Double waterfall Braid

This is a tutorial for a double waterfall braid, done the easy way! cause I am a cheater when it comes to waterfall braids and no one has to know, unless I tell you all on my blog!

so I start by sectioning out the top part of her hair and then do four Dutch braids starting at the front and ending in the back, I am not super fussy about the parts because they are going to be hidden anyway!

After I have all four braids done..

I braid them into one braid, going down the back of her hair just to finish it off

Then this is where it gets easy, just section out the very front piece of hair and put it through the first section of braid, on both the top and bottom braid using your topsy tail,

Keep pulling a small section at a time until you have all of your hair through

And your done!

tied pigtails

These are so simple, I really should have just done a video to show you but with baby Mermaids Touretts it stresses her out and then we have crazy jumping coughing etc..so here are step by step pictures!

Section out the very front piece of hair and have your darling assistant hold it,

Then take the same piece from the other side,

and hook it to the piece from the other side where you want your pigtail to start

then you just repeat hooking it on the other side

Then you take the next section, across and under the pigtail to hook on the far pigtail

Keep going and your done!

Violet Bouregaurd!

Our Little Baby Mermaid was Violet in Willy Wonka, and I just have to brag a bit! she did such a great job! we were so proud!

Here she is with her mother and Willy Wonka,

Here she is getting tempted by the gumball

Starting to blow up

Getting bigger

And Bigger until she finally popped!

Here is The Little Princess as a oompalompa

 

and Monkey Man as a oompalompa

Half a Knot and curls

Little Princess wanted her hair curly and pulled back to show off her new “glasses” so I just did this super easy do..

I just pulled back the bangs, got out the topsy tail and wrapped her elastic with hair,

Then I pulled out the curling Iron (yep I kinda went back to the Iron for this one not the chi) and curled her hair super quick, and your done!

sideways braid (Kristal this is for you)

So I started with fresh clean dry hair on Baby Mermaid for this one,

Then I did a sideways braid down from the front to right above her ear on the other side

I kept braiding her hair until I just had a little end then I secured it with a rubber band, next I folded up the end of the braid, and secured it with bobby pins, remember this is Baby Mermaid so we hooked bobby pins in every loop of her braid crossing, so its in really tight

Then we took the end and slipped it through the braid with our topsy tail (I could have used my fingers if I didn’t have such a useful tool. Then I just bobby pined the ends back down the bottom, you cant even see them they are under the first braid,

and your done!
