How do I put my hair into frenchbraided pigtails?

I snowboard alot in the winter and i really want an easy way to do my hair so it stays out of my way and looks cute. I would love to put them into two braided pigtails but since my hair is layered they always fall out. I've had my hair french braided in pigtails before and it looks very cute and stays in very well. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

i used to french-braid my short choppy hair all the time. first, you'll need some mousse, hair wax, or pomade to smooth out your hair so it's sticky. part your hair into two sides. when you start braiding, braid it once first (right strand over middle strand, then left strand over middle strand), then take some hair that's right below and underneath the right strand and blend it into the right strand, then braid that strand (now thicker) over the middle strand. take some hair that's right below and underneath the left strand, blend it into the left strand, then braid it over the middle strand. repeat these steps until you're at your neck and you've run out of hair to blend. keep braiding until you want to stop and you're finished!!

some tips: hold the strands and braid as tight as you can because it doesn't look nice when it's sloppy or loose. hairspray a LOT when you're done because when you're grinding snow, the wind can blow out your hard work.

it took me a lot of practice to do it right. good luck!

You part your hair down the middle and put one side in a pigtail while you braid the other side. Then take the side thats up and then braid it.

I know everytime my wife wants her hair frenchbraided she had to go to a salon to have it done. When she gets tired of it at home or it's hot she puts it up in a "Pebbles" (she calls it)..and it is the cutest thing. She uses one of those scrunchees and even though it's layered it does stay up good....
