Bobbed Piggy Braids

I love this hairdo when I am looking for something that will stay for the day but still looks girly. It holds up pretty well. Here are some very general directions

1. Part hair down the middle to the crown
2. Make a T part from the middle to the ears on both sides at about the crown
3. Put in elastics to make 2 little pony tails(i like the colored elastics from wal-mart but you have to wrap them 5-8 times on little girl hair and they are only good for one use)
   
4. Braid the little pony
   
5. If your little girl is big enough, she can hold the end for you. Otherwise, you have to put a small rubberband (loose enough to get out easily) at the end of each braid.
   
6. Take each braid and make a little loop. Fasten the looped braid to the pig tail base with another rubberband. (and pull out the place holder you were using)
7. Attach little clips or bows to dress it up or just leave it with colored rubber bands
8. The unbraided ends of the braid stick out in a "messy bun" type way. You can straighten them or curl them or just leave em alone. Kate's are pretty short and there aren't many of them so I just leave em.
