One-Sided French Braid

This is just like any french braid but you take from only one side (in this case the right only). Part each section that you're bringing up all the way across then bring it into the braid. When it's the left side's turn just keep braiding normal. (Sorry I don't explain well!) Finish it how you like, I usually loop her's 'cause her hair is so long, then curl the back :) I like that it gives a little different look and the braid is set back a bit.

Backward Topsy...

Part Your hair into two Piggy tails.

Next, using a comb make a hole and pull the hair through the

bottom and up, only half way. (backward Topsy Tail)

Tie it off with your ribbon of choice to hold in place.

Repeat on the other side, curl the bottom, and there you have it.

Homemade Headband...

Start by parting the front of your hair line from ear to ear. Part in half and separate into squares.

Pull up and and under,( mini Topsy tails) and add into the next square.


Continue on the other side,

and there is your homemade headband.

If you can't tell, she hated this hair do and wanted piggy tails! Personally, I loved it!

The crimp look was from the braids the previous day, but I curled the ends.

More Braids.....

Sorry, I didn't realize how blurry this first picture was.

Start off by parting the top section into two separate ponies and pull through

to make a Topsy tail.

Keep braiding down to the second section of hair, and pull into a low pony.

Separate into three sections to braid, and braid the middle piece all the way down.

Braid, and continue on the other side.

Don't forget to add cute bows!

Meet in the middle..French Braids

Start off with your part of choice. (I like the zig zag part.)

Next, divide top parts and french braid half way down.

Then part the bottom section, and French braid Upward to meet the top sections.

(tip: I had my daughter flip her head upside down for this.)

Next use this braid technique that you learned about here, braid and hook

each end into the other.

Make messy buns.....

and of coarse add adorable hair bows!

I got a compliment from a complete stranger in town today which made me excited. It really looks harder than it is. As long as your daughter is patient it's a breeze!

Small Triangle French Braid

This start out with a triangle up front and pull the rest back. French braid at an angel and keep braiding to the end. At this point you could leave like this or loop the braid back up and curl the ends. Today was a windy day so I pulled the braid back into a half ponytail, then took out the elastic holding the end of the braid. :)
