Loose curls, curls, and tight curls. All blonde and beautiful!

Why are my pony tails never this pretty? Here are my theories:
-I don't want to ruin my hair right after I curl it!
-I have this nasty habit of ALWAYS brushing my hair back into ponies!
-I don't have any hair clips any where close to that beautiful!
So how can you recreate this? DON'T BE ME!!! Don't be afraid to pull freshly curled hair back, do not brush it, you will loose half of those pretty waves on top by doing that, and don't be cheap like me (but if you are it would still be super cute even without a clip!).
For best results start out with curled or wavy hair.
Use two invisible elastics and make two pony tails, one right on top of the other.
Start with the top pony and take small pieces (small being about the size of one eighth to one tenth of the hair in that pony), wrap them around your fingers to create loops, and then pin in place against the head.
Keep doing this, saving the pieces closest to the middle for last so that you are able to blend the two buns together well.
It looks like a french braid but it's so much more! Here is how to recreate it:
Take two fairly big chunks of hair from either above or right behind your ears, cross one over the other on the back of your head and bobby pin in place.
Get a couple of sections right below where your previous ones came from, cross them and bobby pin in place.
You will probably have to do this only two or three times, when you reach the end wrap the last two strands you had around all of your hair, bobby pin them and for extra security you can add a clear elastic and hide it under those last two strands you had to wrap around.
