I found this image below on the Colour Me There facebook page a few weeks ago (ooh and BTW, congratulations to Maddie from Colour Me There on the birth of her new baby girl, Violet).

I love doing my girls hair and am very thankful that they both happily sit there while I braid their hair. Braiding the hair just isn’t about the cute hairstyle, I like to have it off their faces and tied back to stop the nits from jumping in.
We are back into school mode so I tried this adorable hair style, very cute and quirky!

Such a gorgeous hairstyle. I don’t know if I could manage doing it myself. My daughter is 3 so not quite so patient to sit there!
Maybe when she gets a little older Kirsty. I would sit and play with my girls hair from when they were young, just in front of the TV or before going out and now they are 8 and 10, it’s just a part of our normal routine that I do their hair, but Miss 10 has started to do her own hair for school these days, I must admit I’m a little sad.
I love this! I’ll be attempting it on my poor 7 year old this week 🙂
LOL, does she not like getting her hair done. It is very cute and the ribbon at the bottom can hide and messiness when you combine the to piggy tails together. Good luck!
Love this Kat! Looks awesome.
Thanks Kel, despite the look it’s not too hard.
Oh to have a girl to do this for. Just gorgeous x
It is very cute, maybe one day you can be the cool grandma braiding your granddaughters hair, you know in 30 years time!!!!!!
Hi Kat,
I tried the rope braid but would love to do the first one, it looks some feminine. Do you know if there are more detailed instructions,maybe a video tute like you did.
Thanks for a great,helpful,practical and realistic blog.

I LOVE this Kat! I adore quietly enjoying mummy-daughter time while styling my Miss E’s hair. I’m not sure how successful I’ll be at this one, but I’m definitely going to give it a go! Thanks for sharing, Fi x
It’s fun and the end result is a really gorgeous hairdo. Your right, it is great mother daughter time. I hope that I can still be doing their hair when they are teenagers and they don’t become too independent
Ha! Katrina, I am still braiding the hair of my 20-year old!!! She has quite curly hair and so she likes to keep it braided really neatly for work.
I cant do any braid just a simple plait. so you have a step by step to show how to braid hair?
Youtube have loads Lisa, try http://www.cutegirlhairstyles.com they have lots of tutorials 🙂
I tried it today on my Miss4, bit of a fail but will try again another day 🙂 I think I didn’t make the ponytail bit tight enough so it was wobbly.
Lovely! My girl is only a baby but I can’t wait to braid her hair. I’ve never managed to do it with my own hair though. Would love someone to post a tutorial for a plain braid so I could learn 🙂
Love it! I have done this one several times.
