My Little one's hair: Zig Zag Messy Pigtails

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!

Zig Zag Messy Pigtails

The zig zag part looks really hard to do to some people. But it is really easy, sometimes when I'm short on time and I don't want to fuss with getting the part straight down the middle, I'll do a zig zag part.

I wish I had taken the time to take pictures to show how I do it, but since I don't have a picture I'll just have to explain the best I can. Later I'll take some pictures or a video and show how quick and easy it is.

All you do it take a tail comb, start from a point at the top of the head and zig zag back and fourth, don't worry about the hair on the comb you actually want to just leave it because when you get to the end you'll have hair on each end of the comb, pull it apart and it will create a zig zag. A more easy way for me to do it is take it in two sections I stop at the crown, separate the hair, and pick up from the crown to the bottom.

Fix where needed, remember it doesn't need to look perfect.
