I know, I know.... another Fourth of July hairstyle. Are you getting sick of it yet? Don't worry the fourth is almost here and then
I promise I'll move on to other things. For some reason It's so much fun coming up with hair-dos for holidays. If you didn't get to see the first ones see
HERE and
HERE.
For this hair-do you will need some red, white, and blue beads. Four pieces of pipe cleaner (we used red), and pipe cleaner is super cheap. Last but not least bows, or some Holiday flavored ribbon.
Start with a small section of hair in the front/middle of her head.
Do a pull-through knot.
Make 2 more small ponytails on each side of the first. Do a pull through in each of these as well.
Hopefully everyone knows what a pull through knot is. If not I am going to try and post some Hair basics in Video form, I just have to learn how first:)
Pull the hair from the 3 ponytails out of the way and then do some regular ol' piggy tails.
I took 2 pieces of pipe cleaner and pushed them through the underneath side of the pull through knot. Next I twisted about a 1/2 an inch of the pipe cleaner around itself (see picture above). Split the middle section into 2 pieces.
Make a braid using the pipe cleaner as 1 of the strands.
Each time before I braided the pipe cleaner into the hair I strung on 1 bead alternating the colors.
Secure the left section of the middle piece to the left piggy tail. Do the same thing on the right.
Now move to the outer sections of hair. Braid them using the same technique. Secure the bottom of the outer pieces with an elastic.
Next I took the outer braids and crossed them over to the opposite side piggy tail. Notice I weaved them
under the already secured braids. Secure and add your bow or ribbon. I curled her piggy tails under and sprayed with hairspray.

Isn't being first fun? Came over from SITS and decided I'm jealous. Jealous that you have so much lovely hair to play with! I have three boys and I'd like to think if I had a daughter I'd do her hair in pretty little styles every single day, even though I only do mine at all like once a week:)!

Do you think it would work on short hair too? I might just have to give it a try if my 3yo will sit still long enough.

UMMM....good you be any more freakin talented! HOLY COW this is art! Im inpressed!
Coming by from SITS with a big HELLO & Welcome!
It would be so great to hear the dialogue going on in your daughter's head through all this. Does she get paid for this venture?LOL Remembe, I have boys. Just running a comb through their hair creates the potential for a world war.
I sooo love your hairstyles. You've got some great talent there:)
You outdid yourself this time!! That girl needs to be in a parade. Her smile and her hairstyle are need to go national!!
So pretty! Your daughter must be so patient...I do good to get the tangles out on my girl :)
LOVE this one, too!! You have talent! :-)
My 2 year old doesn't have enough hair to do much of anything yet...but she will soon enough! ;-)
