Tessi Wood: How to Dutch Braid Short Toddler Hair | Q's Hairdos

Braiding tiny baby hairs on a toddler can be quite tricky. I have a few tips that can help to get those little hairs to stay in place! Follow this tutorial and I will show you how! As always, all of the products we use can be found in the description below!

Start with a deep side part and damp hair.
We will be using this brush during most of this style.
Also spray with spray gel to keep those baby hairs in place.
Take a one inch diagonal section at the part line.
Split into three.
Cross the side piece underneath the middle piece.
Again cross the other side piece underneath the middle piece.
Now we will add a one inch section of hair to the side piece.
Cross underneath the middle.
Add hair to the other side and cross underneath the middle.
Keep your hands right on top of the head to keep the braid tight.
Take this brush which I will link below and gently brush up a section of hair to add into the side piece.
If you brushed too much just take out some of the hair before adding it into the braid.
Continue adding hair from each side and crossing underneath the middle.
I mostly only use this brush on the hairline, to get those baby hairs up into the braid. Add more spray gel if needed.
Once you have braided the crown section, secure the braid with an elastic close to the head.
Take another elastic and wrap it around a few times.
Add our signature messy bun by keeping the elastic on your fingers.
Split the ponytail into two.
Curl the top half up and hold with your finger.
Curl the bottom half down and hold with your thumb.
Take the remaining elastic over top of the buns and let go.
Now curl the ends back into the elastic.
