A fancy schmancy updo for a special occasion. Maybe a New Years party, or even a flower girl hairstyle! She actually wanted a princessy type hairdo to go with her cute new
Christmas dress.
Make the parts first. We did one section in the front for her "bangs." One across the back going from ear to ear. And four diagonal sections going from the front to the back part. Put each section in a temporary ponytail to keep everything separated.
Slick down the bangs and secure them above her ear with a clear elastic. Then, do some kind of a french braid in each of the four diagonal sections. We did french twist braids. If you don't know how to do that, we have a video tutorial to help
here.
Place the finished braids up out of the way and pull the remaining hair into a ponytail. I did an upside down
pull through in the ponytail to add a little volume.
Next, gather all the braids directly underneath the ponytail and secure with an elastic. (You should now have 2 ponytails on top of each other.)
Curl all the hair in the 2 ponytails.
Now, to make the ponytail a little fancier: There is no exactness to this part. Just grab little sections of hair and sort of loop them around and secure them to her head with either bobby pins or little claw clips like this......
Do as many sections as you want to. I think we ended up using five clips total.
All done!
This sweet little dress came from
Madison Browne via a blog contest on
This Mom Can Shop. It was one of her favorite Christmas presents this year! She looked just like a little princess with her fancy hairstyle and dress.
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!! Ours was great. We'll see you all next year. :)

The hairstyle is gorgeous. We will try it out for our new years eve party. My dd is going to be a flower girl this summer. We might use this hairdo for that as well!And the dress is really cute. She's such a little doll.
