I think the steps I don’t understand / aren’t very clear from the pictures are
I assume you clip the blue “end” to the top of your head temporarily at step 4?
what goes through the pink loop at the end? Just the aforentioned “end”? Or just the blue loop? If the first, what’s the loop even for? If the second, what happens with the blue end?
how many hair ties are you left with in your hair at the end? 0? 1? 2?

You don’t need to clip it. It just rests there. The blue loop gets placed through the pink loop and the rest of the hair attached to the blue loop rests on top in Step 7. The “rubber band” is also removed as it’s no longer needed. (Will explain this at the end)

The ‘blue’ loop of hair that’s tied up.

The instructions leave both in. I say it depends on your own hair density. You can leave the blue one in if you want/need more volume, as it’s another “bump” so it doesn’t rest flat. It’s possible to do it both with and without the one on the blue section of hair.
Of course. This ‘guide’ completely avoids the topic of hair density, and not everyone is going to be able to use this style if the hair is naturally thin. It also helps if your hair doesn’t naturally rest straight. A bit of waviness is definitely the way to go.
Sorry for editing so much. I’m realizing that there are a couple ways you could do this, and I’m attempting to be as clear as possible. My most recent realization is that the end of the blue loop probably is the last part to get folded over after everything else is done.
That totally depends on your hair. If it were like mine back in my teenage years, not even a braid would have a chance to survive with how smooth it was. I just had to shake my head a bit and it’d all come undone. However, because the pink loop is crossed and comes to rest at the bottom of the blue loop, as long as it’s decently tight it shouldn’t really go anywhere quickly. Please check my edits on the previous one as I have had a few thoughts after posting that are likely the way it was intended.

Thank you for the clarifications! I positively suck at doing my hair, but will definitely give this a try :)
One more question though, wouldn’t the blue loop slip out of the pink loop over time, from the weight of the blue “end”?
