. Prepare Your Hair

• Brush thoroughly to remove tangles.
• You can work with clean or “second‑day” hair for better grip.

2. Create the Part

• Use a comb to make a straight middle part from hairline to nape.
• A clean part ensures balanced pigtails.

3. Secure One Side

• Clip or loosely tie one half to keep it out of the way.

4. Make the First Pigtail

• Brush the loose section smooth.
• Gather hair at your desired height (high, mid, or low).
• Secure with a hair tie.

5. Make the Second Pigtail

• Release the other section and repeat the same steps.
• Match the height of the first pigtail for symmetry.

6. Adjust & Finish

• Check that both sides are even.
• Use gel or hairspray to tame flyaways.
• Add accessories if desired.
