You need to brush through the tail first using a main comb or a body brush. Dampen it with a sponge, and then take three small sections from the top. Start plaiting those, and every time you reach the third section, add in another little bit of hair, from a different side each time. When you get about a third of the way down the tail, stop adding in bits and just plait normally down to almost the bottom. Tie the end with a plaiting band and then double up the single plait and loop it under itself. Finally secure the loop with an elastic band!

Braiding a tail can be hard to do. I suggest looking for a online video.

You should put an odd number down the neck and then when you have plaited the forlock up this makes it an even number! So usually 11 down the neck and the forlock makes it 12
