Since Jordan here was styling the model a middle part, so leaving enough hair to cover the tracks in case of showing the braiding tracks. And Jordan suggested you can leave the hair around the entire perimeter so that you can pull up the hair into a ponytail.

2. After braiding the hair, use oil to ease the itchy feeling of your scalp.

3. Before sewing the bundles onto your hair, you can add a net to create a flatter and stronger foundation. And it's more convenient if you have thin hair.

4. Make sure the first sew the first track underneath the braid, it can help you create a ponytail hairstyle with less trouble. And double the tracks if you use, for example, 4 bundles to create a thick hair look.

5. Don't use heat too high onto your hair, or it will burn your hair and dull the hair color if you have color-processed hair.
