So, if you come and hang out here looking at little girl's hairstyles, then we share something in common. We like cute hair on these little girls! Well, I love looking at other hair blogs and seeing their creative genius and admiring their handiwork. It's amazing what some of these gals can do! Right? Right. Well, like some of you too, I am a mom. A busy mom who has things to do, and most of the time it does not involve a lot of time to do fancy hair. Alas.....I share with you practical, cute, easy and fast hairstyles--most of the time. Right? Right.
Take example A below.
This is a real life, real time hairstyle that we favor quite often in my house. Ponytails are often requested, and since I cringe at doing JUST a ponytail, I have to dress it up a bit. So here's our dressed up ponytail:
Start with semi damp hair in front, parted off to the side of the face. A good rule of thumb for a side part is to start the part in line with the center of the eye, and pull back to the crown. I like to spray the parted hair with water and comb down both sides of part to keep it smooth.
Do a french braid on the larger side, angling it straight down to the ear, and continue the braid to the ends of the hair.
Comb the rest of the hair straight back into a ponytail, bringing in the french braid on the side. I spray all around the head where I'm combing in the hair, as the water will make it lay smooth and stay in longer.
To make the wrap around the ponytail, take a section of hair from underneath. I like to take a fairly thick piece of hair, to cover the elastic nicely.
Wrap the piece around the elastic and the french braid piece of hair until you come to the ends.
At this point, wrap the hair ends in, and grab your clear elastic.
Wrap your clear elastic around the ponytail, making sure to tuck in the ends of the wrapped section. When it's secured, take the elastic out of your french braid and smooth that section into the rest of the ponytail.
This hairstyle was featured in my Christmas hairbow section, showing off these cuties from Lil Cutie Hairbows.
With a little hip action as well.
If you are ambitious, and the ends of the ponytail need some help, curl it with your curling iron, or round brush it, or wet it down (if she has some natural curl) and wrap it around your finger and spray with hairspray. Or do what your conscience dictates (or if you are like me, what the clock dictates!).
