Little Girl's Hairstyles: Easy Twist Around Braided Ponytail 10-15 min

Well, here's a funny thing: I could have sworn I'd already posted this hairdo! Am I crazy? Does this look familiar to any of you? I searched and searched, and could not find it anywhere! If anyone of you find it elsewhere, please let me know! If not, then here's a new one for you! I was going to use this as one of my 'Blast from the Past' hairdos, since I happened upon the pictures and was reminded of how much I liked this hairstyle, but ........a new hairstyle is great too!

Twist Around Braided Ponytail

 This side view shows off the back ponytail nicely. I started this cute little hairdo with a french braid in front, drawing in hair, just to the ears. I then finished the braid all the way down to the ends.  I then gathered the rest of the hair (nice and damp of course) up to where I finished the actual french braid, and put it, along with the braid, into a high ponytail.

 I then just twisted the remainder of her loose hair and wrapped it around the braid, and secured the ends with an elastic. Keeping the hair damp, especially in the twist, will help keep the hairdo in longer and looking more finished. Spray both sides of the finished braid well with hairspray, and she's done!
 Those cute bows and smiles finish it off nicely!
