I wanted to post this picture, because this was after swim lessons & then swimming at home for another hour or so & it still held up pretty good. I'm always trying to think of things, especially in the summer that will stay in all day long & I don't have to redo after playing, swimming or naptime. I think it stayed pretty good.
The closer your rubberbands are, the better the hair will stay in, usually. You won't have to be fixing it thru out the whole day. I just parted her hair into thirds. Clipped the top & bottom so I could just work with middle. Then I sectioned her hair off adding rubberbands along the way, doing a zig-zag. At the end, I just combed it all over to one side and pulled it all together into a messy, side pony.
This turns out really cute & is super easy!! You just twist down, merging all the pieces with it the whole way down (almost like a frenchbraid) but twisting the pieces together the same way.
Using the end of a tail comb, line up from the center of left eye to the center part. Slice upward. Working off that line, create an asymmetrical rectangle from the front right slicing all the way until it meets the left part.
I like to pull what is not going into the twist into a pony tail, so I do not include it at all in the twist.
Moving to the right front, grab a small section & overdirect it back & twist.
Take a similar section immediately below the first & merge it with the first twist & continue to twist to the back.
Work through the perimeter of the rectangle by pulling small sections above & below the original twists & including them into the twist. Continue until you reach the end of rectangle.
Secure it with a bobby pin.
So it's pretty simple. I kept the rest of the hair down & waved it, but you could pull it into a low ponytail too.
