Double Dutch Braided Pony by Erin

To start this braid, you begin on the parted side and dutch braid down only grabbing hair from the front part of her head because you will be doing another braid on the same side.  The dutch braid is like a french braid only you pull the pieces under instead of over as you braid. 

 You continue this kind of eyeballing it as you go.


 Your last dutch braid is just over the ear, then you braid like normal except you continue to braid pulling pieces  over instead of under.
 Finish off with an elastic.
 Start the next braid at the part again and dutch braid all the way down.


 
  Finish off with an elastic.
 Next start to pull on the braid to loosen and pancake the braid to make it look fuller.


 Start on the second braid.



  When the are both as full as you like, take the first braid closest to the face and bring under the second braid and add to a low pony tail.


 Take the second braid and wrap it around the pony tail  two times.


  Pull the tail through wrapped hair like a knot on the bottom side.

 Remove the elastic.

 Pin into place using 2-3 pins.

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.
