If you read last week’s post, you will have seen that I’m trying to up my hair game a little as I’ve seen how pretty Carly’s hair can look when a bit more effort has been made than a simple ponytail.
So this week I’ve been having a go and have two styles that are relatively easy to recreate in a quick time, because with three minions to control of a morning, I don’t have time to be sat around for ages doing hair.
The Plaited Up-Do
For this one I simply separate a small amount of hair either side of Carly’s face, pull up the remaining hair into a ponytail on the top of her head, make a plait either side, tie the end of the plaits with a thin band, and then tie the ends of the plaits with the main pony into a loose bun with a fourth hair tie.
Et voila, something pretty but simple and suitable for nursery.
The Pretty Ballet Bun
This one takes a little more effort but is still simple enough. For this you will need a hair bun.
Tie hair up on the top of the head with the hair bun and then cover it over with the rest of the hair all around. Use a hair tie to hold the hair in place.
I then used a big elasticated flower bracelet of mine to go around the base of the bun to tidy it up and this made the style even more feminine and dressed up.
I finished it off by pulling her unruly fringe to one side. This style is more suited to a meal or other special occasion.
Do you have any other simple child friendly hairstyles I can try?
I have boys – not going to be able to do this with their hair!
Very cute hair! Love both of these styles. Simple but lovely.
I have boys! but I do have several nieces and these would look wonderful in their hair!
Really sweet hairstyles! I keep putting Lily’s in to little high bunches but then twisting them round so they’re like two princess lea style top knots. Her hair is still a bit baby fluffy though so it still can look messy!
So sweet! I have a little boy who’s due his first haircut soon.
cute cute cute, my go to hair styles for my girls are french plaits or bunches I think they’re adorable! xx
