Being a girl, I loved having long hair because I would be able to braid it or do things with it that I couldn’t when it’s short. And even though I have grown up beyond my Youth – I still love to french braid my hair. (Yes, i do my own, many of my friends are surprised that I can do it and have it look fairly good.) and When I heard about Cozy’s Complete Guide to Girls Hair, I knew I just had to have it and share it with you! They have a Perfect Hairstyle for Valentines Day – just look at the Heart Shape Brade you can create.
How do you create a great braid like this?
What You’ll Need:
Wide-tooth comb
Fine-tooth comb
Hair clip
Ponytail holders
Time:
15 minutes
Step 1: Starting with damp hair (either towel-dried or misted), use a wide-tooth comb to detangle the hair. Then, using a fine-tooth comb, part the hair down the middle of the head. Clip one side up right above the ear.
Step 2: On the other side of the part, use the fine comb to gather a thin section of hair from the crown. This section should measure about 2 inches from the hairline to the top of the head.
Step 3: Divide this section into three, and begin a French braid starting at the crown and curving toward the temple, then toward the back of the head, like the top lobe of a heart. You will be lifting hair into the braid only from this side of the part. Leave no loose hair in front of the ears.
Step 4: When you reach the center part at the back of the head, secure the braid with a ponytail holder. If the hair is very long, end the braid about midear; the ends will hang down the back.
Step 5: Unclip the hair on the other side of the part and repeat the process. Secure with a ponytail holder.
Step 6: Join the ends of the braids together in the back with a ponytail holder to form the bottom point of the heart.
Even though I don’t have a daughter, I have lots of friends who do. So When We all get together I get to play Hair stylist for the girls! I love it. I love the fact that I can even braid my hair to be heart shaped as well. I have done it twice on my hair – the first time, i got a complete circle, but I guess I just didn’t start far enough in. The Second time it felt more like a heart shaped. I cant wait to get to practice this on all my friends girls. They are going to love it… Now on to checking out more of the hair styles they recommend.
