Little Girl's Hairstyles -Christmas Puffy Braids 5-7 min

OK, there's really nothing Christmasy about these puffy braids. But Christmas is right around the corner, we had to do some hair, and I was lucky enough to get a whole slew of Christmas bows this year from some really talented bow makers. SO, to show them off properly, here's some puffy braids to go with one of them. This little cutie is from FlowerzInHerHair. Amy, the talented one, has a great variety of hair accessories, so go and check her out, and I'll be putting up some more of her darling stuff in the coming weeks. Now onto the hair!

For these ultra simple and pretty darn quick puffy braids, I parted off the hair up front into four sections, starting off from a middle part. I go about halfway to her ears on the first four, then the rest of the way to the ears with the 3 sections behind. So basically, you are making 4 sections in the front, and then dividing them into 3 sections behind.

You can continue this pattern farther down her head, making the three go into two sections, etc. I will be posting another puffy braid that goes farther down the head soon to give you an idea. This is a fast, before school hairdo, that you can finish off with a ponytail, like I did here. You can also split the back into two ponys and braid them, or do a stuffed bun. It's a great way to get the front hair back and out of the way, and works great on just about any length of hair, and works especially well if you are growing out bangs.

Have a most wonderful Christmas my friends! I am grateful to be able to share my fun hobby with all of you, and appreciate your comments and support. I hope we can all reach out to those around us and make them all feel the love of our Heavenly Father, for that is truly the reason we are here. If you have any special Christmas stories you'd like to share, I would be happy to post them on here.Scroll down and see the fun Santa activities, and have a wonderful week!

Little Girl's Hairstyles -Braiding Variety 10-15 min

We needed some variety in our braids today, so we tried a couple of different ones. I actually saw this idea on another fabulous hair blog......back in the day when I was avidly searching for new hairstyles to try out! I found this one on Girls Hairdos. In the meantime, please enjoy this one. We rather like it.

I parted her hair in the front on the side, and then down the middle in the back, like this. This helps keep the braids a little more even. Then I put her hair up in two high ponys. I did wet the ponys thoroughly and put a little Gen. Paul Mitchell gel in.

I split the hair into three even sections. I did a regular (backwards) braid on one section. Next I did a fish tail braid, stopping about a third of the way down, and put in an elastic (I was in a hurry!), and then put in another elastic another third of the way down, and finished fish tailing the last third of the braid.

For the last section, I did a twist braid. I have videos on how to do a twist braid and a fish tail braid, under my Video Tutorials.

I sprayed each braid topside and underside with hairspray, and stuck in some cute bows!!

Just a note: She got a lot of compliments this day when we were out and about!
