Letter "S"

For some reason we are still braiding letters into Baby Mermaids hair! Here is a "S" which I think was easier than a "T" Here is the first part that we did

now I braided across the top so it looked like this, and at this point I knew I was in trouble, when braiding an "S" you should part out all three parts at once, so when you get to the first curve, you can just take out your clip with one hand and continue on your merry braiding way. thank goodness little princess was home she held my braid while I parted out the next section.


You can see from this picture that I pulled from the front on the top part of the "S" and from both sides on the middle part and then from the bottom on the bottom part. why I did this it just felt right and I felt like I had more control on where the braid laid on her head!

Letter Hair "T"

The baby Mermaid wanted Letter Hair! don't ask me why the inner workings of a 7 year olds brain is something I will never understand! So for some strange reason we decided on the letter "T" I started with dry hair and parted out the front like this. It will end up being the top of the "T" Then I had her face me and put her head down (look at the floor) while I started at the bottom and braided up to the part


Here it is braided up to the top

Then I split the pony that is the stem of the "T" and braided that into the top of the "T" I wish I would have pulled this a little bit tighter! she kind of had a bump on the top that I was not in love with but I guess it is all trial and error when you are braiding a T on someones head!

Here is the "T" from the top
Here is the bottom part of the T and her little pigs hanging down, I tried to talk her into braids all the way down but she knows what she wants!
