Little Girl's Hairstyles: Off centered braid and twist hairstyle 15-20 min

Happy April! This is my favorite time of year! All my bulbs are coming up (along with the weeds), but I just love watching everything start to blossom and turn green again, rather than the drab brown patches I've been looking at all winter! So in preparation for the Easter holiday, here's a little 'series' I'll be sharing in the next few posts:


This is a 'progressive' hairstyle, I like to call it, because I use the first part of this hairstyle, with the off-centered french braid and twist in a few different hairstyles--which I build on, to give you more ideas and variety.  This hairstyle has a french braid, a twist, a twist braid, a stacked pony, and a regular braided ponytail-but it's still easy and basic! Like most of my 'basic' components, I have videos on how to do them. Feel free to check those out for the french braid and the twist braid if needs be in the Video Tutorial section.



 To begin, I started with, of course!, DAMP hair. This is pretty much the case with about 99% of my hairdos. I give her a center part, back to the ear line.


 I then part down to her ear on the larger side. This is where I will be doing the french braid.


 I french braid back to the part, and then continue with a regular braid, just far enough to reach a little past the center of her head in the back.





 Then on to the smaller parted section.


 Comb neatly and begin twisting towards the center of her head.


 Join them off-centered like so, with an elastic.This is my stopping point for the other hairstyles I'll be showing you soon.


 From this point, I do a twist braid down to the ends of her hair


 And then secure the rest of the hair into a low ponytail.


 I pull the ponytail over the top of the joined braid and twist,


 and make a stacked pony and wrap the twist braid around base of the ponytail. I use a clear elastic to secure the twist braid in place. I then braid the ponytail down to the ends. If your daughter's hair isn't long enough to do the twist braid, just wrap it around the ponytail base.








 You'll need to plan a few extra minutes if you want to do all the twists and braids, but it's a fun one to do! I really like the off-centered look of the ponytail when she's all done.
