Opposite Rolls to Ponytail

*NOTE* To make the rolls below it is very similar to a braid but you use 2 strands and only pick up hair from one side. 

Start making the first roll from the a far lateral part (only roll up new hair across the front of her face).  Roll the hair enough that it will reach a ponytail.

Make the 2nd roll lateral to the first.  Start the second roll where you ended picking up hair from the first roll.  Roll the 2nd one long enough it will reach a ponytail too.

Pull all the hair except the rolls into a ponytail.

Take both the rolled hair and wrap them around the ponytail  I secured it with bobby pins.

Inspired by Lady Gaga

I started by making a poof in the front of her hair.  (We did this because she is still trying to grow out her bangs)

Make a french braid from the front near her ear all the way to the center back of her head.  Do this on both sides as shown below.  *Leave the poof and a small amount of hair below the poof out of the braid for now.*

Below shows both the french braids secured together and the hair left out. 

Now combine all the hair into a ponytail shown below.

Seperate the ponytail into 2 sections of hair.  Take the right side and make a loop leaving the ends to hang down towards her neck we will use this hair to wrap the center.

Do the same thing to the left side.  I secured the loop with bobby pins.

Now take the ends from the loops and pull them up around the center of the 2 loops.  Secure these with bobby pins as well.

Roll Crazy

I started with the front roll first and if your daughter is like mine I had to hold it with elastics to make sure the roll was tight.  *Note* I did the rolls similar to a braid but with 2 strands adding a new piece of hair as you roll.  Make 2 more rolls parallel to the first. 

Do the same thing to the other side as show below you will have a total of 6 rolls.

I left 1 small piece of hair out of a ponytail on both sides.  All the rest of the hair put into a high ponytail. 

Take the hair you left down and pull it around the ponytail.  This is done to both sides. 

Take small amounts of hair from the ponytail and twist them until they curl up.  Secure them with bobby pins.

I made a total of 4 twists in the ponytail.  (you can do more or less depending on how much hair your daughter has.)

Toddler Roll Fun to Ponytail

Since she doesn't hold still very long pictures are much more difficult to get on a step by step so I will do my best to explain. 

I started with a small front roll across the front of her head.  Then make a second roll facing the opposite direction parallel to the first.  Make a third parallel to the other ones going the same direction as the first. 

Then take the sides and pull them up and combine the rolls to the elastic.  Finally take the 2 sides and pull them to the center for one final ponytail.

Below is the back view.

Frenchbraid Headband

Simple fun and turned out really cute.  The pictures just don't show how cute this style turned out. 

I made a far lateral part and started the frenchbraid on her left side and braided back a little ways to make the braid look like a headband that had been pushed back to the ear line. 

Braid down a little ways and secure with an elastic.

Do the same to the other side.  The hardest part is making sure the braid line up on the top of her head.

Once the braids are done pull them tight and secure with an elastic at the base of her head under all her other hair.

Below is a top view of the braids.

French Braid Headband to Ponytail

This is simple and cute taken from a spin off of Lauren's Hair from Make it or break it.  I made a french braid across the entire front of her head and secured it with an elastic.

Then I pulled it all into a high ponytail.

Updo Braids and Twists

First make a braid as shown below.

Then take the hair above her ear and make a braid.

Below shows the 2 braids and how they should look.

On the left side leave a small amount of hair above the ear.  Pull the remaining hair all but a small strip of hair along the bottom of her head into a ponytail.

The hair on the left side make a twist.

Pull the top braid and the twist from the left side and secure it and the hair at the bottom into an elastic.

Then pull that hair up into a ponytail. Then take the remaining braid and pull it and wrap it around the ponytail.

Make a messy bun or leave the hair into a ponytail.
