The Ultimate Ponytail :0)

 I like this cause it is simple and way better then just a plain ponytail.
 Start by separating the hair across the top, from ear to ear.
 Now make a nice, neat ponytail.
 Now take the left side of the hair from the top and cross it over to the right of the ponytail.
 Do the same with the left.
 Cross it over underneath the pony.
 And back over and secure with a clear elastic.
 Let it slide down just a bit and then make a single knot.
 Go Under again and back over and knot again.
 Do this all the way down and secure with an elastic.
 It should look about like this. Now you can add flowers, decorative bobby pins or whatever you like
:0)
I didn't get a picture of the completely finished style because we do our styles the night before and I don't add all the goodies till morning and it happened to be a crazy morning (more then usual at least) and I didn't have time for a pic. This is why we do our styles the night before instead of in the morning before school. It just doesn't work with an ADHD kid lol.  Let us if you like this one, your feedback is important :0) !

♥ Heart Headband for Valentine's Day♥

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

This just kinda popped into my head the other day and I tried it out, it's a good thing I took pics lol. I didn't use gel cause we were doing something that day and if it didn't turn out right I would have to take it down and it's easier with out the gel. This means there were some fuzzies lol. So I suggest you either use gel or pomade for this.
First I parted her bangs out, if your daughter doesn't have bangs you can skip this step

Then I parted the hair straight down the back.


Then I separated a band on each side.


Now make a small pony and do a pull through (you will be making 3 ponies on each side).


It will look like this.

 Now split the pulled through pony into two sections and twist them outward.
 Shape into a heart.
 Secure with an elastic and put to the side.
 Make the second pony and do the same thing except now you want to pull the end from the first heart in through the second heart.

 Attach the bottom of the second heart to the hair you pulled through from the first. It will look like this.
 Here is a closer pic doing this with the third heart.
 Now the left side is done.
 Just do the exact same thing on the right.
 Take the ends from the hearts and pull smoothly back.
 Attach an elastic.
 Top view.
 You can do a ribbon like this and attach it to the elastic you used or you could use a plastic craft needle and thread it through the pull trough's.


 I poofed it up a little and curled the ends just a bit.

We may have one more style before Valentine's so check back.
Have a Valentine's Day full of love!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥


It will look like this.

~♥~5 Heart Valentine's Day Hair Style~♥~

~♥~5 Heart Valentine's Day Hair Style~♥~

 First, apply gel to wet hair and part the hair down the middle, then separate a section of hair that is just behind the ear on each side and make a ponytail. Use either a piece of string, a topsy tail, or a rat tail comb, and pull the hair through the back and into the front.  
 Split that ponytail in half and braid each side like this.
 Make a third section of hair and secure with an elastic and then secure the braids with it like this or do like I ended up doing and just pull the braided pieces through going back where you do the next pull through. Hope this makes sense look at the picture after this one below. You can do it either way though.

 I ended up changing it and pulled the braids through like this.

 Now braid the second section like you did the first.
 Now just do the same with the other side.


 At this point it should look something like this.
 Now with the bottom half of the hair, make a ponytail adding the extra hair from the braids from the first heart (I didn't smooth it down so you can see it) Do a pull through going from the bottom, up. Then connect the left braid and right braid from the sides and pull through going from top to bottom so it comes out the bottom.
 Now with the hair you pulled through the top, split it in half and braid to make the heart.
 Connect it to the hair coming through the bottom and then just go through and place bobby pins where needed to support the hearts



Hope you like this style and we will be adding another soon. Thank you for reading :) !!!
