Flip Under Knot Headband







I decided it would be fun to do a hair headband with flip under pony knots. It's the same idea as a braid headband but with flip under knots. I just parted her hair on the side and sectioned off from the part about 2 inches back and down to just behind her ear. I pulled the rest of the hair back and clipped it to keep it out of my way. Then I did about 1 inch boxes. I started at the part made one pony, flipped it under. Then I added that hair to the next box, made a pony and flpped it under. I did that all the way down. I repeated this on the opposite side. Then I made a part from the last pony on each side across the top of the head and put it in a pony tail. I took the hair from the two sides and made fishtail braids then added them to the big pony. To cover my elastic I just took a piece of hair from the bottom of the pony and wrapped it around. I used a clear elastic to secure it and pulled it tight. Then I just moved the hair a little so you can't see the elastic. This hair do would be cute just left down without the pony tail in back or you could add a real headband with it left down. You could also do lots of different kinds of braids in the back or just come the hair in with the pony tail. I added a pink hydrangea from Snapbandz and called it good. This time I left the rest of her hair straight and just flipped the ends under a little with my flat iron. Super easy and cute!

Zig Zag Ponies





I thought this turned out cute. I am not very good at writing how to's but I am going to try! For this one I just did a zig zag part down the middle to the crown. I did two zigs and two zags if that makes sense. I parted the hair from the middle to her ear and combed it into a pony. I flipped it under...repeat on other side. (make sure to do your pony tail loose enough that you have room to flip it. I just use my pinky finger or sometimes the end of a rattail comb.) Then I parted from the crown to just behind her ear. Add the hair from the front pony to this pony and add the elastic. Then I just flipped that pony under also. I used my flat iron to make some soft curls. My flat iron is my favorite curling iron lately. It gets hot super fast and doesn't take long to add some nice curls. Then to top it off I added a couple of turquoise cosmos from Snapbandz. Super cute!
