My Little one's hair: Head Band Braid

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!

Head Band Braid

This is the Head Band Braid, it's really easy looks really cute and looks done up nice for church.

Start by parting the front section from ear to ear.

Have you little one tilt her head from one side. This may be uncomfortable so I have my little one rest her head on my leg while I sit and braid.

Start french braiding from the ear to the other ear, keeping the braid as close to the head as possible.

When the french braid stops, continue braiding to the end of the hair.

With this hairstyle I recommend curling the hair left down instead of leaving it straight because it hides the connecting braid underneath. (So that's why I left the hair straight in the back).
