Toddler Ringlets

My Toddler is going through the I want only 1 elastic if I get 2 in its a miracle so we have been doing a lot of the same styles.  So here is a fun simple hairstyle for toddlers who want plain hair.
We made ringlets in her hair and pulled the bangs back with a Rockin Bobbie Pin
Last month, my camera broke & I am unable to look thru the screen to see what I'm taking a picture of. I'm glad it still takes pictures!! This is super simple & it would be fun to do on 2 half up piggies also.
Start with 2 basic pig tails
Take a section from one side & braid it & secure to the other piggy with an elastic
Then take another (smaller than the braid) section from the opposite the braid is in
Twist the section so it is easier to wrap over the braid. Begin wrapping evenly until you get to the other side
Secure with an elastic on the opposite pony. Then we finished the ponies with messy buns
We are loving ribbon because we're not losing pairs like with the clips. But when I do messy buns - I do not love the look of wrapping a ribbon around the bun - it can look silly sometimes. So if you tie your bow then slide a bobby pin right in the middle - you then just push the bobby pin into the hair where you want placed.

Here's the front view - by the time I tried taking a couple of the back view - my camera had had it & I think the battery died (can't tell since the screen doesn't work:) Scroll back to the top of this post to see the back again!

Intricate Braided Updo



A lovely braided updo style from Bridal Hair on Maui.

FrenchBraid Bands to Low Side Pony


This was fun simple and very quick. I started by making a small french braid along the right side of her head.  Braid it all the way down.
      Make another small french braid along the other side of her head braid all the way to the ends.
                                                        Pull all the hair into a low side ponytail.
                                          I then wrapped her hair around the elastic to hide it.

5 Braids Fun


I made a very small french braid above her ear.  Then make a parallel braid above the first.  The top braid goes from the center of her head straight back.  Do the same on the other side of her head.  There will be 5 braids all together.

Once the braids are done put all the hair into a ponytail.
I didn't pull the hair all the way through on the last round through the elastic.
