Tessi Wood: How to Dutch Braid | Braided Heart with a Ponytail | Valentine's Hairstyle

Find us on Instagram @teswood (www.instagram.com/teswood) and Facebook Q's Hairdos (www.facebook.com/qshairdos) Super cute style for Valentine's Day or any other day your sweet girl wants heart hair! This style took about 15 minutes and I did it mostly with dry hair. This style was originally inspired by Brown Haired Bliss. @brownhairedbliss

Start near the part line in the crown section.
Take a diagonal section about one inch and split into three.
Start a dutch braid by crossing the side strand under the middle strand.
Add hair to the side strand and then cross under the middle.
Add hair to the opposite side and then cross under the middle.
Continue the Dutch braid until you have braided the crown section.
Secure with an elastic.
Move this pony out of the way and secure the rest of the hair in a low side ponytail.
Split the hair in the upper pony into three sections.
Dampen the hair with water and add SoCozy Mousse to each section. (I will link the products I use below.)
Braid each of the three sections to the end and secure with a small clip temporarily.
Take one of the side braids and grab one piece of the elastic from the ponytail above.
Pull the braid up and through the elastic, leaving a tiny bit of the braid in the elastic still to form a little bubble.
Now repeat with the other side braid. Pulling it through the elastic but not all the way.
Form a heart with the two side braids and secure them to the middle braid with an elastic.
Comb through the bottom of the pony and secure the braids to the side ponytail.
Curl the hair in the ponytail if desired. I will link my curling iron below.
