Another simple tip today. Sometimes either you or your daughter want fast and simple like two ponytails. They’re cute, but for just a couple extra minutes you can dress them up a little by using a zigzag part.
I start with damp hair because that makes the part easier to do and nicer to look at. Start above one eyebrow (I started above my daughter’s left eye.) and make a diagonal part.
Now start above the opposite eyebrow and do a diagonal part going the other direction.
Now go back to the other side and do another part parallel to the first part.
Continue this way as far as you want. I usually switch to a straight part when I get to the back of my daughter’s head. Her hair wasn’t quite damp enough at the back here so the part doesn’t look straight since the hair kind of sags. Just put your ponytails in like normal, but doesn’t that part jazz it up a little?
Do you have a favourite quick tip for making a simple hairstyle look more special?

We like doing that too. We like using flower clips in the girls’ hair.

I get tired of the same old even if it is fast. So I try to look for simple ways to spice things up.
