Zig Zag Braids

This is a kinda fun style for the odd occasion. I found a variation of this somewhere in blogland but I can't recall where exactly so I apologise if it's yours and I haven't given you credit.

To begin this style separate the hair into 6 ponies as seen here:

Begin braiding from the bottom left (just a regular braid and add it into the bottom right pony. Now take the bottom right pony and braid it up to the middle left pony and add it in:

Now do the same thing but start at top right and go to top left and then middle right... you should now have two ponies:

Next take one of the ponies and braid it adding it to the other pony so you only have one side-pony now:

She fell asleep for the next part:

I now took the pony and braided it into 3 uneven braids. You could do a bun or leave it as a ponytail if you wanted.

Add in a cute bow and you are good to go :)

Basic Pony Tails

Kenz wanted something a little more simple today... she asked for two pony tails so I complied. The only thing is with ponies her hair from the front of her head always falls out into her eyes so I always modify it. Here is an easy way to keep shorter hairs in front in the pony. (Candice, this will work for Ella too :) )
To start I pull back the bangs in a square section(these two were actually left over from yesterday):

Next I take the right section and cross it over adding it to the next square left section (this works better on wet or damp hair). And I cross the left over to the next right section:

Continue in the same way for the third section so the hair should like somewhat like this:

Next I parted the remaining hair and put it into two ponies (or you can do one, whatever you prefer!) If you do two ponies cross the top ponies over again before you add them in:

Add some cute bows on the ponies:

Hair Bow Test

So I made up some new bows the other day and wanted to test how well they would hold in baby hair and since I have a baby (although he is a BOY... my hubby is gonna kill me!) I thought I would try them in his almost non-existent hair! TADA:

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:

Ribbon Headband, Braids and a Bow

So Miss Squirmy wasn't too co-operative when it comes to pics today so I will try my best to explain.
I started off with a long piece of ribbon and wrapped it across the top of her head with the tails of the ribbon hanging down either side. Then I took her bangs and made them into tiny ponies on the front of the ribbon and attached those ponies to two tiny ponies behind the ribbon. Then I brought those together.
Next I started braiding the side of her hair... just regular old braids, nothing fancy... except that for one of the pieces of the braid I used the ribbon and just two sections of hair. When those were done I attached them in the back under the rest of her hair.

Finally I took that top pony and used it as the center piece for the french braid I did with the rest of her hair. When I was done the braid I took the leftover ribbon from the other two braids and tied it around the braid at the neck and added a matching bow.

This do didn't really take all that long and was great for keeping her hair (bangs and all) off of her face.

My apologies to the person I got this from because I can't remember who it was but I got the general idea from another blog somewhere... if it was you let me know and I'll give you the credit :)

This one could also just have the two side braids attached in the back with the hair left down... this is what we had when we took out just the middle braid:

If anybody has any questions on how I do a particular style or has something that they would like me to show just leave a comment and let me know!

Chain Link Crown

This do takes a little more time than most the ones I do but it is the kind of hairstyle I will leave up for at least 2 days. It's pretty self explanatory if you look at the pics and I'm not too good with words today so I won't describe how to do it. Now today we did it with dry hair, normally I would do it with damp hair and I think I will from now on. With her hair dry there are too many fly-aways and the parts aren't as neat as they should be.

Twists and Ponies

Yet another do with her hair pulled back off her face with two mini ponies. This time I twisted the two front ponies into two more smaller ones behind those and then took those ponies into the two main ponies. (I know... I can't describe today... look at the pics :) )
Next I put a couple of little twists in the ponies and added some little green clips and we were done!
