This one was a doozy! BUT I had fun, and that's the point right? After I do something elaborate like this, I feel the urge to go out SOMEWHERE and just show off my little girl, which for us, usually means something exciting like a trip to Walmart. My husband and I thought this one was funny though because the braids on the end of her ponys look like handles....not something to point out to other siblings if you do this 'do on one of your gals!
I started off with WET hair, and parted off the bottom third and pinned up the rest.
I divided the bottom into 4 ponys.
And braided the ponys down as far as I could. The criss-crossing does require a lengthy braid, so if your gal's hair isn't that long, you could skip the crossing and pull them straight up into the ponys.
Next, I zig zag parted the top and back sections of her hair. You could just part it down the middle, or at least just do an angle part up top. After I finished I think I should have parted it straight down the middle in the back. UP TO YOU!
I clipped off one section, and combed the other side up, ready for a pony.
Then I grabbed two braids, choosing alternating braids like so.
Do the same on the other side, weaving your braids. I actually weaved the braids like this before I secured them in the first ponytail, so they wouldn't loosen them after I had them in the elastic.
Prepping next ponytail.
Hopefully you can see how I weaved them here.
Secured in ponytails.
Next I began braiding pony down about halfway, then secured with elastic.
Next I split the remaining hair into two sections, and did two separate braids.
I left long ends on her ponys, to make it look like three separate sections.
These cutie pie bows are from Angela's Accessories. I really love the matching bows, since I do so many hairstyles with two ponys/buns/braids. These were perfect and go with so many different things!
