step 1
Brush hair back away from face.

step 2
Take a section of your hair from the side and pull toward the back of your hair.

step 3
Twist the section while pulling back. Bring the hair across the back of your head and secure to the opposite side picking up a little bit of the middle section of hair that is brushed back for extra security (see picture).

step 4
Take the other side and again twist and pull back. Cross hair over the opposite section. Swing monkey band under, up and around middle section then secure the newly twisted section with the other end of the monkey band. Remember to pick up a little of the middle section that is hanging down for unity and extra security.
