How To Create A Heart Crown Braid
- Start with clean Shampooed and conditioned hair, towel dry.
- Brush any tangles out.
- Create a half ponytail
- Split the half ponytail with your finger right above the elastic creating a hole.
- Guide the ponytail under and up through that hole (like a topsy tail)
- This will create a natural twist in your half pony tail.
- Divide the ponytail into two equal sections.
- Braid the two sections (if you are a skilled braid enthusiast try a Four Strand Braid), if your daughter is not yet old enough to hold the hair for you secure with an elastic.
- Take the ends of the braids and meet at the bottom, you can make any size heart you prefer big or small, secure with an elastic.
- You may want to use bobby pins to secure the hair in place.
- Use a little bit of hairspray to tame those pesky flyaways!
