Little Girl's Hairstyles -The Daisy Chain Braid 20-30 min

I am not sure if there actually is another real name for this braid, because I looked all over Google, and didn't find anything else, so I guess I get to be original here. It's actually a series of knots, instead of braiding, and I just liked the sound of Daisy Chain for this. All girly and flowers work for me!

And, I WILL be posting a video of this one. Sometime. Soon.
There's that cute bow again from Madibu Bows!
I did two here, but of course you can do just one, which saves you a bunch of time. I do prefer the smaller chain braid myself, which is why I am showing it in two. Begin with one side, other side clipped off. I did do it with wet hair here.
Take your usual section , just like when you start a french braid, and divide into two pieces.
Tie a knot and pull it down tightly. I have done the knots in all different ways, and it all ends up looking the same. The important thing is to be consistent in how you tie them, always putting the same side over/on top.
After you tie the first knot, take sections from BOTH sides, one side at a time, and add them to your existing sides of the knot. Then just tie another knot. Continue to add pieces from both sides and then tie, keeping it tight. It also helps to comb out the hair frequently, and keep it wet, to keep the small hairs from sticking up when you knot the hair.
This is showing how I've added in the hair from both sides, and am tying another knot.
Folding over the hair, and pulling it through.
I tied off the braid once I reached this point, as it is harder to knot the rest of the hair, even with hair her length.
Both sides finished.
