My Little one's hair: Pony tail twist

Hello all,

I've decided to start a blog about doing little girls hair since it is something that I love and something that I do EVERY morning.
To begin, let me tell you a little about my family!
My husband and I have two kids. A seven-year-old son and a five year old daughter.

I had been doing hair professionally for quite awhile. However, when we moved to a different state temporarily, I didn't want to get a new state license for just a short amount of time. I decided to take a break from professional hair while we were here. My daughter, though, is the age where her hair is just the right thickness and length to do all kinds of fun stuff, so I keep my skills in practice. I always get the famous question "How did you do that?" from a lot of people, so I thought I'd share.

I started this blog to help those moms who have a hard time doing their little girls hair and need some easy tips and ideas to make their daughters look done up for school or church. I probably won't have many fancy things here, like some other great blogs out there have; this will show the more simple and easy ways that I find to get hair done. I will also have some hair tips every once in awhile that I personally use. If any of you have any tips or different ways that you do things, please comment; it REALLY helps!

Pony tail twist

This hair-do looks kind of tricky but is actually pretty easy.

All I did was part off a whole section from the top ear to ear, then break it off into 5 sections.

Then, do the flip over in the five sections (I like to do the flips more in the back side of the section, I think it looks better from the front that way).

Then, you have 5 flips.
Next, put the rest of the hair in a ponytail EXCEPT for the little ponytails from the flips.

Now with the ponytail flips divide them in half and twist the two half's together to make 4 twists, (the flip ponytail by the ears don't get split in half but the other 3 do) like this:

You'll end up with 4 twists. Then twist them all together and add them to the big ponytail.

Add a cute flower or bow and curl the end of the ponytail, then your done!

When I do Little one's hair, sometimes it still looks ok the next morning it just needs a little touch up (and I like it to look different everyday because I'm weird like that), so here is the 2nd day version.

I took out the twist's and just split the middle flip ponytail in two so I had 3 strands on each side and braided them.

I also took out the big ponytail in the back and parted the hair down the middle to make 2 pigtails.

I took each braid and crossed them over to make a X shape I attached them to the pigtails.
Then put in cute bow's and freshened up the curls at the ends. And your done.
