French Braids And A Messy Braid Bun

Make a box on top of her head. Split it in 2 and french braid both sections in opposite directions.



You'll have to ignore the crown here, LOL. It was a dress-up day at school and of course, she wanted to be a princess (what else?) Sometime soon I'll do a post showing how we got that crown to stay in (just in case someone else here lives with a princess.)

Anyway, make a ponytail and bring the braids from the front to combine with the pony. Make three small braids in the pony, leaving out some ends at the bottom.



Make one more big braid with the rest of the hair in the pony.



Loop 2 of the small braids back up through the elastic on both sides of the big braid, letting the ends stick out.


Now loop the last small braid up through the elastic underneath.


Wrap the big braid around everything, forming the messy bun and secure with an elastic.


K, if you're not playing dress-up. Here it is without the crown and some cute accessories from Every Little Detail instead!

  3. Love it, you know with all these awesome styles my daughter is going to hate me when her hair gets longer. Im just now able to put her hair in two tiny braids! I'm hoping by summer her hair will be a little longer and I will be able to really start doing things.
    Would you have any ideas on how to make them keep thier ponies in , my girl rips them out all the time , but when I put in the tiny braids it doesnt bother her, Im thinking that it might be cause the ponies are to tight.

  6. Lisa, My daughter didn't like anything in her hair when she was really little either. The older she got, the more she wanted it! It'll get easier!!

  7. Love it! I love all of these fun spring "do's" that are coming out. Do you have a cute hair style that would look cute with two small knotted bows?

  12. I was wondering if you ever mentioned how you were able to keep her crown on. My daughter is being Cinderella for Halloween and I would like the crown to stay on her head all night. Any suggestions?
