Little Girl's Hairstyles - 2 Side twists to low braided pony 7-10 min

This is a pretty quick little do, well at least, faster than you'd think. You'll need two elastics for this version.

Start with a side part, and fully damp hair, including underneath.

Grab a 1 inch or so deep piece to begin twist. See full side twist post on how to start your twist. Sorry I didn't picture it here. What was I thinking?

Do a full twist before bringing up hair from underneath. Keep combing hair down to from crown to keep it smooth on top.

When you get to the middle of her head, secure it with an elastic or clip. Make sure you can take it out easily with one hand, since you'll be holding the other twist when you come back to this point.

Do same twist on other side to the middle. This is the trickiest part--keeping the hair in the middle from poofing up, and then getting the other twist ready to join to the second twist.  Just keep your left twist tight, and pull down the hair smooth in the middle, then undo your first twist's elastic/clip.

When you can get them together, twist both sides down 1 or 2 times more, to pull them away from the head a bit. This will make it more comfortable on her little head.

Secure with elastic. You can braid, curl, or do a bun here. I did a regular braid down, after spraying it with water again thoroughly, and combing it out.

Spray with hairspray, and stick in a bow or flower and she's all sorts of marvelous!

Little Girl's Hairstyles - Bobby pin rolls 3-5 min

This style is really great on curly, short, or thin hair. If you have any cute bobby pins with flowers or gems on the end, this style is perfect for showing them off. If you do enough rolls, then it looks like they have a crown of flowers/gems. These are fast and easy. I do these on myself often as well. You'll need a bobby pin for each roll you plan on doing. I did three in this picture.

For this style, I started with wet hair, and did an angle part. You can part straight too, I just prefer the angle. On the larger side of the part, I parted off another section, about 2 inches wide.

Start twisting hair away from part. Start base of twist towards front of head, and pull it towards front of head, until you have a twist about 2 inches long. Giving your subject pretzels and parking them in front of the tv helps a great deal too.

Start laying twist down away from part, and the closer you get to the head, incorporate the hair on that side into twist.

Tuck the hair, in this case, on the left side, into the twist, until it's nice and tight and laying down, about 2 inches long. This can take some redoing, just keep trying until it looks about like this.

This is where you want to grab your bobby pin and open it. I like to use the longer flat edge on the side that's fattest, in this case, the right side, and the bumpy shorter edge on the less thick side, or left side here.

This shows how to position it. You'll have to enlarge this one to see it better. Lay the pin down flat to the head, and put one tip just to the right of the roll, and the other on the other side, so the pin straddles the roll. Push the pin in all the way, keeping it covered under the hair. This too can be tricky, so just readjust as necessary. It also helps to have bobby pins that closely match the hair color, as it will disguise it better.

This is what it should look like after you get the pin all the way in.

I parted off another section on that same side, using the same width as the first one. You can see that leaves some hair over the ear. The hair down by the ear is usually too sparse to roll, so I leave it. You'll have the same on the other side.

I do one roll on the others side of the part. This time I roll the opposite way, but again away from the part.

All three rolls finished. I decided to pull the rest of her hair back into a low pony to finish it. You can leave the hair down as well. This style is really great on curly, short, or thin hair. If you have any cute bobby pins with flowers or gems on the end, this style is perfect for showing them off. If you do enough rolls, then it looks like they have a crown of flowers/gems. This is a versatile, basic style, that you can incorporate into many hair dos.

With ponytail. Pretzels are finished.
