Toddler Fancy Hair

As I have mentioned so many times my daughters hair is so fine and difficult to work with that when I start a hairstyle I always hope that it turns out cute.

We started by making a small poof in the front of her head.

Because of how short and thin her hair is we took the bottom half of her hair and secured it upwards with an elastic. 

Then all the hair gets pulling into a high ponytail.  I put ringlets in her hair using the flat iron.

Once the ringlets were done I used bobbie pins to lay them in place. 

Below is the top back view of her head.

This last picture is to show everyone how much fun we have doing her hair.  As you can see she is full of it and always a moving target for hairstyles.

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.

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.

More Heart Fun

This was a fun and best of all a really easy hear to make.  So if your in a hurry this is the style.

Start by making a V shaped poof in the front of her head.

Then take a really small amount of hair just below the poof and half of your hair in the poof and secure with an elastic as shown below.

Do the same on the other side.  Then take the ends of the hair and pull them down low an centered and secure with an elastic.

Toddler Poof and Rolls

Start by making a small poof in the front of her head.

 I then started on her right side and rolled the side hair back to the center of her head as shown below.

Roll on the left side the same way until it meets the other roll.

 Secure the 2 rolls together in the center of her head along with the hair from her poof. Shown below.

 Then we made ringlets with the flat iron to give her hair some body.

 Below is the top view of her hair.

Side French Braid

This is one of those really quick and easy styles.

I put her bangs back into a poof and secured it with an elastic.

 Then I made a single french braid down the left side of her head and braided all the way to the ends of her hair.

How to Make a Poof

I recently got asked how I do my daughters poof.  I am going to attempt to explain

With my oldest daughter we often times just pull her hair back and use the bobby pins to push the poof forward.  I also use a straight end comb (rat tail comb) and put it evenly under a small layer of hair in the front and pull slightly.   This smooth out the hair and poofs it up.

However if we want a bigger poof.  This is the trick we use.

 Start by making your parts and pull the rest of the hair out of your way.

Next make a part in the center of your hair for the poof.  Move the hair across the front of her face out of the way for a moment.

Then pull the back half of the hair into an elastic and push it forward and secure with bobby pins.  **If you criss cross the bobby pins they say in much better.

Now take the front piece of hair and comb it over the poof and secure it with bobby pins.  If your daughters hair is too thin to stay with just bobby pins use an elastic and then use the bobby pins to push the hair forward.

Start with the bangs pulled back into a poof.

                                                 Make 1 small french braid along the poof.

Then make a 2nd french braid parallel to the first.  As shown below do this to both sides of her head. 

The top of her head with the poof and braids is shown below.

                                                        Then pull all the hair into a ponytail.

Make a messy bun with the ponytail.
