Girls Hair Do’s – The Starburst!

I totally forgot about this hair do until we watched some old home video’s and I saw it on my oldest daughter when she was about 2. It’s definitely one of my favs!

Start by finding the center of the head and make a part strait down from that point to the base of the head. Go back to the starting point and make another part going off to the side slightly to gather enough hair to make a sectioned pony tail. Make sure the pony tail is as close to the bottom of the head as possible because we want the hair to make a crown around the outside of the head.
Go back to the center starting point and repeat making a new section and add the hair from the 1st pony to the new pony.
Continue up the side of the head.
Over the top.

And down the other side!
You’ll end up with an off center pony tail, so this is how I finished it off… take the hair from the pony and loop it through the first and second pony tail loop. Does that make sense? Just look at the picture.
Then I just brought it back through again and secured it with a bobby pin.
Now on to the bangs. I know there are some of you out there that don’t know how to style the swoop bangs, so here is how I do it. Get the bangs damp, blow dry them strait down until almost dry then use a round brush to finish it off. Now swoop the bottom of the bangs over with your fingers and hairspray!

There you go!
Here is my other daughter. She has such THICK hair that it makes it impossible to do a single braid from a pony tail on the back of her head! So I had to make 3! I thought it turned out pretty cute! Something different…
