Here’s a fun hairstyle tutorial that’s great for girls to wear to school. The criss-cross braids add a fun twist to a pretty pigtail style.
The great thing about this hairstyle tutorial is that it’s quick and easy to do, and it will stay in all day while they play.
Meet my beautiful niece and her gorgeous long hair! I don’t get to see her as often as I would like as she lives interstate. Last time I saw her I asked if she would let me play with her hair and she said yes (what a sweetheart!) and so I’ve got a couple of hair tutorials to share that we shot together.
Did you like people playing with your hair when you were young? How about now?
I loved it as a kid but now, not so much. While I love getting my hair done in a salon, I rarely have anyone play with my hair. I’m kind of funny about people touching my hair when it’s curly. I’m not angry and I won’t really freak out, but I don’t want people rubbing my hair and frizzing up my curls. When my hair is straight I love touching my hair but keep your hands out of the curls.
Am I being weird or do you feel the same about people touching your hair?
Anyway, back to my lovely niece who let me play with her hair.
It’s back-to-school time in Australia. Our school calendar runs the same as a calendar year. Summer holidays are over and it’s back to the daily routine.
I created this fun and easy style for her to wear to school. She has to wear a hat and this criss-cross braid sits comfortably underneath. It also prevents her hair from becoming tangled. Plus I just think it looks pretty.
Check out the tutorial below and let me know what you think.
