X is for Xylophone
(not a whole lot of options for X words!)
Welcome back for one our last ABC Hairstyles! Like the Letter V hairstyle, this one most of you have probably done at one time or another, just probably not to purposely make the letter X! So again, despite it being a simple one, I can’t leave out instructions for a letter in our series, right?!
Step 1 – Part the hair
Part the hair right down the middle, from forehead to nape of the neck.
Then part the hair from ear to ear.
Step 2 – Braid
With the hair in front of the ear, braid, twist, or make puffy braids with that section of hair. Make a braid on both the right and left sides of the head.
Step 3 – Comb hair in back
With the hair remaining down in back, comb it until it’s smooth on the left side to prep it for a ponytail.
Step 4 – Add braids
Add the braid from the right side, to the hair on the left side, crossing the braid across the head. Secure the braid to the hair on the left with a rubber band to form a ponytail.
Step 5 – Repeat step 4
Now take the braid on the left and cross it over the top of the other braid and join it to the hair on the right side. Secure with a rubber band to form a low ponytail.
Step 6 (optional) – Curl
With a curling or flat iron, curl the ends of each pony tail.
Finished!
Try as I may, I couldn’t get Bee to make a “regular” face. Something about the sign language X made her think she had a pirate hook! So “Arrrrgh” … here is her X!
So there you have it – The letter X. If you wish for the top of your X’s be a bit higher, start braiding closer to the part, or start with little ponytails closer to the part and then braid them. Be sure to check out all our other ABC Hairstyles.
i have to say i just love all of your hair styles! i have tried a few on my 4year old daughter morgan. she loves the abcs. since she is in 4k and they are learning their abcs in school. one letter a week, i have been making that letter in her hair and her teacher gets a kick out of it! this week was their letter x! thanks for sharing all your wonderful hair styles with us! oh by the way we have the curlformers and she loves her curls!!
I’m so glad that you’ve been enjoying our ABC styles. This whole series has been really fun & I’m almost sad it’s over! Also happy you love Curlformers too! I don’t know what we’d do without ours!
X ? LOL Too funny!
Happy Mother’s Day!
Yes – letter X! We’ve been working our way through the alphabet this year while Bee is in Kindergarten! It’s been so fun.
i cannot believe how long bee’s hair is!!! love that style
Sorry if this is redundant…I just discovered these fabulous alphabet hairdo’s and for our home preschool we have been learning ASL for each letter and the “pirate hook” she is making is actually the letter x! 🙂 So its perfectly fitting!
lol – yes, I know! Along with doing her hair in a letter, I was teaching her all the letters in sign language to go with what was in her hair that day! We had a lot of fun doing that. So along with each hair letter, most of the time I also share a picture of her doing the ASL letter too! It was a fun time. Sort of sad those days are over!
