Poof Braid to Bun

This style is fun easy and perfect for Gymnastics

I started by pulling up her bangs in the front and making a poof.

Then I took a small straight section of hair along the poof line and make a simple braid.

Then all the hair got pulled into a low ponytail.

Now make a bun with the hair in the ponytail.  

Toddler Sides Up

I have not done too many toddler styles lately because well let me just be honest my toddler has a mind of her own and hates getting her hair done.  I used to think that kids with a sensitive head was because the parents never did their hair. Wow was I wrong, my toddler has such a sensitive head that it hurts just to pull her sides up.  With that said I did manage to get pictures of this fun simple style.

First I took a small amount of the front of her hair and pulled it to the side and secured it with an elastic.

Then I pulled both the sides back into a single ponytail securing it with an elastic. 

A short explanation on the hair accessory.  In our schools the new fad for girls is to take embroidery floss and mixing 2 colors together, and putting it together on a bobbie pin.  I will post a link to instructions on how to make your own hair accessories.

If this fad hasn't hit your daughters school then you can be the first. 

Toddler Braids and Ribbons

First start by pulling a small piece of hair across the front of her head and secure it on the side with an elastic. 

Then make a 2nd part and french braid this hair.  Pulling the first ponytail into the braid then secure with an elastic. 

Make a parallel 2nd french braid secure it with an elastic.

Take a piece of ribbon and start at the top weaving it in and out of the braid crossing the ribbon in the center of the 2 braids.

I wrapped the ends of the ribbon around both ponytails and tied the ribbon in a bow.

2 Braids into Ponytail

This is a fun way to add a little more to your ponytail.

First start by making a square part on the top of her head.  Make a french braid along the back of the square. *shown below* 

Then make a french braid along the front hair line parallel to the first braid. 

Put all the hair except the front braid into a ponytail secure with an elastic.  Then wrap the front braid around the ponytail.  Secure that with bobbie pins or a clear elastic. 

Below is the top view. 

Below is the side view. 

Sides Up into Outie Braid

On this style you are going to make an outie braid rather than a flat braid. 

I wanted the braid to pop out. 

In order to get an out braid rather than a flat braid you cross the hair under instead of over.

I started the braid on her left side and braided her bangs back and continued to frenchbraid until all her sides were pulled into the braid.  Finish braiding the hair to the ends.

The right side is much easier I only frenchbraided it for about 3 crossovers then continue the braid all the way to meet the other braid.  Secure in the middle of her head with an elastic.

Poof Triangle

 This is a very simple but turned out really cute.

Make a far lateral part.  Along the part make 3 small ponytails, as shown below.

 The next row you are going to make 2 small ponytails taking 1/2 of the 2nd ponytail and splitting one to each of the 2 ponytails.  Shown below

 Pull the 2nd row ponytails and pull them to a point.  Shown below.  (I also use a small square of hair to keep the ponytails in place)



Simple Braid Headband

This is really simple fun and cute.

All you do it make a normal part in her hair we use a side lateral part.

Then take a small section of hair at the back of the lateral part and braid it to the ends.

Take another small amount of hair across the part and braid it to the ends.

Combine both braids underneath all of her hair and secure with an elastic. 

The only thing to remember is make sure the hair on the sides is smooth under the braid on both sides. 



Rolls to Side Bun

This is a fun and easy style that takes about 5 minutes. 

Start with 1 simple roll across the top front of her head.

Make a 2nd roll parallel to the first roll secure both with an elastic

Pull all the remaining hair into a low side ponytail.

From the ponytail make a messy bun.  I always use bobbie pins to control how I want the bun to look.

My daughter requested a flower to add as an accessory.

Biggest Loser Hair

One of the personal trainers on the Biggest Loser had her hair done like this a couple of weeks ago.

I made a diagonal part  then make a poof that is angled onto the left side.

Pull all the remaining hair except a small strip as shown below into a ponytail.

Take that small piece of hair and pull it up and around the ponytail.  I secured this hair with a clear elastic

I finished the ponytail off by putting ringlets in the ends.

Scrunched Braid

My daughter gets so many compliments on this simple style. 

You make a simple braid we did this to hold her bangs back out of her face.

Once the braid is in place hold on the center strand and pull the remaining hair up towards her head.

Then secure with an elastic.

Toddler Roll Headband

This is one of the fast and easy hairstyles.  Take her hair from one ear we started on the right side and rolled across the top of her head and secured the end with an elastic.

Then I made ringlets with the flat iron and added a flower for accessories.
