For those of you with short hair here are some fun hair ideas: Comb through your hair to ensure no snarls get in your way. Texture hair as you prefer with styling products to ensure grip. Part hair where desired all the way back and into a pig-tail style and tie off one side for later. Begin a small french braid along face incorporating all your hair on one side little by little so that the finished product looks almost like a fin when held up. Repeat the same thing on the other side until you have two braided fin like pig tails. Grab the first braid and gently sweep it over the back of your head and secure behind ear keeping it loose and lovely. Drape the other side over the first one making sure to hide the bobby pins, tuck the ends, and pin to secure while being sure to cross pins for a secure hold.

Braids are great.

What you will need:
Hair brush
elastic Lg and small
bobbypins
curling iron/curlers (optional)
Hair decorations (optional)

Create a small section at the top of your head using just bangs, tie off for later. Split down the center behind the bang section and braid a head band at desired width from top of head to behind both ears. Either pin or elastic tie the head band to hair at the base of the neck. Pull bangs and section back to small bump to cover and hide the beginning of the braids.

Starting a reverse french braid behind first ear braid across head to the other ear. At the other ear begin incorporating the rest of your hair down your shoulder and tie off once you reach the end. Pull the braid throughout gently to make the braid fuller.

Pull hair into a pony tail braid down to end (a ribbon is great to add in this style. tie off at the ponytail and make the ribbon one of three strands of braid) pull braided pony tail into a topsytail and wrap again to tuck in the end and pin to secure.
