Little Girl's Hairstyles -Cute Puffy Braids 7-10 min

My cute little neighbor came over to play, and her hair was so cute, I had to take a picture of it.
I love how this shows this style can be done on short hair and long hair.
I loved it so much, I did it on my girl the next day. She did her own makeup. If you need a good distraction for your girl while doing her hair, just hand her some lipstick and eyeliner.
We both did angle parts on top, with wet hair. Continue parting off in sections, however big, and pull the previous pony into the next, continuing down each side.
I love continuing the ponys all the way down the hair. I slick them down with a bit of hair gel, and they stay in pretty darn well.

Little Girl's Hairstyles -Quick back twist 1-3 min


This one was born from my usual trying to get out the door routine: I realize that we have to leave in 5 minutes, and I haven't done no. 2's hair yet. Awesome.
Her ends are covering the cute twist braid, but you'll see it more as we go along.
Start with wet hair, and I chose to do an angle part.
Comb it down into a low pony. This would also work well with a higher pony.
Split the pony into two sections. Start twisting two sections in same direction, doing a twist braid.
Wrap two sections around each other in opposite direction, down to ends.
Holding the end tightly, bring the twist braid up on one side, trying to angle the ends behind the top of the braid (rather than making a loop). Twist the ends in the direction they are going, and it will pull it in tighter.
Secure tightly with an elastic close to the head.
After putting in elastic.
I pulled her ends out straight with my fingers and smoothed them down over the twisted bun. If the ends are too short, then you could spike them up. It just depends on where you want to put a bow, if at all.
I took a lot of pictures of the back to try to show you what the bun looked like best. Spray well with hairspray, and you are out the door!
