Little Girl's Hairstyles - How to do a Side Twist Video Tutorial

This is a hairstyle that I do frequently on my gals. It's fast, and usually cooperates with me. It's also one that seems to draw a lot of comments when we are out and about.....so hopefully this video will be of some value to you! Also, I really and truly promise I do NOT give my children lollipops ALL the time. In fact I usually confiscate them when they bring them home from wherever. Because I have to have them. For later. When we do videos. :)

Little Girl's Hairstyles - Ponytails with twist braid 5-7 min

When I ask my little gal here what hairstyle she wants in the morning, she almost always says, "Just a ponytail.......puh-leeze??" And believe it or not......I don't always want to do fancy schmancy hair. SO, here's a little girl's hairstyle that's cute, easy, FAST, and it pleases my little sweetie.

For this one I did an angle part in the front, and then zig zagged it in the back. When I part off for ponytails like this, where all the hair will be involved, I always spray the parts with water, and comb the hair away from the part. This helps me from combing the hair into the wrong side.       

After putting her hair in ponytails, I took about a third of her ponytail, from the front of the pony, and put it in a twist braid. If your daughter's hair isn't naturally straight, you can straighten it or roundbrush it, if you prefer (or just leave it wavy!) The point with this hairstyle is to minimize time! When you are done, send those beauties off with a pat and say "Go forth and play!" :)

Little Girl's Hairstyles - Wrap Around the head French Braid 7-10 min

Here's an oldie! I remember seeing 'versions' of this french braid from years ago, but it usually was started at the base of the neck and headed straight up from there. This one involved having my gal laying on her tummy off our big ottoman too, but I wrapped it around instead of having the braid end up top and hang in her face.

I also don't have pics of her hanging over the ottoman, but you can see where I started the braid, behind her ear. Comb all the hair in the direction you want the braid to go first, and start your french braid ( I did an inside out braid here). You also want to bring hair up from the neck up, gathering all the hair into the braid in just the top section of her braid, or the section that goes over her crown. Once you get to her ear on the other side, have her sit up! :)

In the above picture: After I'd braided across the top crown section of her hair, ending above her other ear, and after I had gathered all the hair in, I finished by doing a regular braid until the end of the hair.

Wrap the braid around the bottom of her head, and if the hair is long enough, you can try to tuck them into the beginning of the braid. I secured it with a large bobby pin.

This is where a large flower comes in handy. Place it between the elastic and next to the bobby pin to hide the ends. I didn't have one handy here, but you can clearly see what needs to be covered.

Sorry I didn't have the other pictures! Sometimes I try stuff and don't think I'll get it, but this one I did......but didn't have the pics to back it up! :) Let me know if anything is not clear, and I'll try to amend my mistakes!

Little Girl's Hairstyles - Valentine's Day Dos! 10-15 min

Valentine's Day Hairstyles!!

I had a most lovely email from a reader who sent me her cute Valentine's hairstyle! Look at this:

Here's what Jo said: i love your site ! here's one u can try & have been doing this to my girl for about 10 years... this pic is the next door neighbor's lil girl i just did b4 school today (v-day party today at school) did my girl too but her pic wasn't as clear & her hair is longer wanted to show it works on shorter hair too... thanks for all the ideas & hope u enjoy this one... the part is the key btw... & i only pull from the top so the braid floats a lil... peace

Thanks a million Jo!! She did such a great job on this hairstyle!!

Here's my submission to the land of hearts and cupids! Start off with a small zig zag part to the crown, and make two hig ponys.

Put in two twist braids on each side.

Join the two twist braids closest to the center in the middle of her head.

Next, join the two outside twist braids down low on her head, forming your heart. You can do this with regular braids, fish tail braids, whatever you want to do.

I used my wave iron on the rest of her head, and stuck in this gorgeous bow from Flowerz In Her Hair.

Happy Valentine's Day!!
