Wrap Around Fake Fishbone Braids

Wrap Around Fake Fishbone (1)

Almost 2 years ago I’d done this fun style on Bug that I called a “Fake Fishbone.”

Fake Fishbone Hairstyle (1)

I’d almost forgotten about it until recently. There are so many styles in my archives that I sometimes forget what is in there! Funny enough, my BFF Jenn over @ Girly Do’s and I got talking and she’s got a fun similar style using this same idea that she did on Beans forever ago too (go HERE to see it — Beans looks so darling – she’s sooo little!)

Anyway, using this same technique I did this cute one on Bee recently.

Part the hair from ear to ear over the crown of the head. Then make part it in the middle or off center, as I did. Make a small little pony & do a pull through. You can watch my video HERE on how to do those if you aren’t sure.

Then add a rubber band a few inches below your first pull through.

Wrap Around Fake Fishbone (3)

Divide that little section of hair in two – making a hole.

Then tuck the rest of the pony tail through the top of it and pull it through.

Once it’s all pulled through it should look something like this:

Repeat 2 more times, so you have 3 of these fake fishbone braid sections.

Repeat on the other side of the head.

Then part the hair diagonally at the angle your fake fishbones fall if you pull them a bit out from the the head. You don’t want to pull them straight back around into the middle of the back of the head. You want it a bit lower, so the part is a bit of a different angle.

Wrap Around Fake Fishbone (9)

Part both sides of the hair at that angle and pull the fake fishbones backwards and combine all that hair and the 2 “fake fishbone” sections into a rubber band.Wrap Around Fake Fishbone (10)

After I pulled it back into the ponytail, I added some curl to all the hair hanging down, and then added a flower & we were done. Pretty quick & easy.

** If you were doing this on an older girl, you could totally tease the hair on the crown a bit to give it some volume or if you have a Bumpit you might stick one under the hair. I just didn’t think she needed the “poof” there in back!

I really liked this one and it was quick & easy, without taking forever like a real fishbone braid does.

Let's just pretend it's a week ago and this just h Let's just pretend it's a week ago and this just happened! ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‰ For Halloween McKayla and her friends decided to be the characters from the movie "Inside Out" and she was Joy.  She's been so busy and hardly home, so the night before we scrambled and in 5 hours we made her entire costume, dress and hair. Her dress was out of 3 t-shirts (thanks @beccabeachofficial for your fab tutorial btw) and we managed to find a blue wig but it required a bit of a haircut! ๐Ÿ’‡ yikes! It all came together fabulously in the end, right down to her blue eyebrows! I'm pretty sure "joy" is a synonym for McKayla, so it was a perfect fit!
