Only add hair from the top of the braid (not from the bottom) and take tiny sections, or you'll run out of hair before you get to the bottom. Normally when I do this type of braid, I make it tighter and closer together so that it's wrapped around the ponytail several more times. It looks neater that way. But, I wanted this quick for school, so I loosened it up a bit.
This was a hard one for me to try and explain in pictures. So, I made a video. As usual, I knew my camera was going to cut me off at around a minute, so there's not much time for explaining. :) I think if you already know how to french braid you should be able to pick it up...
Super cute! I'm very envious of your french braiding abilities, by the way. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! Next time Ally says she just wants pigtails or a ponytail, I'm going to do this to spice it up!
ReplyDeleteWe love to do those too, except I've usually done a twisty braid ... I'll have to try a regular one next time. Very cute.
ReplyDeletelove this!
ReplyDelete=( how i wish there's someone who can braid my hair too... :) by the way.. your braiding skill is so so so wonderful.... :)
ReplyDeleteThis is genious! I love your blog!! My long haired daughter loves it too, however another fan of yours isn't able to do some of these. Do you have any ideas/pointers for medium length hairstyles?
ReplyDeleteLol, my sister and I love to do this braid for radios. We do both the horse's tail and our pony own ponytails!
ReplyDeleteSorry, that should read "rodeos"
ReplyDeletehow sweet I wish my dd had hair to braid
ReplyDeleteThis just made me miss my long hair. I would have loved having a ponytail braid like that.
ReplyDeleteALways love what you do with hair
ReplyDeleteWhen my daughter gets old enough to have braids, I'm going to have to steal you...
ReplyDeleteVery cute! My oldest would like this one!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I'll have to see if I can do this on my own hair.... It might be a challenge with my curls, but if I can make it look good, I'll be awfully thrilled! (:
