Braided Side Pony

Welcome to MY RUFFLED SUNSHINE! My first post is a basic side pony but I love to add a few extras - like braids and little ponies. It turns a basic do into a fabulous    one. Here are a few tips - I always do my daughters hair in front of the TV, this keeps her happy and occupied while I work my magic. You will need a squirt bottle, fine tooth comb, and rubber bands (I  like the little ones). Lets get started!

Part her hair (her natural part line) and then start working on the smaller side. Take the comb and make a part down to her ear. Then with that section divide into two and make two little ponies. Pictured down below.

Part down another section behind the ear and divide into two. 

Take the bottom pony from the first section and add it to the top of the second section. Repeat with the other two little ponies. You will end up with an X.

Then braid the two sections and set aside. 

Repeat on the opposite side! 

She is a great helper. Here she is helping hold both sides of braids so I can comb and gather the rest of her hair into a side pony. Pictured below.

Finally add the four braids and your done.

Add a flower or ribbon and you've got a great new do!

Here's another great tip - if your using ribbon - string it through a rubber band and then add the rubber band to your pony - your ribbon will never slip or slide!
