Little Girl's Hairstyles - How to do a zig zag puffy braid ponytail 7-10 min

This hairstyle would be cute with pull-thru ponys as well. I tend to stay away from them the thicker my girl's hair gets, or if there's a large amount of hair to be pulled through. It makes for unhappy girls at night.

This hairdo is pretty straightforward, and works great for either long or short hair. I parted off 3 sections in her hair,doing only one at a time. The first section was from ear to ear, and I put in the elastic far to one side. The next section I tried doing across the back center of her head, and positioned the elastic on the opposite side as the first one. For the final section, I included the rest of the hair, and again, put the elastic on the opposite side, or same side as the first. You can do as many sections as necessary. Shorter hair would work better with smaller sections, as the ponytails wouldn't reach as far. You could also split the hair down the middle, and do two puffy braids.
We continued the elastics down her ponytail to keep the look uniform. Wet hair works best for this hairstyle, especially for the ponytail. Working some gel into her hair would also help keep the flyaways to a minimum.
Happy Hair!
