After learning how to tie her shoes last weekend, we made a trip to Kohl's and Aubrey picked out these beauties:
I thought a funky 'do was a must to go with them. Last week I read
an article about how the mohawk is making a come back so this is our version!
We started this the night before. I parted her hair down the middle, sectioning out some for "bangs".
Then each part was divided into three ponies.
Next, each pony was french braided towards the middle of her head. I found it work best to do
these braids while she was laying on her side.
After that it was time for bed!
The next morning this is what we had to work with:
I then took hair from each french braid and made a third pony.
Where the french braids ended it looked like this.
Every middle pony was rolled up and pinned.
The rolls were secured by making an "X" with the pins. At this
point it was ok if the pins were showing because the side rolls would soon cover them.
The side ponies were then rolled towards the middle of her head and secured.
Then I rolled up her "bangs".
The funky faux mohawk 'do:
How fun! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteThat's soooo cute! Will it work on long hair, my girls have hair down to their waist, will have to try and see what happens.
ReplyDeleteYes it will work on longer hair. It is kind of hard to tell by the pics but Aubrey's hair is to her waist.
