Loose Side Braid

 This has been a HairStyle Hit at our house.  Since I first did this style a couple of weeks ago she has asked for this style about 5 or 6 times.  This style is so simple, easy, quick.

All you need is a water bottle, comb, and a single elastic.

Start the french braid just above her right ear and braid along the base of her head.  When you get to the left side keep the braid low and pull the hair to the braid.

 Below is the back view.  The pictures don't do this style justice to how cute it looks.

 Make a simple braid on each side with the hair across the front of her face down to her ear.

Simple Braid Headband

This is really simple fun and cute.

All you do it make a normal part in her hair we use a side lateral part.

Then take a small section of hair at the back of the lateral part and braid it to the ends.

Take another small amount of hair across the part and braid it to the ends.

Combine both braids underneath all of her hair and secure with an elastic. 

The only thing to remember is make sure the hair on the sides is smooth under the braid on both sides.

Toddler Poof and Braids

On my oldest daughter I would say this style is really easy but with my youngest this can be a trick.  Not only because her hair is so thin but she is also a moving target while trying to braid. 

First make a small poof in the front of her hair.

Then start above her ear on one side and french braid her sides up until you reach the center of her head.  Do this on both sides of her head.

Add the hair from the poof and both braids and combine into an elastic as shown below.

I finished this style by making ringlets in her hair and she wanted a bow added.

Scrunched Braid

My daughter gets so many compliments on this simple style. 

You make a simple braid we did this to hold her bangs back out of her face.

Once the braid is in place hold on the center strand and pull the remaining hair up towards her head.

Then secure with an elastic.

Poof, Braids and Ponytail

Start by making a poof in the front of her head. I used 2 small bobbie pins crossing each other to give it a little bit bigger poof.

Take the right side hair as shown below and make a braid.

Make the same braid on the left side and secure both braids and the remaining hair into a ponytail.

I took a small amount of hair and wrapped around the ponytail and secure.

 This is quick, fun, easy, and really cute.  All you do is start by making your part.  Then make a small braid on the right side of her head as shown below. (Braid all the way to the ends)
