Side Braid to Ponytail
*Hairstyle submitted by Laurie
This is Little Londynn. Londynn is going through a braid phase right now so her mom has to come up with all sorts of variations. Here is one in particular.
Section the front part of the hair from the part to the opposite side of the part.
Braid the hair back to where your ponytail will be. Secure with an elastic.
Comb hair smooth to the ponytail and pull the braid to the ponytail.
Secure with an elastic.
Place a bow or ribbon in the hair.
Thanks for your daughters picture Laurie! We miss her!

Oscar-esque Bun
Pull the hair into a low ponytail at the nape of the neck.
Curl the hair in the ponytail.
Divide the ponytail in half.
Take one half and loosely twist it up above the ponytail and secure it with a bobby pin.
Do the same on the other side.
Piece out the ends and spray.

Channeling Our Inner Shirley
In my world, ringlets are synonomous with Shirley Temple or Nellie Oleson. Since Nellie doesn't evoke warm fuzzies, we are channeling Shirley today.
This past week both of my girls have wanted ringlets. When I do ringlets I still use my trusty flat-iron (love that thing). Instead of pulling it through fast like it says to in the demo, I run the hair through slow and make sure I keep the hair wrapped around the flat iron.
Spunky designed this hair do. I had to do the top part FOUR times to get it to her specifications.

Twist Tutorial
Part out a vertical chunk from the part to the ear.
Divide your section in half. Take a second to look at Lana's mommy's hands. She has the most beautiful hands. Don't you agree?
You always bring up hair from the bottom. Never the top. This is where the smooth, damp hair is necessary. It makes it easier to section. Thank goodness for spell check. I can never spell necessary. Twisting the new formed section, you repeat with the original top half.
See Hilary's gorgeous hands, you can see how she is holding the hair. In this style you are constantly turning your hands
Keep going.
Till you get to the end. Twist down a bit so that you don't lose the twist you just made when you secure their hair.
Take a rubber band and secure the end. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, you are just going to take this part out. If your child is older and has the patience, you can have them just hold the twist. That is what I make my Princess do, but she has almost four years on these young pups.
The hard part is over. Usually her hair is pulled all the way through in a ponytail, but it's her birthday and Hilary is feeling adventerous (hey, we are stay-at-home-moms, most days this is as big as we get in the creativity department) and she decided to pull the ponytail only half through.
