Figure 8

We've been doing this hairdo for awhile. there are a variety of different ways to do this, including this way from Hair Today. Piper's hair is a little too long to leave some hanging out, but she will be getting a hair cut (trim) soon, so we will be able to do it like that then.

Basically I part her hair down the middle and do two high ponytails in the back, then I braid them. When they are braided I start with the left one and wrap it around the right one, then back around the left one and form a "figure 8" and tuck the ends under and hold it down with a bobby pin. Then I do the same thing with the right one. I use 4 bobby pins 2 to pin down the bottom of the braids and 2 to pin down the top of the braids just so they will stay down. Then I add cute bows or flowers or whatever.
