Here are photos I took of my daughter with a couple of updos I created when she was a Kindergarten attendant at the school prom and for a little miss contest in our town. In the first photo, what I did was put her hair in a ponytail and then I made 10 small 3 strand braids. Next I looped them all up and secured with the ends all fanned out. Then I curled the ends with a curling iron and attached ribbons around the base. In the next two photos, I must confess I don't really remember exactly how I did it! I know I started a Dutch perimeter braid behind one ear and worked to the other ear and then finished the tail and wrapped it around her head to look like a crown braid. Before I started I left out a small piece to do a little accent braid to loop across the bottom & then I put several jewelled bobby bins all over. I hope you enjoy the photos and maybe they provide some inspiration since my instructions are lacking. These photos are from four years ago! I've got to start taking more photos of the styles I do on my daughter's hair. I only wish I had someone to do mine!
