If you have little princesses of your own, you may be enticed to book a Bippidi Boppidi Boutique experience for them. If you do, you may be wondering what a great 2nd (or 3rd) day 'do for them would be.
Even if you don't book a BBB experience, this Hidden Mickey Hairdo is a great quick fix in the mornings for girls with medium to long hair.
- Divide the hair in half, from ear to ear. If you're working with thinner hair, be sure to make the bottom half end higher on the head, closer to the crown. Clip or tie each half loosely.
- Spritz the bottom half with water or spray gel to contain fly-away. Comb out to smooth everything down. Using a small elastic create a ponytail. Keep in mind that this will be Mickey's "face" so you will want this to be pretty high on the back of the head. Once you have the pony tail, you're going to twist into a bun, tucking the end underneath. Put an ouchless pony band around the bun to secure it.
- Divide the top section into two halves. Tie or clip each away from each other.
- Begin with one side and spritz it with water or spray gel. Comb it back toward the bottom ponytail and use a small clear elastic to tie back into a pony. Get it as close to the bottom bun as you can without causing loose strands.
- Twist the entire strand until it's tight. Then twist the twisted strand into a bun, only ONCE around itself. On the last twist around, take the strand down the middle and around the bottom bun. Use a bobby pin to secure the end.
- Repeat with the other side but do not twist around the bottom bun. Before twisting, take the bun if it's becoming tall and double it over itself and then twist the strand around it. It will give the bottom bun a fuller look and create the style above.
- OPTIONAL: Add a bow to one side to make this a Minnie 'do!
How do you fix your princess's hair for the parks? Do you do something special? What is your go-to style for Disney World?
You put me to shame! ;o) I just toss my daughter's hair up in to a quick ponytail. I'll have to try this sometime (if she'll sit still long enough for it.) Thanks for the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteI'll have a few more hair tutorials in the future. This one is super fast and easy once you do it once or twice to get a feel for it!
ReplyDeleteThat is cute. My little girls would love that. I'm no good with hair but maybe my wife can do this for our next trip to WDW.
