Little Girl's Hairstyles - Twist and Tuck 5-7 min

So, since I make up my own versions of most things on here, I also get to make up my own versions of their titles. This name, I think, should receive its own score, don't you think? (that's a 9.4!)

I started out intending to just do a low twist with a ponytail, but, as usual, it morphed into something else.

Start with hair well soaked and center parted. I also slicked it down with some of this stuff, down there. And yes, it says GENERIC. Now, I like the real stuff just fine. For me. For my own head, on which I spend a fortune, to get it cut and colored. For my darling children, however, whose hair is bright and healthy, I just can't bring myself to spend that extra $ to buy them the fancy stuff. So I compromised, and got this stuff at my friendly neighborhood Sally's. And it works superbly. :)

I started by combing it smooth, and twisting one side towards her head, beginning behind her ear.

I twist it until I have a roll, like so, clip it, and then do the other side, twisting toward the head.

When you have both sides twisted you can then secure with an elastic, and leave down in a ponytail (my original intent).

I wasn't happy with how the pony was hanging on this occasion, so after putting in the elastic, I pulled the pony up and over, pushing the pony towards her head, and between the twists.

Her hair was long enough to wrap around again, and when I brought it up, I twisted it, and then stuffed it in one side of the twist. I stuck in two bobby pins to hold in the ends.

And it stayed! I was as surprised as you are! You can wrap the hair around just once or just leave it in a pony, whatever works best for the length of hair. The gel really helps keep the hair in longer, along with a healthy dose of hairspray.

And back. Isn't the hair flower darling!? I'll be posting the link of where to go to buy these soon. They are my new favorites!

She has a different bow on the top picture, because I realized this flower didn't match what she was wearing. I had to include both pictures because I couldn't decide which one I liked better. This hairdo would be D-A-R-L-I-N-G for a little flower girl, or for Easter. Can't you just picture this twist with baby's breath, or little flowers stuck in all along the back?  FABO!
