Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 6 small hair elastics, hairspray {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 3-5 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Start with damp hair. Have hairspray or spray wax ready.
- Part the hair on the side.
- On the heavy side, pick up a small section of hair from the top front.
- Divide into 3 pieces and begin a dutch french braid.
- As you braid, spray your hair with wax or hairspray to help secure your braid.
- Try to keep your braid fairly tight. If you have a wiggly one, give her a movie watch or a game while working on her hair.
- Because toddlers have fine hair and lots of layers, tie your first braid off at about the ear. This is where your bun is going to rest.
- Begin a dutch french braid on the opposite side of the head. Work backward toward your first braid.
- Once you run out of hair to add in, tie off with an elastic. IF the hair is long enough, combine with your first braid and tie off.
- Next, pull your two ponytails together and create a messy bun.
