3 Braids
I thought this was pretty explanatory just by looking at it, so I didn't do it step by step. Just divide the hair into 3 sections, french braid each one & then bring them all together in the middle.
Barely pull any of the hair through & what is left hanging straight, wrap around the rubberband. I spray it as I am wrapping it & then secure it at the base with a clear rubberband.

Yay!! Side ponies are in!!
I'm so excited!! My sister, Tami, sent this to me. Someone actually tried something from this blog!! It turned out darling!! She's only sixteen months and look at all that hair. It looks darling how she did 2 rows of it, instead of just 1! If any of you try anything - please email them to me so I can post yours too!! I love to see how it turned out.
I'm trying to do styles that you can wear with short hair too (Ashley's request:)

french twist band
I had to do this post in 2 uploads - so sorry if it seems confusing. It's one continuous post.
This would be really cute on short hair too. You also could do it on both sides to make it look more like a headband.
To french twist hair: Part the hair on the regular part. Then slice down toward the ear, parting the
hair on it's side. It doesn't show in this picture but you want to brush all the hair forward so it stays in a tight french twist.
Take a chunk out of the part & split it in half. Start twisting the hair & after each twist, pick up a small piece of hair from the right side (or if you are twisting on the left side, pick up a small piece of hair from the left) & twist again, pick up another piece & keep on going until you get where you want to be. (Just like picking up pieces in a french braid but only from one side)

Go as far down as you want. Sometimes I like to go all the way down & then do the other side, so they connect underneath to make a full band. Wherever you stop, just tie off with a rubberband.
I put pink sponge curlers in her hair, but you could keep it straight, or even put it up in a pony. She does NOT like to sleep in the curler, so I just put them in when her hair is slightly damp. Keep them in for like 45 minutes (I put a blow dryer up to it & spray it just before I take them out) So now my pictures aren't showing, so just scroll back up to the top so you can see what it looks like in the end.
