Autumn Flower Girl (my hidden talent)

On one lovely autumn morning i had the pleasure of working on my partners nieces hair. She came up to me asking me if i could do her hair for the day. I didn't know what to do but i wanted to do something different and unique. So i took the chance of doing a hairstyle that i had never done before.

Little girls hairs can be quite a challenge to do because majority of the time they cannot sit as still as you want them too. (See below for tips on keep your child still) 
So im not sure what to call it, maybe a braided rose? I haven't decided on a name yet or if this hairstyle already exists and has a name. But After playing around with her hair for about 10 minutes i decided on this look.

Took about half an hour to 40 minutes to do this hairstyle. It does not need any appliances or hair products but if you'd like no fly aways and a smooth and clean braid you could put some wax before braiding.

Tips on keeping a child still:

  • Give them something to do that would keep them in that one spot and not move around much. i.e. an ipad or tablet of some sort with games, a phone
  • Put a movie on in which they can watch and not be bored
For really young children or any child at all i do not recommend bribing to get them to stay still. This could turn into a habbit and not a really good one at that.
