Easter Updo (French Twist)

This is a true french twist- honestly this hairstyle is a bit mature for my 3 year old, but would be very cute on a tween or even a mommy!
 Comb the wet hair straight back and hold as if you are going to do a low ponytail...then begin to twist it around and start twisting it upward. 
I had a little trouble getting a clear picture, but if you just play with your dd's hair- you'll figure it out most likely.  Once you have it twisted tightly as seen below- start at the bottom and begin to secure well with bobby pins.  (I found small ones in a travel tin at Sallys- they are perfect for Savannah's hair!)

Once you reach the top, you have the option of tucking the remaining hair into the twist...I've done this on Wed. nights when I'm in a rush for church & have dirty hair- it's a great quickie do once you master it.

We had started with pomeade and curl sculpting gel..then we curled, fluffed, and sprayed.


You may notice I had to redo her twist and make it a lot higher since Savannah's hair is shorter.  This way we had something to curl!

Isn't she gorgeous??? Enjoy- I hope this is helpful!

Puff Braid Piggies

Okay, here we go...take one small section from the part down to the hairline. Rubberband that ponytail.
Then split that ponytail into two sections...combine the top section with the upper half of the next section.  Then add the bottom section to the lower half of the next section- like so....
Then we braid those sections...

Next pull the two braids on the left and combine them with the hair hanging down on the right side of the part--see?

here you could do a pull thru into a messy bun- but we decided instead that today we would pull those pigtails all the way through and curl them...(here's how it looked with messy buns)

But we added some rollers to those pigtails.  Since we live in Las Vegas and due to the dry heat- these curlers can be a great solution.

Here's the finished product- sorry the pictures are bad- the day kind of got away from me.  And you'll notice that I had to take the curlers out a little early so the piggies are not as curled as usual.
Tadahhhhh....

Braids crossed into Pigtails

This one is too easy-- you part the hair in the middle and then braid those two sections and secure with rubber bands.  Then finish the part and gather the rest of the hair into the two pigtails.  Curl and add ribbons, flowers, or bows.
