The "H"

If you haven't noticed, I've been really into doing simple braids lately. They're quick and easy and almost anyone can do them, and not only that but there is so much you can do with them!
This is a pretty quick and easy style again. Basically it's two ponies with braids in the front and back joining each pony. Once the braids were added and the ponies were done, I took a small chunk of hair from one pony, braided it and added it to the other pony. Added some bows and we were out the door.
Take a look, it looks like an "H":View from the back, underneath the left pony:Just another back view, I apologise for my pics on this do, they weren't the greatest and there weren't very many:This is the best front shot I got, she did not want her pics taken!

Braids to the Side

Here's a quick and easy do to spice up the same old ponytail. Now I'm not a lover of side ponies or buns or anything. I like symmetry. But for some reason we've been doing a lot of side do's on Kenz the last little while and I still think they're cute.
This one wasn't meant to be what it is, but it worked.
To do this one, part the har just behind the ears and put two little ponies in the front and two in the back. Braid the front ponies and add them to the back ones. Take the left back pony now and braid it adding it to the right one. Now form a messy bun, or whatever you want from here and add a bow to finish the look. Takes less than five minutes and still looks cute.From the left side:From the right side:From the front:

Headband Style Braids

So I don't really have the words coming to me tonight to describe this hairdo, so hopefully the pics will do a decent job. Basically it's 2 (regular) braids in front and they are joined to a (regular) braided headband in the back (2 braids in front, 4 in back). Cute for those with trouble frenchbraiding a headband or for those with daughters with shorter hair in the front.

Oh, and because the braids are basically a little braid, then elastic, then little braid, elastic, etc... this one can stay in a few days for a trip to Grandmas (yes, this is what she did, it still looked perfect when she came home, and Grandma just had to comb out the back hair!)

Twisted and Braided Ponies

Again I didn't do step by step pics because I didn't think this would be as cute as it is, but this style I think may have made it onto my favourites list. It's fairly quick and easy as well so most people can do this style.To start off, part the hair down the midle and divide each side into 3 (or more) sections and put each section into a pony. Now cross the top two ponies over each other twice (so the same sides hook into the next elastic) and hook to the next pony. Continue down to the last ponies and braid the ponies to the bottoms. It really is simpler than it sounds and cute too! Here's a back/sidish view:

Random Twists and Things

I didn't really have a plan with this style and wasn't intending to make it a post, but it turned out kinda cute and funky so here are the pics of her hair all finished:
To start this hairstyle, divide the hair in half horizontally at the crown. Next I divided the top in half and did 5 little ponies across the front of her head. I used diamond shaped parts to spice it up a bit.In the second section I put in three little ponies and then the fun parts start. Unfortunately I didn't do step by step, but if you look closely at the pics you should be able to see what I did.
In the front centre pony I did a twist braid and held it at the back centre pony with a clip. On each side I did a double cross/twist thingy and attached the two front middle ponies to the twist and back pony with an elastic. The sides were put together.
Next I twist braided the middle pony down as far as her hair would let me and put in an elastic. Then I took the two sides and twisted them together as far down as I could (this left me with two twists on top of each other). Now I twisted those twist braids together and secured them with an elastic. I covered the elastic with just a small clip. Back view of the twists: Front view:
