Patriotic Hairstyle: Mini Star with Pigtails | Q's Hairdos

I love this adorable hairstyle for the 4th of July or any time you want something a little more fancy! This style took us about 15 minutes and it was inspired by Becky at Wispy Princess (www.instagram.com/wispyprincess). The star may look complicated, but it's really pretty simple. Just follow along!

When wearing elastic styles like this, always be sure to use sunscreen on the part lines! What will you be doing for the 4th of July? We love to attend the kid parade and have a BBQ. Maybe go to the lake! Hope you all have a wonderful Independence Day!

1. Start with the center crown section parted off and clip out of the way.
2. Split the hair down the center back to form pigtails.
3. Secure each pigtail with an elastic.
4. Add water and spray gel if needed to tame the fly aways (I will link the gel below)
5. Take the hair in the crown that we clipped out of the way.
6. Section off about and inch wide section perpendicular to the face.
7. Secure this long section with an elastic in the middle of the section.
8. Part off the next section about an inch wide, this time splitting it into two.
9. Secure each section with an elastic on the outside of the section.
10. Take the remaining hair and split it into two square sections.
11. Secure with an elastic in the middle of the sections.
12. Add more water and spray gel to tame fly aways.
13. Split the front pony in half and twist each section.
14. Clip each half to the bottom pony on each side.
15. The left half to the left side and the right half to the right side.
16. Take the middle pony on the left side and split in half.
17. Twist each section and clip the left section to the bottom pony on the right side.
18. Secure the right section to the middle pony on the right side.
19. Now twist that middle pony on the right and secure to the bottom pony on the left.
20. Secure the clipped ponies to the bottom pony on the right side.
21. The star is finished!
22. We decided to braid the ponies with a simple three strand braid and then secure each one to the pigtail below it.
23. We curled the pigtails with a curling wand which I will link below.
24. Take one inch sections and holding the wand upside down, you will wrap the hair around the wand and hold for 5-10 seconds.
25. Add some bows like these cute ones from www.labellebabybows.etsy.com!
