Tying your hair at home can be quick and simple, with various styles ranging from basic ponytails to slightly more intricate twists, using just a few tools like a rubber band or hair tie.
Simple Ways to Tie Your Hair
Whether you're looking for a quick way to get hair out of your face or a casual style, here are a few common methods:
- Basic Ponytail: Gather all your hair back at your desired height (low, mid, or high) and secure it with a hair tie.
- Simple Bun: Form a ponytail, then twist the hair around the base of the ponytail and secure with another hair tie or bobby pins.
- Basic Braid: Divide your hair into three sections and cross the outer sections over the middle section alternately until you reach the end, then secure with a hair tie.
- Half-Up, Half-Down: Take the top section of your hair and secure it with a hair tie, leaving the rest down.
Creating a Low Side Ponytail with a Twist
One simple yet elegant way to tie your hair involves creating a twisted effect, as shown in the reference video. This style works well for low ponytails.
Here are the steps to create a low side ponytail with a twist:
- Gather Hair: Start by brushing your hair and gathering it to one side, towards the nape of your neck.
- Secure the Base: Now take a rubber band. And just make a low. Side. Ponytail okay. Ensure it's snug but not too tight.
- Prepare for the Twist: so now what you have to do is make an opening right in the center. This means creating a gap in the hair just above the rubber band, splitting the hair into two sections.
- Perform the Flip: And flip the ponytail. Inwards. Take the end of the ponytail and loop it up and through the opening you created above the hair tie. Pull the ponytail all the way through the gap, downwards.
- Tighten: Gently tug on the ponytail to tighten the twisted section above the hair tie.
This creates a neat, twisted detail at the base of the ponytail.

The best way to tie your hair at home depends on your hair length, texture, and the desired look. Experimenting with these basic techniques will help you find the easiest and most flattering styles for you.
