A Swirl Braid by the 12-Year Old

Someone once asked me to post what hairstyles my 12-year old comes up with. She was at a Young Women's Autumn retreat and from the brief explanation I received before she ran off again was that they spent a fair amount of time doing hair. She did this one on one of her besties.

She started in the middle and went from there. Not to shabby.

I did this one a little over two years ago on my oldest. We were sitting in church and the woman behind me just couldn't stop commenting on it. What a flattering moment! We have been waiting until Tess's sweet A-line bob grew out long enough for high ponytails. Turns out today is that day.

This is a super easy tweenage style for the days they want a regular ponytail, but you want something just a little more eye catching. Super easy, excuse the flash, I don't normally like to shoot with a flash, but when I am doing hair at 6:30 in the morning and I had to beg her to let me do her hair, a flash is what I get.

Some days I will get started on a head of hair and remember that I have a blog, which is the case with this one. *face palm* Oh well. Hopefully everyone knows how to part hair and braid. Because that is where you start with this little lovely.

While she is growing her bangs out, there are some things that she needs to be able to do with her hair pulled back. I just pull out some of the shorter front bangs and curl them.

This post is a flashback to the 80's. Anyone who watched "Saved by the Bell" has seen this in it's many variations. Sophie has been asked to perform in our county fair and has a dance rehearsal today (obviously, this was done in the middle of the summer and scheduled to post later) after a couple of months of not dancing. She has a tendency to play with her hair if it's loose and this helps remedy that.
