First, put your hair in a ponytail. High or low depending upon how you want it to look. Next, put a hairstick behind your ponytail holder horizontally. Divide your hair into two equal parts and take each part and put it up, over and behind the hair stick (in the direction towards your face). Now wrap them in opposite directions around the ponytail holder and looping around hairstick. I simply tuck the ends under my hair and it holds, but you can use pins, claws or a scrunchie around the base to hold it. 
In this version (#2), the instructions are exactly the same except after bringing the hair up & over the stick, I then cross the two sections from one side to the other before wrapping it around the base. 
For the braided version, braid hair in two sections after putting it in a ponytail & then follow the same instructions. This is a braided version and with my Peacock hairstick from Sticks & Stones.
