PigTails

To give a little history on the pigtails.  I actually dislike the look of pigtails.  My mom will always put my daughters hair in pigtails when she has her because I won't.  My daughter loves them so this is my version of the pigtails.

I started by pulling her bangs  to the side ( her bangs are still growing out)  I gave them a side swoop 

Then make your center part.

Here is were I added a little flair.  I pulled a small amount of hair and secured it with an elastic (as shown below)  I made a pull thru twist in it. and then pulled the all the remaining hair into a ponytail.

Then I curled her pigtails into ringlets.

Another Toddler SideWinder Fun

A reminder to anyone who wants to enter today is the last day before we give away 2 sets of SideWinders

My 3 year old brings me the sidewinders everyday and wants them put in her hair. 

So here is another simple fun idea.

I made a zig-zag part in her hair and then made 2 ponytails and then added the sidewinders(http://www.hairholders.com/) in colors of pink and purple.  These were the 2 colors she picked. 

Sprucing up Plain old Braids

The older my daughter is getting the more she keeps telling me she wants quick styles.  I get tired of plain things in order to compromise between the 2 of us.  This is the style we came up with.

This is as simple as making 2 french braids the only change is that I added a yellow ribbon. 

I made this really simple and took a yellow ribbon and folded it in half.  I added one side of the ribbon to one of the 3 pieces of hair and added another to 1 of the other pieces of hair.  The 3 strand of hair is by itself. 

Then frenchbraid to the end.  As the braid loosens through the day the ribbon shows more. 

Once the braids were done I tied them around the ponytail holders and made a bow.

Toddler SideWinders' Fun

Toddler fun with SideWinders from http://hairholders.com/ 

The Sidewinder accessories have been so much fun.  I did my daughters hair for our town celebration.  She got so many compliments on her hair. 

This fun hairstyle fits my toddler's personality perfectly.

I made 3 small ponytails across the front of her hair as shown below.  Then I took pink and clear sidewinders (http://hairholders.com/) click on the link to order or to show you how to use them.  I wrapped the sidewinders around all 3 ponytails.
