1,2,3,4,5 Fast and Easy Hairdos for School

Over the years I have really learned a lot from my neighbor Amberly.  Her kids always look darling and their hair looks superb.  Needless to say, I really needed her expertise for this next part.

The materials that Amberly uses are the spray bottle, rat-tail comb, hair bands, which she calls ponies and the ouchless elastics.  She prefers "Goody" brand.  These hairdos are fast and easy.  This first one is probably her go-to when she is in the biggest hurry.  She has another super fast one that I will show later.

1.  ACCENT BRAID

Begin by spraying it down pretty good.  Amberly sprays down with almost every hairdo.  

Do an off set part.  This offset part is from the right side back slighly at a diagonal.

Next she parts right above the ear at a diagonal going up.

Smooth it back and begin the braid pulling away from the face.

Braid it to the end and use the ouchless elastic.

Flip the braid forward while you comb and smooth the rest of the hair into a pony tail.

Add the accent braid.

Put hair band in and either leave the braid in or take the braid out for a more finished look.

2. DOUBLE ACCENT BRAID

Start with spraying and the offset part.  The offset part is really key to this looking right. 

Then hold your comb in the middle of her head and make a straight part behind the offset part.

Make a part from the middle part on top of her head to her ear. 

Smooth and braid like before with an ouchless elastic at the end.

Repeat on the other side.

Part from the middle of her head to her ear.

Smooth and braid.  Add small ouchless elastic to the end.

Flip both braids forward.

Smooth into a high or low. 

Add each braid one at a time while holding the pony tail with your hand.

Add the hair band.

Leave braids in or take them out for the finish. 

Kenra is Amberly's preferred  hair spray.

3. DOUBLE ACCENT BRAID WITH PIG TAILS

This hairdo uses medium sized ouchless elastics.

Go back to when the braid were flipped forward.

Make a part following the one on top but all the way down to the neck.

Take one side and hold it in a low ponytail while you smooth.

Add the accent braid.

Put on the ouchless elastic.

Repeat on the other side.

4. DOUBLE BRAID ACCENT PIGTAIL TWIST

Take one pigtail and separate it in two. 

Twist both pieces to the right tightly while pulling the right side over the left

Keep twisting both pieces right while moving the right piece over the left. 

You do have to switch and grab.

Keep twisting right  and then right piece over left until

Add small ouchless elastics to the end.

5.  DOUBLE ACCENT BRAID PIGTAIL BUNS

Wrap the twist around the pigtail and add ouchless elastic.    Use one or more elastics to secure the bun.  Wrapping it to the left usually works the best.
