How many rows you do is up to you.
The row will have a top half and a bottom half. This will make it easier to grab sections when you are doing the actual braid.
If you used extensions, you can seal them with boiling water instead. Dip the end of each braid in boiling water and then dry it off with a towel.

You can also create two faux upside down braids. First, part your hair down the center on the back of your head. Brush your hair out after you lean forward. Even if you brushed it earlier, new tangles may have developed.
If you parted your hair down the middle, then braid the hair on the left and right sides of the part.
To reduce bulk, use a small hair tie or a clear elastic. If you parted your hair down the middle and made two braids, then you’ll need to secure both braids.
If you braided too far, carefully unravel whatever braid is sticking out of the ponytail.
For a fancier bun, try a sock bun or use a foam bun maker.
