| Start with clean hair and brush out any knots.
Using your finger or a pin start sectioning a piece of hair starting from the top of your ear and moving backwards.
Clip it up and out of the way:
Underneath that and just behind the ear take a small section of hair:
Plait that section ^_^
Use a pin or a hair tie to keep it from coming loose for the moment.
Now on the other side of your head take a section near the top and pin it out of the way:
Plait another section under that and secure the end ^_^
Now with the first plait you made pull it over the top of your head like so:
Pin it on place like this:
Using the second plait make a loop:
Continue with the loop so it turns into a figure 8. Here you can either make it really tight so it looks like a bow or looser so it looks like a heart when it’s finished:
Pin it in place and cover the pins using a flower or another decoration:
Now you can unclip all of the sections you pulled back and fluff them up. You should have something like this:
Finished!
From one side:
And the other:
From here you could curl the rest of your hair for a more dressy look or leave it straight or wavy ^_^
Depending on what else you’re wearing at the time this can either be a really dressed up style or nice and casual!
Hope you enjoyed the tutorial, lots more to come ^_^ |

This is adorably pretty! I shall have to try it. I’ve been wanting to do more with my hair…
If you give it a try I would love to see photos!
That is really cute! I think I might have too much hair to do it though. :(

Too much hair? Haha just make a bigger plait ^_^
Very nice!! I love it, totally going to wear this tomorrow when I attend the first wedding :) Because it’s the same couple (they are having two weddings due to differing religions) I’ll try something different for the 2nd :D Maybe something more formal! (totally NOT a request for another tutorial because I hate being a bother, I’m sure I’ll find something <3)
Do you think this will show up okay on jet black hair? I might weave some ribbon or something into my hair so people can see the braids better :D Loves it!! Thanks sooo much <3
I think weaving some ribbon through would be awesome for your hair because yeah otherwise it might not show up as well >_< Mwahaha I've actually got you covered for a second more formal tutorial already this week because someone asked for prom themed styles! No problem!
That’s so pretty! : D <3
But what ever should I do if I don't have the cute flower pin to hide my bobbies?
Just let the bobbies show? (they blend rather well with my hair color anyhow)
Love the hair tutorials <3 can't wait to see more
Glad you like it! You could always tie the plait into a bow then jut hide the bobbies behind it? Good luck!
Cute! I’m super in love with your new hair! I just wish mine was as long as yours.
I’m totally keeping this tut. for when my hair is long enough!
