Trailing Puff Braids Into Ponies

FIRST off, you'll notice...her hair bows DO NOT match her shirt! This would be because she is 5 years old and of course 5 year olds are always spilling right? She spilled her hot cocoa on her shirt and changed...This hairdo had lasted all day long already and we weren't going out in public so we didn't change the bows... 'nuff said...

Sorry, I'm not the best photographer. I am not a lover of the exaggerated part strait down the middle of the head. Therefore, I will usually do a small section up front before making the part. Like this

Join two sections at the back to make a pony tail or you could make a messy bun...
and repeat on the other side.
It was the end of the day so these ponies are not very tight, but you get the picture!

She was mad at me for some reason...which I can't even remember...that is the reason for the camera shy behavior! Silly girl!

All Tied Up

Part the hair down the middle.

Section off two small sections on both sides of the part and secure with an elastic.

Make two more sections behind that and secure into place. Take the long strands from the first section and tie them together as if you were tying a shoe and secure them to the second section (I removed the elastic and then added the tied sections to it. This will eliminate the gobby bulky look with your elastic bands).

Repeat one more time directly behind that.

Part the back section and pull into a ponytail or make a messy bun.


Repeat on the opposite side of the head, add your favorite bow and WA LAA!

Simple Cuteness!

Boy How Time Flys

I was going through our family pictures, and came across a bunch of "K" when she was a toddler. I couldn't help myself... I had to post them and share! Where does time go??? My baby is no longer a baby!

When she was a baby, she "always" had a bow or headband in her hair.

One day while at the day care, one of the little boys about 18 mo - 2 yrs grabbed her hair bow and pulled it off... It left a bald spot poor baby! I used elmers glue to attach the hair bows because I couldn't get karo or anything else to hold it in place. The glue is actually water soluble and the bows came right out when washing her hair.

She was blessed with lots of thick curly hair!

Simple side part with piggies, I liked useing colored elastics to match the outfit she was wearing... It seemed to add to the hair do!

Notice how in EVERY picture she has a "dirty" face? That's MY girl!

I realize this isn't exactly a "do" anyone would want to try to do and wear out in public, but I loved this pic so wanted to post it anyway! :)

This picture is actually just a bunch of mini cornrolls secured with mini clips

Zig Zag part with piggies...
Again the DIRTY face!

And last but not least 3 ponies to the side

These pictures make me long for the good old days.
Time just doesn't stand still for us does it?

Simple Quickie But Cutie

Criss Crossed Braids Into Low Ponies

Part hair from ear to ear then section off into 4 equal sections. Braid each section. Part hair in back and cross two braids to opposite side and secure into a low pony. Do the same on the other side with remaining hair! Finally add your finishing touch with ribbon or bows etc. These are actually buttons I bought at Walmart and strung an elastic through the button holes.
