Little Girl's Hairstyles--How to do a Triple French Braid- 10-15 min

Hi ladies! Is anyone else feeling overwhelmed by school starting up again so soon!? We only have a week left, and I'm fully in denial! But the good thing about school starting is that means I'll be back on a schedule, and that means I'm going to be blogging more consistently! I've really been a slacker this summer, but hey, what is summertime for if not to break away from the mad routines of life, right!? I hope you all have been having lots of fun with your kids--school age or not.

So here' s something we tried out. This was a tester hairdo, to see how it would look (as so many of them are!). My vote is:
1: This would look BETTER on shorter hair, allowing the braids to show more.
2: Next time I'll loop up the braids, attaching it back to the point where the braid is loose from the head.
I first parted off (wet hair) the first of three sections from ear to ear.
I did an inside out braid, and braided down to the ends of her hair.
I continued down her head, parting off the second section making it even in size. I then did two more braids in the next two sections, braiding the hair down to the ends.
This is how I think this style would look SO cute on shorter hair, since the braids wouldn't as long. If your daughter's hair is long like hers, then you can try the looping up. I gathered the three braids together at her neck and tied it with a ribbon, BUT we both decided we didn't love that either. So we decided to just let them hang, which was my munchkin's first choice.  
And happy here we are!
