When I was at the American Girl Columbus Store, I looked at the doll hairstyles on a sign by the Doll Hair Salon. One of them was a featured Girl of the Year hairstyle for Lea, a double twist half-ponytail. It looked so adorable and unique, I took a picture of it to see if I could replicate it myself. It was a fun challenge and I love how it turned out!
Here's what it looked like on the sign. I didn't see a hair stylist do it, so I probably did it differently, but still got a similar result! Want to know how to do it too? Just follow these steps:
1. Take two sections of hair from one side. Twist the hair towards your doll's forehead. (If you're doing the right side, twist to the left. If you're doing the left side, twist to the right). 2. Cross section A over section B. Have someone else hold the hair for you as you do the other side. 3. After both sides are twisted and crossed, clip or have someone hold both A sections. Then bring both B sections together and secure with a hairtie. 4. Secure the remaining A sections with a hairtie, underneath the other ponytail. 5. Now you have two twisted ponytails, one on top of the other. 6. And, you're done!
Lea looks gorgeous with this hairstyle and I know your doll will too! If you try it out, feel free to send me a picture to [email protected] I'd love to see it!
Happy Styling! :)
