Little Girl's Hairstyles: Progressive Twist Braid: 7-10 min

Oh it's so good to be back! I guess you just don't appreciate what you have until it's gone, right? I thought things about blogger were a pain.......but that's only until I tried doing the same things (with my super UN-tecchy expertise) in a different format. This is probably so humorous to most of you who can do all this stuff with ease, but really, for some of us, it's a major struggle! Ah well, thankfully we are back (feels like home) and we can get on with the hair! Thanks for the patience!

Here's another easy and simple hairdo for your little girl that will work great on school mornings. It would probably need at least close to shoulder length hair to stay in well, but it can work on slightly shorter hair as well.
Start with damp hair, and do an angle part from the forehead to back behind the opposite ear.
 Divide that section in half, on the side you parted off, and prepare to do a twist braid.
 Do a twist braid to the ends of the hair, and secure with an elastic.
Next part off the second section of hair, going from the far side, behind the ear, to the other ear. Divide in half, prepping for another twist braid.
 Take the first twist braid, and wrap it with right section of your second twist braid, as pictured.
 Continue with the twist braid.
 Finish down to the ends again, and secure with elastic.
 Gather the rest of the hair, divide, and repeat what you did with the second twist braid, adding it in again. Twist braid down to the ends of the hair.
 Finished side.

 I like to put a bow or flower at the base of her neck, when she's sporting a long braid. It's just where it stays in, and doesn't catch on anything while swinging around.
We don't know what prompted the ill at ease face......but it's ok, we are still happy with how the hairdo turned out!
 Happy Blogging to all of you!

    Cute hair do, might give that one a try. Have you tried Windows Live Writer? Its free to download and you can link it up to any blog AFAIK, certainly blogger, but its sooooo much easier to edit and post. Cos its a MS product its really easy to get the hang of. I found adding pictures much easier as you aren't uploading each one as you go, they all get posted at the end when you are publishing, which might take a while but you're done then and don't need to wait for it to get one to the next thing. Hope that helps

    Thank you for your comment on Family Volley. It made my day.
    I am so glad to have found your blog. I have two girls and one more on the way, due in May. We have lots of hair around here and I can't wait to try all of your ideas and pointers. You do such a good job explaining. Thanks for all the pictures and ideas. We need them.

    I am off to do some more browsing.
