Puff Braids

I thought this one was pretty self-explanatory, so I didn't take a million pictures like all my other posts. This would also work on a girl who doesn't have much hair, or her hair is really short.
The best way to do this is when the hair is slightly damp. I parted it on the side, trying to keep the elastics as even as possible.
I curled her hair to finish it off.

People always ask how I get her curls to stay all day. The cue is "dirty" hair. We've all heard it before. But since I bathe her in the mornings, I blow dry her hair, add polmade & curl it in sections (bottom, middle & top). Before I curl each section, I spray her hair with hair spray to make it "dirty". Then I curl away. I spray again once I've curled one section. Repeat with each section.

Inside-Out French Braids

(If you don't know how to do this french braid, remember you can click on the utube link that I provided for a demo.)

Start by parting the hair straight down the middle. Like always, I clip the side I am not working on out of the way.

Braid away. I like to go down a little further, just to make sure I get all the hair in.

Do the other side now & put an elastic in about the same place.

Then, bring the braids together (I always cross mine, they look nicer) & put an elastic in. Take the other elastics out & unbraid up to the new elastic. Put another elastic in but don't pull the hair all the way through this time. My daughter has a natural curl so it automatically goes over the pony tail with a little help of hair spray. If your daughter's is not like this, you could do a quick curl to make it stay over the pony.
