Valentines Hair Tutorial

Tis the season for hearts, hugs, kisses, candy and LOVEly hair.

I love show stopper hair and wanted to get adventurous with Stevie's for Valentines. Thought I would share.

Make sure the hair is good and brushed out.  Braiding is MUCH harder with tangly hair.

part the hair wherever you prefer (we parted it on the side) and then from there part down to behind the ear. (this was the section with the most hair after the initial part)

Dutch braid that hair all the way down.

part the other half down to behind the ear and then part down the middle.  This should make two even sections.

secure each of those sections with a rubber band and topsy tail them the OPPOSITE way you typically would.  (if you don't have a topsy tail you can use your fingers.  Just loosen the rubber band/hair bow a little bit first, make a hole with your finger and flip the hair through.)  You will be flipping the hair towards the face.

Grab half of the front section you have in the rubber band and half of the back rubber banded section and twist them together.  I got Stevie to hold that twist while I twisted together the other side.

Pull them around to form a heart shape and secure with a rubber band.

The heart shape will go a little funky.  Just reshape it and secure each side with a bobby pin.

Part the back down the middle and dutch braid those two sections.  (the side that the heart is on I incorporated the remainder of that hair into the braid.)

I took the first braid and brought it to the back and secured it with one of those braids at the nape of the neck.

Of course I finished it off with a red bow.

This took me about 20 minutes because I was making it up as I go and needed time to think.  Give or take a minute or two for yourself :)

You're left with a stylish Valentines hair do.  Hope you enjoy.
