Toddler Roll Fun to Ponytail

Since she doesn't hold still very long pictures are much more difficult to get on a step by step so I will do my best to explain. 

I started with a small front roll across the front of her head.  Then make a second roll facing the opposite direction parallel to the first.  Make a third parallel to the other ones going the same direction as the first. 

Then take the sides and pull them up and combine the rolls to the elastic.  Finally take the 2 sides and pull them to the center for one final ponytail.

Below is the back view.

Frenchbraid Headband

Simple fun and turned out really cute.  The pictures just don't show how cute this style turned out. 

I made a far lateral part and started the frenchbraid on her left side and braided back a little ways to make the braid look like a headband that had been pushed back to the ear line. 

Braid down a little ways and secure with an elastic.

Do the same to the other side.  The hardest part is making sure the braid line up on the top of her head.

Once the braids are done pull them tight and secure with an elastic at the base of her head under all her other hair.

Below is a top view of the braids.

French Braid Headband to Ponytail

This is simple and cute taken from a spin off of Lauren's Hair from Make it or break it.  I made a french braid across the entire front of her head and secured it with an elastic.

Then I pulled it all into a high ponytail.

twisties

Hope everyone had a fantabulous Easter. I'm sure ready for the weather to be more consistent & stay warm every day instead of the wind/rain storms & then some good weather for a few days.

If you haven't learned how to do the corkscrew twist, you could simplify it by doing regular 3 strand braids. & If you don't have enough time - you could just do the top - but the bottom twisties just make it that much cuter!
Start by diving 3 sections right in the front & twist each section.

Do the same underneath - 3 sections 3 twists

Make 2 pigtails. Bring the top twisties all to one side.

& the bottom twisties to the opposite side as the top.

Twist braid each pig tail.

Fold in half & add elastic

Add some bows & you are finished.

Updo Braids and Twists

First make a braid as shown below.

Then take the hair above her ear and make a braid.

Below shows the 2 braids and how they should look.

On the left side leave a small amount of hair above the ear.  Pull the remaining hair all but a small strip of hair along the bottom of her head into a ponytail.

The hair on the left side make a twist.

Pull the top braid and the twist from the left side and secure it and the hair at the bottom into an elastic.

Then pull that hair up into a ponytail. Then take the remaining braid and pull it and wrap it around the ponytail.

Make a messy bun or leave the hair into a ponytail.
