Christmas Hairstyles, Candy Cane Side Ponytail

A Cute Christmas Hairstyle For Girls

This video tutorial shows how to make a cute candy cane braid hairstyle (perfect for holiday parties and Christmas.)  I'm loving this holiday hair style because you don't need to know how to french braid or do anything too fancy to create it... and it's quick.

We have had many requests for more hairstyles featuring our darling 2 yr old niece/cousin (The Pea.) She's been MIA for awhile because of a small "incident" involving her hair. (You might notice she has bangs that start quite a ways back on her head now.)  ;)  I asked if any of you had ever experienced a similar incident with your child/toddler on facebook and received an overwhelming response!  It seems that if you get through early childhood with all of your hair intact.... you are in the minority!

 This style can be done with or without bangs, and on short hair or long hair.  If the hair you are working with isn't quite long enough to reach into a ponytail, you could try making the candy cane and then parting out a small section of hair directly underneath, to add it into (similar to the way we did our heart hairstyle for babies.)

Each time we have done a toddler hairstyle in the past, we always get questions about how we get her to hold still for a hairstyle.  The simple answer is that she doesn't hold still (as demonstrated in our video below.)  ;)  She is a perfectly normal (squirmy) 2 yr old, and we wouldn't have her any other way!
