Toddler DO - Messy Buns

We are going to make two messy buns with four sections of hair!
Part her hair down the center of her head and your going to take a small section 
from the part down to her ear and make a little pony.



Then your going to make another pony by taking another section of hair going down 
from the top-back of her head.


This part can be a little tricky. You will want to take another section just don't take all 
the rest of hair make sure you leave a section of hair at the bottom. Make a small pony 
and pull it up so it is out of the way.


 Pull the last section of hair into a pony (pictured down below)



Take the bottom pony and add it to the pony above 


Now your going to want to loop it through the rubber-band but not all the way you will 
want to have a loop of hair. (Pictured down below) 


Take the hair hanging down and spin it around the rubber-band while stretching 
and rounding the loop into a donut.


To make it messy you will take small sections of the hair that is sticking out and loop it through the rubber-band again leaving just a small section of hair hanging out. Repeat until all of the loose ends 
are looped through. 


Here you have the finished product! 
Add some hair spray and a small flower clip on one side if you want.

BABY DO

Baby hair can be intimidating because they have hardly any hair to begin with and lets be honest it is not easy getting them to sit still. So as I have stated before my daughter likes to sit on the ottoman and watch the Disney channel while I work. But anything will do sometimes little ones love to look in the mirror so why don't you prop her in the sink and give her her toothbrush, or save up your empty makeup containers and let her pretend play with those (she will think she really is putting it on because she sees you do it). My girl friend told me she has her daughter hold the laptop, iPad  or kindle while she is doing one of My Ruffled Sunshine hair tutorials. I also find that snacks can be a good bribe to get her to hold still, either way just find what works best for you and your little one.

First start with a tiny section of hair in the beginning wider part of her head. And add a pony. 

Then move back and gather the same amount of hair and gather into a pony adding the first pony you did.

Then you will do it one more time - to make three little ponies. 

Gather and comb all the remaining hair into two pony tails including all the little ponies you made before. 

This is what it looks like from behind. 

Side view. 

Front view - Finish with a spritz of hair spray, curl the ends and add bows.
This hair do also looks great on toddlers and young girls.

Two twisty buns

For those of you begging for a easy hair style - this one is for you! Part her hair down the middle or as my daughter prefers down the side of her natural part line. Comb down into a low or high pony tail and secure with a rubber-band. 



Start from the rubber-band and start twisting - twist tightly until it starts to curl around into a bun. 



Once your bun is formed secure with a rubber-band. 


Finish with a hairspray and bows or flowers.  
There is a darling hair style that only will take a few minutes to accomplish. 
And looks darling on all ages of girls!

2 braids going into a side pony

Part down her natural part line. I know all of you are wondering why I never do anything parted down the middle - well that's because my little princess THINKS it doesn't look good on her so I have transformed all my dos to be down the side. After you part down her natural part do another part diagonal to that one down past her ear.



Start braiding straight down the section you parted off.
I'm doing a outer braid but your welcome to do a regular braid as well. 


Secure with a rubber-band. 


Move to the other side and start braiding down and around the back of her head with the remaining hair. 


Secure with a rubber-band. 


Grab both braids and secure with a rubber-band to make a ponytail. 
Remove the other rubber-bands and comb through hair.


Curl the ponytail and finish with a hair accessory.

Side Bumpy-Bun


This is a staple hair do in our house - in fact most of her friends call it the Aubrie bun, but we call it the bumpy-bun. We usually do one bun on the side but it also looks great as two bumpy buns also. 

First part her hair at the natural part line and start a part 
from there down to her ear. Part that section into half and put into two little ponies. 

Gather those two little ponies and make one little pony.
Like pictured down below. 


Now move over to the other side and repeat the first steps. 



Now you will gather all the hair in the back and comb into a low ponytail.   


Take the two little ponies from the front and make one little pony above the side pony you just made 


And attach to the big ponytail. Pictured below. 


Take another rubber band and go through the motions of making a ponytail just don't pull
the ends all the way through. If done correctly there will be a
loop at the bottom and her loose ends will be sticking out the top. Like below.


Now your going the comb through the hair that is sticking out the top
and loop it down. Then your going to thread it through the rubber band
that is holding the first loop you made.


 And there you have it - a bumpy bun!!! This is what it looks like when finished. 
Make sure you fan it out to cover the loose ends. 



Add a few sprays of hairspray and a hair accessory and  you have a great hair do 
that was simple but looks fancy!
Also, this looks fabulous in teens and adults (minus all the little ponies)!!!
