Star Power!

I know most fellow hair-bloggers have seen this before because it is a direct idea from Jenn at Girly Do's. This is the second time I've done this now and I absolutely love it because it's something super cute but really surprisingly quick and easy (especially once you've done it a couple times!)This is step one, you are going to need 5 ponies that make up the 5 points of the star. This pic gives an idea of how to divide the parts (I know my parts are pretty crooked!).Step 2: Divide each pony into 2 and partially braid or twist braid each one temporarily securing with an elastic or clip. You should have 10 sections now.Step 3: Take 1 braid and join it with a braid from the pony beside it. These will be the stars inner points. Do this all the way around.Step 4: Take out all of the temporary elastics and join the 5 new ponies in the middle making one big pony.
Now make a bun, you can do anything really. I did a ballerina bun, but messy buns also give it a fun look.For anyone wanting to know, this is how I secured her bangs into this hairstyle:A view from the front. Isn't she pretty!
You can do so many things with this. When Jenn did it she wrapped ribbon around it, you could bead it if you had the desire... you can braid, twist or do nothing with the lines of the star. Plus it can be used for different holidays... you could use it for the fourth of July, Christmas, You could easily make it into a 6 point star, soften up the lines and make it a flower instead, the list of possibilities is endless!
