5 Topsy Tails

This is a fairly straight-forward do so there are no step by step instructions. Basically I parted off the front of her hair into 5 sections and put each into a little pony that I put a topsy tail (pull-through) into. The rest of her hair I just combed smooth and left down

Bangs Hold Back

Kenz has had her hair pulled back a lot lately so today we just did a simple little thing to get her bangs off her face since they are at the stage where they are always in her eyes. We started with a center part and did some little ponies on each side each going into the next horizontally down her head. On the last one we topsy-tailed it and voila. Simple and sweet at the same time!
Please excuse the pics she was not very co-operative today!

Shortie Twists

For those of you out there that think short hair can't be cute, have a got a cute shorty-do for you today!
Miss A has very short baby hair that doesn't part very easily and curls like crazy when I play with it.

So I took two roughly centered small ponies and did some topsy tail (pull throughs) in them. Then I divided each into two and did some corkscrew twists in them. A quick but cute baby do! Isn't it cute!

Fancy French Braid

This twist on a french braid was inspired by one of Kenzie's many Barbie doll's so that is where the credit for this idea is going.
We did this do on both Kenzie and Miss K this morning:
Miss K just has two regular braids braided into a french braid in the middle:

Shortie Topsy

Who remembers the topsy tails that were on the infomercials back in the 80s/90s... I do! I used to have a home made one (thanks dad!) and not too long ago I wanted to achieve the same type of tool so I used a piece of pipe cleaner and some electrical tape and made my own. I did this because topsy-tails are a cute look for little girls with short hair, or long hair, good for keeping shorter pieces tight etc...
Too demonstrate just how cute they are with short hair: Miss A. has 4 tiny little topsy tailed ponies on top of her head (3 across the front, 1 across the back), topped off with a cute bow:
Here, Miss Kenz had 4 tiny topsy tails going across the front of her head into two upside down topsy tail ponies:
