Crossed-Over Piggies

Part the hair down the middle. Then you are going to do half up piggies so part where you would pull the hair up. Now, part that in half & grab opposite ends together. So the back left & front right.
Bring those 2 together to make one piggie.
Do the same to the opposite side to make it cross over the first piggie.
Do your messy buns on the top to finish it off. Add your cute bows & you're done. (& I have to give credit to hair4myprincess - I was able to figure out how to do the links...thanks for your help:)

hair veil

It doesn't get easier than this:
Start with your 3 sections in the front
Split the middle in half & combine with each of the 2 sides. DON'T add any other hair, you only want the ponies.
Bring them together in the middle . & that's it!!!
Just showing you don't add hair except the ponies. It tends to be a little loose & wants to lift off the head a little.
So I added a bow that has the alligator clip to hold it down. I included some of the hair that was down so it would stay down better. Then I curled just the top layer of hair.
Simple, right? Here's the front

worm twists

Part the hair in half. Add your elastic at the bottom & then add the next section.
Then grab the bottom piece & twist it & keep twisting until it starts to twist on it's own & add it to the top by just adding an elastic on the second pony.
Do the same thing all the way up. I did 3 elastics BEFORE I criss crossed them to make the piggies.
With the piggy tail - do the same twist all the way until it twists into a ball.
Add an elastic to hold it in place. Spray to hold.

zig-zag braids

This might look a lot more complicating than what it really is. It's actually quite easy. All you have to be able to do is know how to do a regular braid.
First, make 3 piggies on each side.
I started with the top right & braided it.
Take it across, over to the top left. Add your elastic.
Braid the top left & cross it down to the middle right, add your elastic. Then braid that & cross it over to the middle left. See the pattern - you are making a zig-zag pattern. But stop there.
Now, go to your bottom left & braid that.
Cross it over to the bottom right & add your elastic.
Braid that & add it to the middle left so that the zig - zags meet in the middle to make a side pony tail.
Curl the pony & add your cute bow. That's it. Not too complicating, right?
side view: (& the bow is from Oh So Girly...isn't it oh so cute!)

Does the bow look TOO big? Maybe - but it's too cute not to wear.
First, I divided the hair in half & put elastics only in one half. Then bring it all into a pony, only the ponies from that half. With the other half, I brought up all the hair in that section.
Make your bun (sorry kinda blurry)
Blow dry the hair straight & add your big bow!! That's it!! It was really fast today.

french braid tutorial...finally!!

Hooray!! It finally worked. I tried showing this the best I could, but it would have taken forever if I went all the way down. Let me know if you need a better explanation - I'm just excited this finally posted:) I forgot to show this: usually when I'm done with the braid, I smooth the hair with the comb to smooth out all the bumps, then spray it with hairspray.
