Braided Mini Ponytail Hairstyle Instructions!
Hello!
Today’s video is a tutorial which was requested from an outfit post that I did a little while ago.
This style is a small overhead braid ending in a mini ponytail.
Basic knowledge of how to braid will be needed for this tutorial.
Grab a section of hair from the top of your head and pin out of the way.
Tie the rest of your hair out of the way so it doesn’t get caught up.
Pin your fringe too and then release the top section.
Take a small section from the top on one side and begin the braid.
Continue the braid all the way over to the other side of the head until you run out of hair.
Keep the sections fairly loose so they are a bit puffy.
You don’t want it to sit too flat on the head otherwise it will be too hard to see.
Tie it up into a ponytail.
unpin and brush out the rest of your hair.
In the outfit of the day video this is from, I wore it with a front quiff but it’s just as cute with it down.
I like to add a flower for a spring look.
You can also pull the braid out a bit more to make it even puffier.
I think braids like this work best with slightly unwashed hair or you can use some sea salt spray to give them texture and make them super puffy.
Done!
This style is very cute for summer or winter but I prefer it in the warmer months.
I hope this was a useful video. Please check out the blog post linked in the description for more information and a photo tutorial.
Thanks so much for watching!
Bye!
Today’s project is another recycled outfit. In fact this has been recycled before! You could probably even call this one tshirt surgery XD
I had this dress which while very comfortable I never really wore it because I didn’t like how the top sat. I had already given it a make over, I can’t find the damn post I did it in though. So typical! >_<
Anyway, the fabric was pretty so I made a couple of pajama tops out of it instead.
I cut the skirt part out and cut a piece which was long enough to wrap around my torso.
Then I stitched it in a tube and hemmed the top.
I made some straps out of the same fabric by cutting a rectangle and folding it in thirds.
I measured and stitched them on.
Taadaa!
Extremely easy to make these. The stretchy fabric is forgiving so you don’t need to be exact in your measurements. You can of course just buy some tshirt fabric or cut up an old shirt to make into your own version.
They are super comfy and great for sleeping in Summer when you want fabric which breathes a little better.
Now this dress has had 3 incarnations I just need to decide what to do with the bodice part of it and maybe I can make it 4 XD
First up my favorite video of all time because it features Miss Lottie!
This tutorial has been requested for aaaages and honestly I’m not sure why I didn’t do it earlier, it’s so easy XD So here’s my all time favorite hairstyle, the big curly one sided thing… it really needs a catchier name -_-‘
This week I played with the first set of Kiss Nail Stickers which were given to me by the lovely Sefie! I preferred these to the other vinyl ones I’ve tried which had a tendency to peel off and the designs are very blingy 😀
