Easy Heart Braid Tutorial for Kids
Are you looking for a fun and easy hairstyle to do on your kids? This heart braid tutorial is perfect for beginners! It’s a simple and adorable style that is sure to make your little one feel special.
What You’ll Need:
- Hair brush
- Hair elastics
- Optional: Hairspray
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. **Start with clean and dry hair.** It’s best to work with hair that is free of tangles. If needed, use a hairbrush to smooth out any knots.
2. **Part the hair in the middle.** You can create a straight or zig-zag part, depending on your preference.
3. **On one side, take a small section of hair near the temple.** This will be the starting point of your heart braid.
4. **Divide the section into three strands.** Braid the strands together for a few inches, moving the strands over each other in a traditional braid pattern.
5. **After a few inches, start to shape the heart.** To do this, you’ll need to add more hair to the braid as you go. On the side where you started the braid, add hair to the outer strand. On the opposite side, add hair to the inner strand. This will create the curve of the heart.
6. **Continue braiding, adding hair to the strands as you go.** Remember to shape the heart by adding more hair to the outer strand on the starting side and the inner strand on the opposite side.
7. **Once you reach the back of the head, secure the braid with a hair elastic.** You can leave the braid loose or pull on the strands to tighten it up.
8. **Repeat steps 3-7 on the other side of the head.** You will now have two heart braids, one on each side of the head.
9. **Optional: Use hairspray to hold the braids in place.**
Tips for Success:
- Don’t be afraid to experiment with different hair thicknesses. You can create a smaller or larger heart braid by adjusting the size of the starting section of hair.
- If you have trouble keeping the braids neat, try using a little bit of hairspray or gel.
- Have fun with it! There is no right or wrong way to braid a heart. Feel free to get creative and add your own personal touch.
Conclusion:
This heart braid tutorial is a great way to add a touch of whimsy to your child’s hairstyle. It’s easy to learn and can be adapted to different hair lengths and textures. So, grab your hair elastics and have fun braiding!
