Little Girl's Hairstyles -How to do a Inside Out Braid or Dutch Braid Video Tutorial

Alright ladies....this has to be my favorite video, not necessarily because of what I am trying to teach here, but because of my little gal, who is the star of the show. This was hairdo number #6 and video number #75 this particular day, (it's a big setup getting the stars ready for the videos, complete with bribery and art tools, so we try to maximize our time), and she was DONE, as you'll be able to tell by her parting comment. I just have to say that I enjoy doing my little gals' hair so much because this is when we chat and spend that necessary girly time together.

So don't be sad if you are expecting a fabulous teaching tool here, rather enjoy it for what it is....a moment to chuckle and appreciate these sweet little people. They are precious blessings and I'm so incredibly grateful for mine! Have a super day and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Little Girl's Hairstyles -Double Side Braid 7-10 Min

This is a great school do, since it's fast! Just a slight variation on the regular old side braid.

Gave her a side part, and dampened the hair.

I braided the smaller side into one braid.

I divided the larger side into two sections and clipped off the top section.

I braided the lower section, starting my braid up high in the section, by pulling the hair up when I began.

Start of lower braid.

Next I braided top section.

I clipped in a flower on the top braid. This adorable flower is from and B&B's Buttons and Bows. I love these colors. Go check out their flowers on their cute beanies!

I then round brushed the back of her hair and let it hang down.

And front view again.

Little Girl's Hairstyles -The Criss Cross with Braid Handles 20-30 Min

This one was a doozy! BUT I had fun, and that's the point right? After I do something elaborate like this, I feel the urge to go out SOMEWHERE and just show off my little girl, which for us, usually means something exciting like a trip to Walmart. My husband and I thought this one was funny though because the braids on the end of her ponys look like handles....not something to point out to other siblings if you do this 'do on one of your gals!

I started off with WET hair, and parted off the bottom third and pinned up the rest.

I divided the bottom into 4 ponys.

And braided the ponys down as far as I could. The criss-crossing does require a lengthy braid, so if your gal's hair isn't that long, you could skip the crossing and pull them straight up into the ponys.

Next, I zig zag parted the top and back sections of her hair. You could just part it down the middle, or at least just do an angle part up top. After I finished I think I should have parted it straight down the middle in the back. UP TO YOU!

I clipped off one section, and combed the other side up, ready for a pony.

Then I grabbed two braids, choosing alternating braids like so.

Do the same on the other side, weaving your braids. I actually weaved the braids like this before I secured them in the first ponytail, so they wouldn't loosen them after I had them in the elastic.

Prepping next ponytail.

Hopefully you can see how I weaved them here.

Secured in ponytails.

Next I began braiding pony down about halfway, then secured with elastic.

Next I split the remaining hair into two sections, and did two separate braids.

I left long ends on her ponys, to make it look like three separate sections.

These cutie pie bows are from Angela's Accessories. I really love the matching bows, since I do so many hairstyles with two ponys/buns/braids. These were perfect and go with so many different things!
