We wanted to do at least one Valentine's Day hairstyle this year that will work for little girls, toddlers, and baby girls (as well as "big girls.") If your daughter's hair is baby fine, thin, or on the shorter side, this cute heart hairstyle is for you!
Btw, all of the heart shaped hair you've been seeing lately doesn't have to be just for February and "V-Day." I'm thinking hearts in your hair would be so cute on a flower girl (at a wedding) or any time really!
I think I mentioned before that "The Pea" had "cut" a lot of bangs (or fringe) quite a ways back onto her head lol. So, I started the heart back a little further than I normally would. If your daughter doesn't have bangs, you can incorporate all of the hair on top of her head. Just do what works with the head of hair you are working with. ;)
To create this style you will need:
- 2 small elastics
- Ribbon (we used about 18 inches.) Of course, if you would rather not use ribbon, you could braid or twist the two strands of hair forming the heart shape instead.)
- A topsy tail (optional.) We found ours at Hair Flair Boutique.
(Be sure to watch the end of this one.... lol.)
