Sisters Marie: The (Kids) Ballerina Chignon

With Kaitlyn's Wedding right around the corner, we have been looking for some cute hair ideas for my daughter (the prettiest flower girl, no doubt).

Cozy’s Cuts for Kids salons in NYC developed the ultimate resource for flower girl hairstyles, Cozy’s Complete Guide to Girls Hair. This way, the littlest member of the bridal party can shine down the aisle.

The Ballerina Chignon

Get the look:

Step 1: Starting with dry hair, comb or brush the hair to smooth and detangle it. Let hair fall where it naturally parts.

Step 2: Using a fine-tooth comb, section top front portion of hair horizontally, from the top of one ear to the top of the other ear. Pull the lower section of hair back into a ponytail and secure with a ponytail holder.

Step 3: Comb the front section straight back neatly and use hairpins to pin the hair into the ponytail base.

Step 4: Split the ponytail in half horizontally. Comb the top section up and roll it up into a loop. Using 2 or 3, pin the ends to the base of the ponytail.

Step 5: Comb the lower section of hair down. Rolling it under, make a loop. Use hairpins to pin the ends to the base of the ponytail.

Step 6: Using several hairpin, stretch out the loops of hair all around the ponytail base, so the loops each form a semicircle—one on the top and one on the bottom. If you wish, add small sparkly or pearl beads to hairpins and crown the top of the chignon.
