Hair Today: Triple Ponytails

Why I Do My Daughters Hair

For as long as I remember, I have loved pretty hair. Hair that had been combed and smoothed and placed in just the right way. I love going to church and seeing little girls looking pretty.

Then I had daughters of my own. I enjoy doing their hair. It is five to ten minutes just us. I lovingly comb out their hair and play with it and we talk. It is very intimate to me. I have had some of the best conversations with my daughters while styling their hair in the mornings.

When I became sick with my last pregnancy, that is what I missed the most. I missed the touching and the hugs and the conversation that I had with my girls.

I started this blog because I love to create and as life gets busy, I don't get to do all of the fun things that I used to do and this is a creative outlet for me.

So, if I am creating hairstyles, I might as well take pictures and share them with others. What good is an idea if it isn't shared?

So enjoy my little corner of the internet.

Triple Ponytails

We have been doing this one quite a bit lately. She loves it, I love it, life is good!

First, part the hair how you normally would for two ponytails. Then divide each side into thirds. I pulled the top third into a ponytail and the bottom third into a ponytail.

Then you take and pull the bottom ponytail and the top ponytail into the middle...like so.

Repeat on the other side.

You can curl the ponytails from here or leave them straight. However, I wasn't feeling it yet. So I took this method from Jenn (which I am in LOVE with, by the way) and made a messy bun.

I pulled out my curling iron. GASP! Did I really just say curling iron on this site? Why, yes. I believe I did. I do own one you know. Don't tell my flat iron. It may cry.
