Start with 4 low ponies. Make 2 twist braids in each one. (Take 2 strands, twist them in the same direction, then twist them together in the opposite direction.) Add elastics to the ends, leaving 1-2 inches at the bottom for spiking later.
Bring the braids up and tuck the ends into the elastics at the tops of the braids. Starting on the left, I pulled both braids in section 1 over to section 2. One braid from section 2 went to section 1. The other braid in section 2 went to section 3. One braid in section 3 went to section 2. The other went to section 4. Both braids in section 4 went to section 3. (It's really not so complicated, I'm just a bad explainer.)
Now you can add some bows/flowers/ribbons and fix the ends with a curling/flattening iron.
If you end up trying this one, I have another style that goes with it (this is a 2 for 1!) I've got a busy weekend ahead of me, so I'll probably be posting it Monday.

Oh wow, another cute one. I don't think my dd's hair is long enough though. I'll try.
ReplyDeleteAnother Q, don't think I'm weird I know you don't know me, but where did your family blog go? I enjoy following it, I went to check it this morning and it was gone.

I have a request. Could you possibly make a video showing how to do the twist braids? I have tried and tried but I can't get mine to look like yours. They always come undone as well. On this post those are perfect. They almost look fake, like rope or something. I'm so impressed!
ReplyDeleteLOL I even like how just the 4 twisted ponies look! Very nice!!
ReplyDeleteTFS!

Amy, I'll get to work on that. I've never posted a video before, hopefully I can figure it out!
