I guess when you get down to it, you might think that this is just “glorified puffy braids,” but after I got done, it really reminded me of one of my favorite hairdo’s I did forever ago when I’d first started my blog. If you’ve been around from the beginning, or have gone back through my archives, you might remember THIS ‘do. It wasn’t puffy ponies – or whatever you call them, but for the toddler version – that’s what I had to do.
Sorry – I forgot to take a picture of the left side of her head first. But being by parting the hair off center. I switched things up a bit, and did the side part on her left side. Then part down to the left ear and make a little ponytail. Secure with a rubber band. Then with the hair on the right side, make a diagonal part so that you make a triangular section of hair on the top of the head. Secure with a rubber band.
With the remaining hair that is on the right side, part it off to make another ponytail, and include the one you just made on the top of the head in it as well. Secure it with a rubber band. (Sorry if it looks like she’s picking her nose in a couple of these pictures! She had a little cup of water and was dipping her finger in it and “painting” her face!)
Here’s how it’ll look on the right side of the head. At this point, you’ll have 1 single pony on the left side, and 2 on the right side (forming 1 pony tail.)
Take the ends of each ponytail and bring towards the back of the head. Secure them with a rubber band off center – on the left side of the head. Make sure the hair is slightly damp for this – it works much better.
Then part the hair from around the back of the head from ear to ear. Smooth the hair and include the ponytail from above. Use a rubber band and form another pony tail.
This is what it’ll look like form the right side at this point.
Depending on how much hair you’re working with, or the size of your dd’s head, you can make more ponytails, and make the sections smaller. We were in a hurry, so I just made 1 more ponytail with the remaining hair at the bottom and secured it with a rubber band. I then curled her ponytail with my small barreled curing iron.
Add a fun accessory of your choosing and your done. This fun cute flower is from Every Little Detail.
So am I off my rocker, thinking Bee’s hairdo resembled this old hairdo I did on Bug forever ago? Just a simpler and quicker way of doing it. In the below hairdo, I didn’t include that top ponytail in any of the other sections. I did include it in the toddler version.
Anyway – Bee was being extra silly the day I did this, so we got silly & major cheezy smiles this day!
