Cinderella Hair 1

I did this hairstyle last summer when the movie Cinderealla was really popular. Better late than never.  They are still cute,  and easy.  So here we go.
Begin by parting her hair naturally and brushing and spraying the front with water.
French braid high very close to the part.


Take it all the way past the ear about three inches and then finish with a standard braid. 
You want it to end on the back of her head.
Remember that this hair do is supposed to look natural,  a little messy like she did it herself.


French braid the other side starting high as well, kind of even with the other braid. 


Keep it high.

Let the braid be on the loose side. 

When you are done they lay in the back of her head.










The second version is french braided  to just barely past the ear.  Then do the standard braid.
 The braid lays right behind her ear.
 Do the other side
Pull the braids to make them as full as you like. Start pulling at the bottom.

 Then the braids show from the front.

Dutch Braid to Low Bun By Amber

 

 
This hairstyle starts out like you are doing  a partial french braid only backwards . Also we are leaving some of the hair down on the sides.

You pull up the front section of hair.  Using a comb to start helps you have a guide.

 Divide it into three sections.
 Instead of braiding right over the middle, you go right under the middle.
 Then left  under the middle and continue on pulling the sections under instead of over.
 You add hair as you braid from each side back and forth.  Remember to leave hair partly down on the sides.
 

 On this particular hair style, you eyeball the parts on the sides.

 Do your best trying to follow the parts as you add hair.


 Continue until about 1 1/2 to 2 inches above the nape with hair hanging down underneath.
 Finish the braid off  and add an elastic.
  Pull the pieces out to make it look fuller.
  
 


  Roll the braid up underneath itself and pin in place.
 
 Take the rest of the hair and do a standard braid loosely.

 Add an elastic. 
 Pull the pieces out to make it look fuller than it is.  Start at the bottom so that you can adjust the elastic.
 Wrap it around the bun.
 Attach with a bobby pin underneath.
 Continue to add more bobby pins as needed.
 Pin tightly underneath.
 If you want it to sit high, pull it up and re-secure until it sits how you want.
