Fancy updo

I separated her hair into 4 sections and pulled them into ponytails. I did a twist braid with each ponytail.  Then take each twist and Bobby pin it up into "S" formations. You will need a lot of Bobby pins. Pin each "S" together as well. Spray it off with hairspray and voila, one cute piggy. I got so many compliments on this hairdo. She wore it for church but you could stick some decorative hair pins in for prom.

3 Twisted Piggies

Sorry I didn't have a step by step on this one. I remembered to take pictures after the fact. So this seems complicated but is actually a piece of cake.

#1 Part hair down the middle.

#2 Section off a square on the top left and put aside.

#3 Section off a square on the bottom right and put aside.

#4 Put the rest of the hair into the 2 pig tails.

#5 Make 3 twists out of the top left section and add to bottom right hair.

#6 Make 3 twists out of the bottom right section and add to top left hair.

#7 Spray hair with water bottle and make a twist braid out of remaining hair. Fold over so the ends are sticking up in the air and tie off with another elastic.
#8 Do the same thing on the other side.#9 Tease ends and add ribbons, bows, headbands, whatever.

#10 Voila..... one cute little piggie!

Twisted bangs and ponytail

This was a fun hairdo. It took 15-20 minutes. #1 thought it looked pretty cool.

#1 Part hair on side.

#2 Start by using your comb and grabbing a small square section of hair on the vertical. Does that make sense. You don't have to have it diagonal but I like to.

#3 With the first squared off section, comb it straight up and then twist to the right until you come down to the head.#4 Put a bobby pin by having the straight part on the left side of her head and the bumpy part on the right. Push bobby pin through twist until it stays nice and snug.
#5 Continue this process all the way to the other side of head. I then went back to the part and did two more sections on the left so her whole top part of head had twists.

#6 Put lower hair in a side ponytail.#7 Add twisted hair to the ponytail.#8 Divide ponytail into 2 sections.

#9 Divide section into 2 pieces and twist to the right and do a corkscrew twist braid.

#10 Repeat for the other section.#11 Fold twisted braids up and secure and tie off with a clear elastic. Tease ends and spray with hairspray.#12 Add a bow or headband and voila....one cute little piggie!

Twisted bangs

This is a simple way to keep your daughter's bangs back if you are trying to grow them out. It took 5 minutes.

#1 Curl hair under with curling iron.

#2 Grab a square section of bangs and divide it into 2 pieces.

#3 Twist to the right and then twist the right piece over the left piece.

#4 Secure with bobby pins in a criss-cross or with a clip.

#5 Add a bow and voila.....one cute little piggie!

Twist side ponytail

This is one of my favorite ways to do hair. It is so simple. You can either leave it in a ponytail or do a side messy bun. I do this all the time. It takes 5 minutes.

#1 Begin by parting hair to the side.

#2 Grab bangs, if your daughter needs them pulled back, and seperate them into two pieces.
#3 Begin by twisting the right over the left. Now you will only be adding hair to the bottom pieces.#4. Keep twisting right over the left and then add to the bottom piece. Twist. Add to the bottom piece. Twist.
#5 Keep repeating step #4.#6 When you get to the other side of her head. Tie off with an elastic behind the ear.#7 Now you can either add a bow, headband or keep going and do a side messy bun. I just left it down and added a headband today.#8 Voila....one cute little piggie!

Twisted Puff Braid

So this is always a fun spin on a regular puff braid. This takes 15 minutes.

#1 Part hair on side and section off right side so you are only working on the left side.#2 Section off a square and put a clear elastic in it.#3 Section off another square right underneath the first square and tie it off with an elastic

#4 Separate top hair into 2 sections and twist to the right- ALWAYS to the right.
#5 Begin the twist braid by putting the right twisted piece over the left twisted piece and keep twisting until you get to the next sectioned off piece. Add the twisted part with an elastic to the section underneath it.#6 Separate hair into 2 sections again and begin twisting. Add to the final section of hair so it is now into a low ponytail. There should now be 3 twisted sections.
#7 Do the same thing on the right side.
#8 Separate left pony tail into 2 pieces and spray generously with water, unless their hair is already wet. Twists are always easier if they are really wet and they hold better as well. Begin twisting the right section over the left always twisting to the right until part way down and tie off with an elastic.

#9 Do the same thing on the right side.

#10 Add ribbons to the ponytails and voila.....one cute little piggie!

3 french braid twists to the side

This hairdo takes about 15 minutes. This is a fun spin on twists. I love twists. They are so fun and easy. #1 Start off by sectioning off the bottom into a low ponytail. You will part the hair ear to ear and then comb the bottom into a low side ponytail.#2 Next divide the top section into 3 sections or just start off one section at a time.
#3 Begin like you are starting a french braid but only use 2 sections. Twist to the right. Always to the right. Cross the right section over the left and add hair always twisting to the right. Add hair from the right twist, then add hair from the left twist. It is like you are french braiding but only working with 2 pieces.#4 Finish out the twist and put a clip in it or a small elastic.#5 Do the same thing to the middle section.#6 Do the same thing to the last right section. You should now have 3 twists. Add them to the ponytail with another clear elastic.#7 Make sure ponytail is really wet. Spray with water bottle or do this hairdo after a shower. Divide ponytail into two sections. Divide the first section into 2 pieces and twist to the right. Cross the right over the left always twisting. Leave some hair sticking out of the bottom, tie off with an elastic. Do the same thing to the other section. You should now have 2 twists.
#8 Fold the twists up in half and wrap another clear elastic around it so the ends are sticking up. Spray ends with water and tease.#9 Add a bow and voila....one cute little piggie!
