Side Braid

First french braid across the front of her hair as shown below.



Next pull the rest of her hair to a side ponytail (on the side where the braid has ended)

Once the hair is in a ponytail make a messy bun of your choice.

Since my daughter is such a girl we added a flower to match her outfit. The flower is from Bybee Bows purchased at http://www.mom-stuff.com/

Here is a side shot of the finished product.

around the head headband

This was a fun one for us to do. It's a little bit different, but it was nice because her hair stay out of her face all day & it looks like a sweet little braided band.
Start by parting a circle around the head, leaving out a headband under the circle.

This is kind of hard to tell in the picture, but you start french braiding from the bottom-middle. Grab your three strands to start with from the hair that is out of the pony. Then as you braid, you bring small pieces from the pony tail from the one side & small pieces from the hair left out from the other side. You can either do inside out french braid or a regular french braid. I actually started with a regular french braid & didn't get very far, I felt it was hard to position my hands, so I stopped very quickly & redid with the inside-out french braid & it was very fast & much easier for my hands to hold the hair. But whatever works best for you - try it!

One you've gone all the way around the head, finish braiding to the end of the hair.

I bobby pinned that little tail so you didn't see the end or the beginning & plus - doesn't that just look like a mullet hanging out:) So definitely pin the end of the braid up so it's not visible.

I added a bow where I had pinned it so you didn't see any of that at all.

Puffy Hairstyle

For your little ones who don't have much hair this is fun and looks really cute. Especially if your little one has a spunky attitude.


First part the top of her hair and pull it to one side in a ponytail as shown below.

Then part and pull the second one together with the first pony tail.




Now do the same for the third.

Here is the finished product.

Ribbon Fun

For everyone who loves ribbons here is a fun idea to put a little spunk in your girls hair style.

I only have the finished product on this one, so I will explain how it is done.

First pull up the front bangs in an elastic. Then pull it through to make the twist. Tie the ribbon of your choice around the elastic. Part the remaining hair down the middle. Split the hair in the elastic into 2 pieces one for each side. To get the ribbon look just wrap it around one section of hair and put into a pigtail. Do the same for the other side. Then make a messy bun of your choice.
